The DataMind Installer installs and runs one DataMind OS deployment on one host. It is a Compose stack of its own, beside the deployment. Every action on the deployment is a button on its screens.
The deployment keeps running while the Installer restarts or updates itself.
| What | Address |
|---|---|
| The Installer's screens | http:/ |
| Its API | http:/, on the same origin |
| DataMind OS | The Platform URL you entered at install. The address pill in the top bar opens it |
The Installer listens on port 8000. Keep this default: DataMind OS reaches the Installer on it.
Check it worked.
curl -sS http://localhost:8000/api/health
{"status":"ok","db":"up"}The Installer and its own database both answer.
docker compose -f /opt/delamain/docker-compose.yml ps -a
| Container | Role | Normal state |
|---|---|---|
| The Installer's database container | The Installer's own database, PostgreSQL 16 | Running, healthy |
| The one-shot migration container | Applies database migrations, then exits | Exited with code 0 |
| The Installer's backend container | The screens, the API and the deploy engine | Running, healthy |
Their real names are in Names on your host.
The address pill shows the Platform URL and a status dot, and opens DataMind OS:
| The pill reads | When |
|---|---|
| Hidden | While the screen loads, and before the first install |
| Installing… | An install job downloads files or pulls images |
| Starting… | The images are in place and the services start |
| The Platform URL | The deployment is installed. Click it to open DataMind OS |
The dot beside the URL is green while the deployment runs, red when a service has failed, and grey otherwise.
The Installer pill reads Installer prod-latest. Hover it for the exact build. When a newer
Installer is published it reads Installer update available, and an admin clicks it to open the
update. See Updating.
