Configure ArcGIS Notebook Server after installation

When your ArcGIS Notebook Server installation is complete, run the postinstallation utility to set up the necessary Docker components.

Add your OS account to the Docker group

Add your OS user account (or the account used to install ArcGIS Notebook Server) to a Unix group named docker. See the Docker documentation for complete steps.

Run the post-installation utility

ArcGIS Notebook Server includes a post-installation utility to be run after the software is installed. This utility installs the Docker container images for notebooks that you have downloaded from My Esri.

Complete the following steps to run the utility before creating your ArcGIS Notebook Server site.

  1. Open a terminal using the ArcGIS Notebook Server installation account.
  2. Change directories to the ArcGIS Notebook Server Tools folder. By default, this path is ${HOME}/arcgis/notebookserver/tools/postInstallUtility.
  3. You can refer to the utility's help by running the following command: > ./PostInstallUtility.sh -h
  4. ArcGIS Notebook Server requires Docker Engine to be installed on your machine. Check whether Docker is active on your machine by running the following command: > ./PostInstallUtility.sh -d
  5. If Docker is not installed, install it now.
    Note:

    If you have obtained an Advanced license, you should install both the Standard and Advanced container images downloaded from My Esri.

  6. Install your Docker image by specifying its file path. The image should be zipped in the .tar.gz format. Run the following command: > ./PostInstallUtility.sh -l <path of .tar.gz Docker image>

    Note:
    This step could take a few minutes to run.

Proceed to create your ArcGIS Notebook Server site.
