Tutorial: How to Install SIP3 on Windows 10

SIP3 is a powerful tool for real-time network monitoring and troubleshooting. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps needed to install SIP3 on a Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Docker Desktop installed and running
  • A Git client installed

Step 1: Clone the SIP3 Repository

Open the Git Bash command prompt and run the following command to clone the SIP3 repository to a directory on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-docker-compose.git

Step 2: Navigate to the Sip3-docker-compose Directory

Navigate to the cloned directory using the following command:

cd sip3-docker-compose

Step 3: Update Docker Compose Configuration

To start SIP3, we will use Docker Compose. The docker-compose.yml file in the cloned directory contains the necessary configuration for SIP3. However, some values may need to be updated for your specific environment.

Open the docker-compose.yml file in your preferred text editor and make the following changes:

  • Replace <your domain> with your domain name or IP address in the VIRTUAL_HOST environment variable.
  • Specify the IP address of your network interface in the DOCKER_HOST_IP environment variable.

Save the changes to the file.

Step 4: Start SIP3

To start SIP3, run the following command:

docker-compose up

This will start SIP3 in the foreground, and you should see logs as it starts up.

Step 5: Access the SIP3 Web Interface

Once SIP3 has started, you can access the web interface by opening your browser and navigating to http://<your domain>.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SIP3 on Windows 10.
