Hello everyone 👋,

I wanted to share what I’ve achieved as of now (Septembre, 13th 2021) with the official (and new) balenaos-in-container v1.0.0 image.

# ssh onto a fresh installed debian buster instance

# login as root

```bash
sudo su - root

```

# install system dependencies

```bash
apt-get update
apt-get install --yes docker.io docker-compose wget unzip

```

# setup balenaos-in-container

```bash
git clone https://github.com/balena-os/balenaos-in-container.git
echo '{"deviceType": "intel-nuc","localMode": true,"persistentLogging": false}' > ~/balenaos-in-container/config.json
docker-compose --project-directory ~/balenaos-in-container -f ~/balenaos-in-container/docker-compose.yml up --detach

```

# check that the container is up and running

```bash
docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
1498efb58a8d balenaos-in-container_os "/entry.sh" 3 hours ago Up 3 hours balenaos-in-container_os_1

```

# setup balena-cli

```bash
wget https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/releases/download/v12.48.11/balena-cli-v12.48.11-linux-x64-standalone.zip
unzip balena-cli-v12.48.11-linux-x64-standalone.zip
rm balena-cli-v12.48.11-linux-x64-standalone.zip
alias balena=~/balena-cli/balena
balena login

```

# find the ip address of the supervisor

```bash
balena scan
