# Getting Started

## Docker
3
The Docker Container Repository is the most reliable and up-to-date distribution channel for LubeLogger.

You need to have Docker installed and Virtualization enabled(typically a BIOS setting).

You will then clone the following files onto your computer from the repository
7
- docker-compose.yml(docker-compose-traefik.yml if using Traefik)

Run the following commands to pull down the image and run container.
0c19e1 Hargata Softworks 2024-01-27 22:56:52 10
```
11
docker pull ghcr.io/hargata/lubelogger:latest
7da8aa Hargata Softworks 2024-04-23 22:17:27 12
docker compose up -d
0c19e1 Hargata Softworks 2024-01-27 22:56:52 13
```
14
By default the app will start listening at localhost:8080, this port can be configured in the docker-compose file.

### Kubernetes Deployment

[Helm Chart](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/anza-labs/lubelogger) provided by [Anza-Labs](https://github.com/anza-labs)

### Edge-tagged Image
20
The `:edge` tagged Docker image may contain features that are considered experimental/not fully tested but have been merged into the main branch, use at your own risk. If you're building the Docker image manually and are cloning directly from the main branch of the repository, your local copy of the repository will contain those experimental features.

To run the server, you just have to download the zip archive attached to the release, usually named LubeLogger_vNNN_win_x64.zip, extract the archive and double click on CarCareTracker.exe

When using this approach, the default port the app will be listening on is 5000, so you will navigate to localhost:5000

The following steps describes how to run LubeLogger as a pseudo-service that is started whenever Windows is booted up.
34
35
Note that LubeLogger cannot run as a true Windows Service as that will break cross-platform compatibility; however, it can run in the background with similar behaviors to a Windows Service.

37
1. Launch `Task Scheduler` - should come with every copy of Windows
38
2. Create a Task, note `Hidden` and `Run whether user is logged on or not` in `General` tab

46
4. In `Actions` tab, create an action to launch `path\to\lubelogger\CarCareTracker.exe` and set the `Start in` to the folder the executable is in i.e.: `path\to\lubelogger`

985a94 Hargata Softworks 2024-09-14 21:03:49 66
```
67
chmod 777 ./CarCareTracker
68
./CarCareTracker

**Note:** `chmod 777` above is only used to rule out permission quirks/issues, please restrict the permissions to the lowest acceptable level once you have verified that LubeLogger can be executed on your machine.

## Test that It Works
74
Whichever path you choose, once you get the app up and running, just navigate to the IP address and port the server is listening to and you should be able to see the app
