Install Profinity with the Docker one-line installer

Install Profinity on a Docker host with a single script instead of writing a compose file yourself. To write the compose file yourself, and for the Docker, CAN adapter, licence, and PROFINITY_HOME requirements that apply to both methods, refer to Install Profinity with Docker.

Prohelion provides three helper scripts for Docker hosts:

  • install-docker.sh creates ~/profinity-docker, or the folder named by --dir, writes a compose file, pulls the image, and starts Profinity.
  • ~/profinity-docker/profinity.sh runs docker compose up -d and waits for the HTTP port to answer.
  • ~/profinity-docker/update.sh runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d.

The --image option, or the PROFINITY_DOCKER_IMAGE variable, selects a different image than the default prohelion/profinity:latest.

  1. Download the installer from the Profinity release on GitHub, with its checksum. install-docker.sh writes profinity.sh and update.sh itself, so it is the only file you need.

    curl -fsSL -o install-docker.sh https://github.com/Prohelion/Profinity/releases/latest/download/install-docker.sh
curl -fsSL -o install-docker.sh.sha256 https://github.com/Prohelion/Profinity/releases/latest/download/install-docker.sh.sha256

  2. Verify the checksum and run the installer:

    sha256sum -c install-docker.sh.sha256 && bash install-docker.sh --dir ~/profinity-docker

    On macOS, use shasum -a 256 -c install-docker.sh.sha256 in place of sha256sum -c.
