Deploy Bold BI as a Sub-Application in Docker Environment

This section explains how to install Bold BI as a Sub-Application in a Docker environment using the docker advance command.

1. Follow this document to deploy the Bold BI application on a Docker environment using the advanced command.

2. After successfully deploying the Bold BI container, edit the boldbi-nginx-config file present in the Nginx mount persistent volume path (Example: /var/www/boldbi/nginx ) and change the Bold BI configuration as shown below.

   Note: You are going to set the subpath as /dashboard.

   Example: http://example.com/dashboard

   #server {
   #listen 80;
   #server_name example.com;
   #return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
   #}
   
   server {
                   listen        80;
   
                   #server_name   example.com;
   
                   #listen 443 ssl;
                   #ssl on;
                   #ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain.crt;
                   #ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain.key;

   }
   

3. Modify the InternalAppUrls with the /dashboard subpath in both config.json and product.json files present in the Bold BI application persistent volume path location </var/www/boldbi/boldbi_data/configuration> as shown in the following screenshot:

   product.json

   

   config.json

   

   Note: From version 6.19.14, use the config.json and the config.xml for versions prior to this.

4. Restart the container using the following command.

   docker restart <container ID/ container name>
   

   Example: docker restart Bold BI

5. After restarting the application, you can access the Bold BI using the http://domain-name/dashboard.
