As of Cloud Agent V1.19.0, devices will be able to utilize the new Container Directory via the Containers tab in LiveEdge Cloud. The Container Directory is where Videon will list all Videon validated Docker containers created by both Videon and partners. If you would like your container listed in the Container Directory page, please open a support request and we will begin the process of vetting and validating your container.

Any container listed in the Container Directory must meet at least the following criteria:

1. Container was created and is managed/maintained by you/your organization or Videon
2. Container can be installed and run via the Advanced functionality in the Container tab
   • This means that the container can function properly using only the following options:
     
3. Videon can run the container on a test device to validate installation and functionality
4. Container image is hosted in a public Docker Hub or Amazon ECR repository

Videon will confirm the above and more when a container is submitted for listing verification.

Using Videon's Container Directory

In order to find the Container Directory, navigate to the Containers tab when viewing a device in LiveEdge Cloud

In the Containers tab, there will be two sections: Installed Containers and Available Containers

Containers that have passed Videon's validation process and are not yet installed on the device will be listed in the Available Containers section for single-click installation. This means that users can simply click the Install button and the Container Directory will do all of the work of pulling the right image, creating the container using the above options shown in the Create Container dialog, and then run the container automatically.

Based on the size of the container image, it may take several minutes to download, but once Install is clicked, users can navigate away and come back later once installation is complete. Once installation is complete, the container listing will have moved to the Installed Containers section and can similarly be uninstalled by clicking the Uninstall button.

If a container needs to be controlled using the former Containers tab functionality, simply click the Advanced switch in the upper-right corner of the Containers view. More information on the advanced view can be found here: How to install a Docker container via the Containers tab
