Quickstart

This quickstart spins up the demo stack on your laptop using Docker Compose — a fast way to try the platform. No edge hardware required. For a production edge install, use the Offline Bundle Install.

Prerequisites

• Docker 24+ and Docker Compose v2
• 8 GB RAM, 10 GB free disk
• (Optional) NVIDIA GPU + driver for TensorRT acceleration

1. Pull the demo stack

git clone https://github.com/xisom/edge-demo.git
cd edge-demo
docker compose pull

2. Start the runtime

docker compose up -d
docker compose ps

Open http://localhost:8080 — the web dashboard.

3. Send a sample inference

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/inference \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model": "demo-anomaly", "payload": {"temp": 78.4, "rpm": 1450}}'

You should see the prediction returned and the latency tile updated in the dashboard.

4. Next steps

• Hardware Setup — deploy on real edge hardware
• First Inference — load your own model
• Connect an input datasource
