Tutorials

The following tutorials will help familiarize you with the workflow for your Factory. As the concepts build upon others, follow them sequentially.

Important

The tutorials assume you have followed the Getting Started and that you have a registered device.

Make sure you have git and Fioctl installed on your host machine. QEMU is also required if it is set in your Factory.

Getting Started With Docker introduces docker-compose apps. Next is Creating Your First Target —learning what a Target is through experience is key to using your Factory.

Then you will learn how devices consume Targets with Deploying Your First Application.

Configuring and Sharing Volumes introduces ways to configure devices.

Working With Compose Apps provides more in depth experience creating Apps.

If you need to make changes on your device outside running containers, learning about Customizing the Platform is vital.

Learning about Working With Tags assists with development workflow.

For further instructional reading, the User Guide covers common tasks and settings for your Factory.

For advanced use cases and technical details, see the Reference Manual.
