Step 3: Configure Docker

By default, Docker is not configured to start automatically on boot. To ensure Docker starts automatically, no matter the machine status, run:

sudo sysrc docker_enable=YES

Once the repository is downloaded, navigate to the orchest directory:

./install.sh

This will start the installation process and install all the required dependencies for Orchest.

To verify that Orchest is installed correctly, run orchest --version.

Step 5: Start Orchest

To start Orchest, navigate to the orchest directory and run:

./start.sh

This will start the Orchest server and allow you to access the Orchest web interface. You can access the interface by navigating to http://[your_ip_address]:8000 in your web browser.
