Installation guide

Please if you haven't read yet take a look at System requirements before you start the installation procedure.

Step 1. - Install Docker

xBit DCM is now utilizing the Docker platform on Windows, Linux, Server or Mac platforms! This modern approach allows for data to be stored in containers within the deploying infrastructure, ensuring reliability and efficiency. Administrators will enjoy the added transparency and flexibility. More can be read on the download pages as you navigate them shortly.

  1. Go to https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
  2. Choose the platform of your host system
  3. Navigate to the Download from Docker Hub (Windows and Mac users) ❗️Linux has a different interface

  5. Run installer.
  6. Restart your computer!

WSL 2 Linux Kernel may be required for your computer. If prompted by the Docker install to download a WSL 2 Linux Kernel from Microsoft.com (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10), please follow those instructions and install the kernel.

  • Step 4 of the linked instructions offers a download of the package
  • Be sure to restart your computer AGAIN before attempting to run Docker in the next step.

Step 2. - Download files

You should receive an email titled “xBit DCM Docker Files” (sent separately). Please check Spam/Junk folders if you do not see it. Download the appropriate bundle for your operating system. A compressed installer .zip file will download.

Once the download is completed, extract the zip “xbit app” folder to any location (desktop is a suggestion). Remember where you put it because you will need to find it for the next step.

Step 3. - Start the installer

Step 5. - Note IP address of installation

A message will display that the installation process was successful. A pointer to the application IP address and Port will display. Please copy this address out for continued access. Instructions for creating a dedicated hostname, instead of using the IP address, are also included.

Once you have the IP and port number noted, you can [P] Proceed and ENTER twice and the PowerShell will close.

If you need your IP and port number in the future: Navigate to your “xBit app” folder and open the “endpoint.txt” file. This can be shared.

Step 6. - Load xBit in your localhost.

Open your browser (we recommend Chrome). Browse to the IP address and port number (i.e. 192.168.88.162:14780) provided by the install. If your IP address ever changes, you can reach the instance by typing “localhost:port #” (in this case: LOCALHOST: 14780) This will bring you to the xBit licensing setup, where you will create your agency/organization account and the first Admin user.

You will no longer need to reference the xBit DCM Docker File email sent from No-reply@teeltech.com. The initial email (where you received this document) contains the xBit DCM activation license key and .teelkey file. You will need them at this point.
