Deploying Dermi Atlas Professional

Overview

This article describes how to deploy Dermi Atlas Professional using the Dermi Atlas Manager deployment wizard.

Pre-deployment Checklist

Ensure the following requirements are met before starting the installation:

• Dermi Atlas Manager installed and running (Required)
• License key validated (Required)
• Internet connection active (Required)
• Docker installed and running (Required)
• Administrator privileges (Required)

Deployment Wizard Walkthrough

The Dermi Atlas Manager deployment wizard has five steps.

Step 1: License

Dermi Atlas Manager verifies the license key validity and subscription status. If a key has not been entered yet, enter the license key, accept the End User License Agreement, and select Activate License. Once the license is validated, the wizard advances to the Requirements step automatically.

Step 2: Requirements

The system automatically checks for:

• Internet Connection
• Atlas Manager Version
• Docker installation and status
• System Memory (Min 4GB)
• Disk Space (Min 20GB)

Each requirement will show a green checkmark if met. If Docker is not detected, ensure Docker Desktop is running. Once all checks pass, click Continue.

Step 3: Options

Choose the installation type:

• Fresh Installation: Select this for new deployments. It downloads the latest version of Dermi Atlas Professional.
• Restore Backup: Select this to restore a previous deployment from a backup file (useful for migrations or reinstallations).

For new setups, select Fresh Installation, accept the agreement, then click Start Installation.

Step 4: Installation

Dermi Atlas Manager will now:

1. Download Dermi Atlas Professional container images.
2. Configure the Docker environment.
3. Setup the database and storage.
4. Generate SSL certificates.

Note: This process typically takes 5 to 10 minutes. Do not close Dermi Atlas Manager or restart the host computer.

Step 5: Complete

Upon success, a completion screen appears. Click Continue. A first installation opens the Admin Passphrase page before the Atlas Status page; see Atlas Manager Administration.

Verifying Deployment Success

The Atlas Status page displays the health of the system:

• Atlas Control: Shows "Running".
• Container Status: shows All containers running. Each service displays a healthy indicator.
• Atlas Access: Shows the access URL, with an HTTP and HTTPS toggle.

Accessing Dermi Atlas Professional

To access the application:

1. In Dermi Atlas Manager, look at the Atlas Access section.
2. Click Open App or copy the URL into a web browser on the host computer.

Default URLs:

HTTP: http://[your-local-ip]:15015
HTTPS: https://[your-local-ip]:15045

Note: Port numbers may vary if conflicts were detected during setup.

HTTP vs HTTPS Access

• HTTP: Works immediately for testing on local networks.
• HTTPS: Recommended for production. Requires installing the SSL certificate on client devices. See SSL Certificate Setup for HTTPS Access.

Verifying Network Access

To test access from another device (e.g., an iPad):

1. Connect the device to the same Wi-Fi/network.
2. Enter the HTTP URL shown in Dermi Atlas Manager into the device's browser.
3. The sign-in page is displayed.

If the connection fails, check the firewall settings. See Configuring Your Firewall for Dermi Atlas Professional or Troubleshooting Network and Connectivity Issues.

Next Steps

A new deployment holds no accounts yet. The license owner invites the first member from Dermi Portal and claims that invitation on the practice network; see Creating Your First Dermi Atlas Professional Account.
