Hi,

is there a way to run container on a axc 2152 with the latest firmware?

A couple of years ago i was able to run nodered as a container with balanea on the axc 2152. But since the latest firmware update i found no info about container on axc 2152

Can somebody help me here please?

Thanks & Regards

Firmware 2025.0 and later can manage OCI images using podman, without requiring root access.

Here’s a simple example:

(the OCI image in that example isn’t available for armv7 targets, but it demonstrates the concept).

There’s information on how to build a PLCnext Store app from an OCI image, here:

Basically, the container engine is already installed, so you can just power up the PLCnext Control device, start an ssh session as admin, and start typing podman commands.
