Docker

important

This integration is supported by TNA Connect V2 only and requires a V2 Service subscription.

Docker is a platform designed to help developers build, share, and run container applications. It is used to automate the deployment of applications in lightweight containers so that applications can work efficiently in different environments in isolation.

Docker is used to run 3^rd party software like Portainer and Node-RED on the TNA, expanding its functionality and supporting a wider range of projects. The following non-exhaustive list includes compatible protocols and interfaces that can be used with these applications:

Automation

• BACnet
• OPC UA / DA
• Modbus TCP / RTU
• KNX

IoT

• MQTT
• ZigBee
• Z-Wave

General

• Serial (RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485)
• HTTP API (i.e. REST)
• SNMP
• WebSocket

Subscriptions

There are 3 subscription options: Basic, Advanced, Professional. Each option offers a set of services as desbribed below:

Service	Description	Basic	Advanced	Professional
Node-RED	Node-RED runs alongside TNA applications, enabling data ingestion, transformation, and forwarding between devices and secure data transmission to evalink talos and evalink analytics.	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked
Application Supervision	Applications are continuously monitored and will be restarted if their performance degrades.	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked
Full Deployment Control	Full control of your deployment and the applications you want to run on the TNA.	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked
Managed Backup & Restore	Periodic backups of applications are performed automatically in the background. These backups are encrypted and securely stored in evalink, allowing data restoration from a specific point in time if needed.	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked
Detailed Device & Application Metrics	Device metrics like CPU utilization and memory usage can be analyzed using evalink analytics.	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked	radio_button_checked
