Setup DURAARK System on Windows

The duraark-installer - as the name says - installs the DURAARK System on Windows.

Follow those steps to get DURAARK up and running

1. Install Docker Toolbox as a prerequisite

2. Download the latest version of the installer here (it is a ZIP file)

3. Extract the ZIP file and run the duraark-install executable. Wait until the installer finishes, which may take several minutes to download the system, depending on the internet connection. Don't get confused by weird console windows, everything will be fine.

4. Open Kitematic (which should be available on your Desktop after installing Docker Toolbox in step 1)

5. You should see something similar to this screenshot:

6. Klick on the duraarkinstaller_web_1 item (see marker '1') and wait until you see the the DURAARK system in the preview windows. After that click on the cog symbol (see marker '2'). This opens a window where you click on the URL (marked in the screenshot below). As web browser we strongly suggest Chrome or Thunderbird (opening the URL with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is not working for some reason).

7. The DURAARK System opens up in your browser:

Development

This respository contains scripts to releases an installer image for Windows and Linux on Docker Hub and to create a Windows NSIS installer executable to install the 'duraark-system'.
