Question

When I wanted to run and deploy dashboard on my computer, I had some problems.

1. After I studied the tutorial (https://eventmesh.apache.org/docs/instruction/runtime-with-docker), I deployed runtime in a virtual machine (it works fine. I wrote a demo based on the http protocol that also works well.)
2. Then I opened the dashboard project source code using the IDE (VS Code) and executed the command npm run dev.
3. Then use google browser to visit https://localhost:3000/ as the following picture shows.

I don't know how to do the next step, what is https://localhost:10106? What should I fill in?

Help me, thanks.

@HadesKing If you are using the 1.4.0 version of EventMesh Docker, you may have trouble connecting to the dashboard because the image does not expose port 10106 for admin access. The current solution is to build a Docker image using the latest EventMesh code and run the updated image, which should allow you to connect to the dashboard.


docker run on WSL.
The current dashboard does not load the admin address through the local configuration file, but the address can be modified in the Endpoint.tsx file.

Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:8u111-jdk

MAINTAINER mxsm [email protected]

WORKDIR /data
RUN mkdir /data/app
ADD eventmesh-1.8.0-release.tar.gz  /data/app/eventmesh
WORKDIR /data/app/eventmesh/bin

EXPOSE 10000
EXPOSE 10105
EXPOSE 10106

ENV DOCKER true

CMD bash start.sh

Thank you for your reply!

1. What is it ? What files are in this package ?

2. Is start.sh ?

@mxsm
Solved.
Prerequisites: You need to read this tutorial and install rocketmq first.(https://eventmesh.apache.org/docs/instruction/store-with-docker)
Here are the steps I took to solve this problem.
First, you need a runtime image of the latest code(from https://github.com/apache/eventmesh ) . Since in the 1.4.0 eventmesh image there is no expose 10106 port open, you need to make your own image)

1. Open cmd in the root directory and use these command.
   gradlew.bat clean jar dist
gradlew.bat installPlugin
gradlew.bat tar
2. You can see a tar.gz archive in the build directory.
3. Use Dockerfile to package the image, its content is this.

FROM openjdk:8u111-jdk
MAINTAINER mxsm [email protected]

WORKDIR /data
RUN mkdir /data/app
ADD eventmesh-1.8.0-release.tar.gz  /data/app/eventmesh
WORKDIR /data/app/eventmesh/bin

EXPOSE 10000
EXPOSE 10105
EXPOSE 10106

ENV DOCKER true

CMD bash start.sh

4. Excute a docker command.
   docker build -t apache-eventmesh-runtime:20230404-1 .
   Congratulations. You can get an event mesh image.

5. Run this image.

docker run -d -p 10000:10000 -p 10105:10105 -p 10106:10106 \
-v /data/eventmesh/rocketmq/conf/eventmesh.properties:/data/app/eventmesh/conf/eventmesh.properties \
-v /data/eventmesh/rocketmq/conf/rocketmq-client.properties:/data/app/eventmesh/conf/rocketmq-client.properties \
apache-eventmesh-runtime:20230404-1

Second,download the dashboard source code.(Is a zip package from https://github.com/apache/eventmesh-dashboard.)
Open the source code of dashboard using VS Code(or other IDEs).

1. Run the following command in the terminal.(Wait a few minutes.)
   npm install next react react-dom
2. Then execute the command.
   npm run dev
3. Open https://localhost:3000 in your browser and configure the address for runtime(and use 10106 port).

The end!

@HadesKing Thanks for this documentation. I am on Windows and in my case I have reproduced those steps but I have an error:

Is your Dockerfile is in the docker folder or in the root folder?

you need make the tar.gz package and the dockerfile same directory.

@xwm1992 Yes.

@xwm1992 it works fine on my Windows pc. Thanks

Has anyone succeeded in making this work with an HTTPS connection? I deployed event mesh on K8S and exposed it over Istio. The API endpoints are working fine but it keeps on returning an HTTP 404 when I try to configure it in the dashboard.

Not sure what the problem is so before I debug it a bit more, I would like to know if others faced issues with this.

@brampurnot May you please provide some debug logs? It will be helpful.

Dashboard now only supports localhost connection. It will support connecting to any instance in the near future.

Hi @Pil0tXia ,
It's a bit strange but it actually works. I think something might be wrong with the error message in the dashboard. When you enter the URL and click on save, it shows the error as you can see on the screenshot:

However after a while, I noticed that the configuration and the metrics started populating so it seems to work. Could it be that the /client endpoint does not exist? Because that's the endpoint it calls when you click on save:

[Pil0tXia]

@brampurnot It is a known issue for us and we have already assigned a develeoper to resolve it. For now the only way to use the dashboard properly is to access it from a machine that has Runtime started.

Ok thanks for the info!
