VISSR Docker

Intro

This is a guide to setup and run the vissv2 server together with the remotiveLabs broker with recorded vehicle data. The data set is residing the remotiveLabs cloud - . There are some configuration files that needs to be set and pushed to the docker images. The docker-compose-rl.yml is depending on the Dockerfile(for building) also located in the project root. A docker directory is reserved for adding different docker setups with different data providers.

1. feeder-rl

The feeder-rl has two basic commands which lets you switch dataprovider. We have –dataprovider remotive or –dataprovider sim. This guide will focus on using –dataprovider remotive.

  • Select the Turning Torso Drivecycle, and the vss configuration.
  • Select Play, and choose select broker, choose My personal broker and then Upload.
  • Select Go to broker
  • In the left down corner select Broker details and copy the url and the api-key, we need them for the feeder configuration
  • keep the page open in the browser (we will not press start yet)
  • Edit the config.json in the feeder-rl directory, replace url and api key.
{
  "tls": "yes",
  "cert_path_name": "certificate.pem",
  "name_spaces": ["vss"],
  "broker_url": "<broker url>",
  "port":"443",
  "client_id" : "volvo-go-client",
  "api_key": "<api key>",
  "vss_tree_path": "../vss/vss-flat-json/normalized-json/vss_n.json",
  "signalfilter": ["Vehicle.Speed","Vehicle.Body.Lights.IsLeftIndicatorOn","Vehicle.VehicleIdentification.VIN","Vehicle.CurrentLocation.Latitude","Vehicle.CurrentLocation.Longitude","Vehicle.Chassis.Accelerator.PedalPosition"]
}
  • The signalfilter element contains the signals that we would like the broker to filter our for us.
  • Save the file.

NOTE:

The feeder uses the redis state storage database to handle incoming datapoints. The location of the database and its server socket communication file.

running feeder-rl example:

feeder-rl --dataprovider remotive --rdb /tmp/docker/redisDB.sock --fch /tmp/docker/server-feeder-channel.sock

For further details view the docker-compose-rl.yml located in the project root.

2. server configuration

The server needs to know where it should forward its requests for writing or reading datapoints.

  • Edit the file feeder-registration.json
[
  {
    "root":"Vehicle",
    "fname":"/tmp/docker/server-feeder-channel.sock",
    "db": "/tmp/docker/redisDB.sock"
  }

]
  • set the fname element to where the feeder channel socket file should reside.
  • set the db element to where the redis database should reside.

NOTE: The above file paths and file names are correct. Changing the location of these will require changes in the docker-compose yml.

3. build and run

  • locate the docker-compose-rl.yml file in the project root
  • build the docker containers:
docker compose -f docker-compose-rl.yml build 
  • revisit the browser from step 1, press the start button, the recorded data playback starts.
  • run the docker-compose:
docker compose -f docker-compose-rl.yml up

If you get the following output to the docker console you have succesfully connected and started the vissv2server:
