Live-Demo on Gitpod

Live-Demo on Gitpod is a full OpenEMS demo System based on Docker images in a Cloud-IDE. The demo contains the following simulated services:

1. Start Gitpod Workspace

  1. Open the following link in a browser to start the Gitpod workspace: Gitpod Workspace

    This runs the workspace based on the latest OpenEMS Release branch. To run a specific branch, add the branch name to the URL; e.g. to run the current develop branch, open the following link: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/OpenEMS/openems/tree/develop

  2. Once the Workspace started up completely, you are getting redirected to a Visual Studio Code instance in your browser

  3. In the TERMINAL view you will find four Gitpod Tasks, that compile and run the different parts of OpenEMS:

    1. Gitpod Task 1: java Compiles and runs OpenEMS Backend

    2. Gitpod Task 2: java Compiles and runs an OpenEMS Edge instance

    3. Gitpod Task 3: ng serve…​ Compiles and runs the OpenEMS UI (connecting to OpenEMS Backend)

    4. Gitpod Task 4: python3 Runs Odoo with the OpenEMS Module

  4. After every service has been started, a few new browser tabs will open for the most important web interfaces

    Possibly your browser blocks opening of Pop-up-Windows. Be sure to accept Pop-up-Windows in your Gitpod Workspace once the browser asks you.

2. Access Services
