Add Container Service wizard generates script that includes localhost and cannot be used to deploy container services to nodes

As described in the Orion Platform Administrator Guide, you can use the Add Container Service wizard to add a container service by:

• Connecting to the server that hosts containers,
• Generating a script for a supported container environment, such as Docker, and
• Running the script to download deployment files and deploy containers to nodes.

This article describes what to do if you log into the Orion Web Console using a LocalHost address, launch the Add Container Service wizard, and click Get Script, but the generated script includes an incorrect address.
 

The script generated by the Add Container Service wizard uses the same address that was used to log into the Orion Web Console. If you log in using localhost, that address is included in the script but cannot be executed against nodes because it is a loopback address.

Here is an example of a script generated for a Docker container service after logging into the Orion Web Console using localhost:

curl -o docker-compose.yaml http://localhost/Orion/CMAN/Services/DeploymentFile.ashx?guid=0f9420b8-8939-48e5-8134-67b1d9418c06 
sudo docker-compose up -d

• Edit the generated script to change the localhost loopback address to the IP address of the main Orion server (for example, 192.168.0.0)
• Before adding a container service, log into the Orion Web Console using the IP address of the main Orion server instead of localhost.
