Installing on Linux

On Linux, Deneb Aero runs as a Docker container that starts with Docker. It listens only on this computer (address 127.0.0.1, port 43127).

Requirements

To check that Docker is usable without sudo, run:

docker info

If this fails with a permission error, add your user to the docker group and log in again:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Procedure

  1. Open the Download page in the Studio on the website (see Installing Deneb Aero).

  2. In the Linux section, select Copy next to the command. It has the form:

    curl -fsSL https://.../install | bash
    
  3. Paste the command in a terminal and press Enter.

  4. The script downloads the image for your processor, verifies its checksum, loads it into Docker and starts the container deneb-aero. When it is ready, it prints:

    Deneb Aero is running: http://127.0.0.1:43127/?studio#/projects
    
  5. On a desktop, the Studio opens in your browser. Otherwise open the address yourself.

Starting and stopping

The container restarts with Docker. To stop it:

docker stop deneb-aero

To start it again:

docker start deneb-aero

To read its log:

docker logs deneb-aero

Where the data is kept

Runs, flight packages and the connection to your account are kept in:

~/.local/share/deneb-aero

(or $XDG_DATA_HOME/deneb-aero when XDG_DATA_HOME is set). The folder is kept when Deneb Aero is updated.
