Cloud material download

Notes: Cloud material can only be downloaded by customers having access to Exense FTP.

Docker images

Starting from Step 25, Step docker images (Controller and Agents) will be stored under the “docker” folder of each releases, on the FTP server.

Images are stored using the Docker “save” method, so you will have to use the Docker “load” command to add them to your Docker repository.

For example :

docker load -i PATH_TO_YOUR_IMAGE

Please consider the official Docker documentation available at https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/load/.

Helm Chart

Helm Charts can be downloaded from the “step-chart” folder present on Exense FTPs.
