Hi,
We would like to use openboxes for an university project in Germany. I am trying to install the software on-premise on my Mac with the apple silicon chip m1. But i can’t find any tutorials or setup introductions for Mac.
Do you have any tipps or some solutions, how i can install it on my pc. Thank for your attention and i look forward to a feedback.
Thanks for the message. The instructions for Mac will be similar to the Ubuntu instructions. Just make sure you install Java 7 and Tomcat 7. Not sure how easy that will be on a Mac but I’m familiar with at least one developer who got it working on a Mac. Give it a shot and continue to ask questions here and we’ll try to steer you in the right direction.
Alternatively you could use docker.
Or setup a VM using Ubuntu.
Alright Thank you very much for the fast reply.
Do you have any Instructions for using in Docker? I see the GitHub repo [GitHub - openboxes/openboxes-docker: Dockerized instance of OpenBoxes] but I find it very hard to understand it, because I’m not so fit in the technical stuff. In the terminal I became an error like this:
=> ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io /library/openjdk:7-jdk
I have changed in the Dockerfile the openjdk from 7 to 18, then it shows me another error like:
=> ERROR [ 2/14] RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
It is very frustrating for me, because I’m not so familiar with this kind of technical stuff.
Do you plan making a tutorial for people like me?
Apologies for the delay. I was on holiday for most of last week due to Thanksgiving.

OpenBoxes is built on a web framework (Grails 1.3.9) that requires JDK 7

I’ll try to put together a tutorial video in the next few days.

Thank you very much. I am eager to see the turtorial and apologize for the inconvenience.
I should be finished with it by tonight or tomorrow.
Would you have a link for me where I could find it. Would be very nice if you could share it with me here?
Sorry I thought I had posted this the other day but it was sitting in my draft folder…

Here’s the docker tutorial video.

Seems my microphone was not working so there’s no audio. You can probably get a sense of what’s going on but there’s a lot of missing context so I’ll re-record when I get a chance.
I am not a chip expert but you can try the two suggestions in this SO post.
