Internal instructions for setting up Control Plane on the side of the customer.
Update Docker
Check if any updates for Docker are available. For the best experience your Docker installation should always be up to date.

Do not forget to adjust the frontend/backend url (aws url instead of localhost if necessary).
NOTE**
BACKEND_URL now has the “https://” removed from earlier versions. Also WSS is no longer needed.
Add the DEV_PORTAL_TOKEN to the controlplane-devportal.
Do not forget your certificates!

Frontend Certificates
To use production SSL certificates you must move your cert components to the following locations:
Mount the certificate in /etc/ssl/certs/frontend.crt
Mount the private key in /etc/ssl/private/frontend.key
These locations are static and not configurable via Environment Variables.
Backend Setup
First Admin User
Ensure the following environment variables are set:
- 'initial-admin.username=admin' - 'initial-admin.password=admin'
Then the initial credentials are username admin and password admin. The user and password should be changed later.
Configure TLS Certificate
If you want to enable ssl and provide a certificate + private key, it must be in form of a .p12 file, which must contain your private key and the certificate chain. See these commands on how to create a certificate chain file and then create a .p12 from it and your private key:
cat backend.crt > backend-chain.pem cat root.crt >> backend-chain.pem openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey backend.key -in backend-chain.pem -name backend -out backend.p12 -passout pass:Dont4get$1
Mount the certificate to some location in the backend container and then set server.ssl.key-store
to that location.
About Backend scalability
The backend does currently not support multiple parallel instances. Do not run more than 1 backend process The main issue is that agents would connect their websocket to only 1 backend instance and then to some instances the agent would appear connected and to others it would not.
What else can happen
Cross origin: Either the backend is not up yet or the certificate from it is not trusted either.
Once call the backend directly and accept the certificate as in 1.
