Openremote installation - ubuntu 24.04

Custom Deployment
1

Hello,

i have a Hetzner host with several VMs running.
For openremote i created a new ubuntu 24.04 machine.

For installation of openremote i try this manual:
Ubuntu Server Openremote Tutorial

First step:

sudo apt install default-jdk nodejs docker.io git
sudo apt-get install build-essential
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Then:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/openremote
cd /opt/openremote
sudo git clone https://github.com/openremote/openremote.git
cd openremote

Next should be this - which failed for me:

sudo make all

I leaved this step and went directly to:

sudo docker-compose up

This steps works without the make command before. Now the docker containers are running.

My question:

Are the setup steps above correct - do i leave something?

Will the make part cause problems?

Additional:
Now i can type my ip of the VM in browser and openremote opens.

But i cant login open remote says “sorry”
Invalid parameter: redirect_uri

Openremote should run without any dns or ssl. Only with my internal IP.
I have an nginx reverse proxy over all vms. This will keep the tricks for ssl.

Pls help. thx

Good morning @chris_haas ,

That guide seems to be quite old, and is about an older platform version of OpenRemote.

You can find the official documentation for installing OpenRemote here. It simply uses Docker’s Compose to start the OpenRemote platform.

Best of luck!

Thx for your reply.

I tested the second mentioned way from you:

  1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openremote/openremote/master/docker-compose.yml
  2. docker-compose pull
  3. OR_HOSTNAME=172.18.1.36 OR_SSL_PORT=8443 docker-compose -p openremote up -d

Not possible to login by 172.18.1.36 by browser. (blank page, error)

Then i tried again the old way:

  1. git clone the repository
  2. within the cloned directoy
  3. OR_HOSTNAME=172.18.1.36 OR_SSL_PORT=8443 docker-compose -p openremote up -d

does not work.

Than i try to:
sudo docker-compose up

Now i got the error:
Invalid parameter: redirect_uri
But i can see the openremote logo.

What do i miss here?

Thx

Hi @chris_haas,

When you don’t specify the OR_HOSTNAME variable before the docker-compose command you will get the redirect_uri error.
Can you try it again without the OR_SSL_PORT variable, like so:

OR_HOSTNAME=172.18.1.36 docker-compose -p openremote up -d

Make sure you execute this command in the directory where the docker-compose file is located

that was the hint. thx
