ELERA Admin Lite
Lightweight ELERA administration with live operational visibility.
ELERA Admin Lite is a focused administration interface for the Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions ELERA Platform. It gives support teams read-only visibility into nodes, inherited configuration, endpoints, terminal configurations, catalogs, price lists, item coverage, promotions, and receipt templates.
The app ships as a pre-compiled GraalVM native executable in a minimal Docker container, connects to an existing ELERA deployment, and gives operators a faster path from high-level browsing to device-level runtime and configuration detail.
Change Log
New Admin Lite pages added in the latest UI update.
The newest Admin Lite build expands beyond catalog and node inspection with two operational pages aimed at live support work: Endpoints for runtime visibility and Term Config for terminal-to-device configuration browsing.
Endpoints page
The new Endpoints page gives operators a consolidated runtime view of endpoint instances, online versus offline status, attached services, and the POS state currently reported by the environment.
- Status browser with online and offline filtering
- Endpoint summary cards with node, services, and last-seen context
- Drill-down detail for endpoint identifiers, heartbeat timing, and POS status payloads
Term Config page
The new Term Config view lets teams browse terminal assignments by terminal type or by node, then drill into device-level configuration without leaving the Admin Lite shell.
- Grouped navigation by terminal type or node ID
- Counts for device coverage and quick search across assigned devices
- Device detail pages with summary metadata and raw JSON inspection
What Admin Lite helps teams inspect
The application sits beside an ELERA environment and gives operators a practical way to browse the data that usually matters during support, validation, migration, and day-two operational investigation.
Nodes and configuration
Browse the enterprise node hierarchy, filter to store-like nodes, open node details, and inspect inherited versus locally overridden configuration values.
- Full node hierarchy
- Configuration source visibility
- Raw node JSON access
Endpoints and terminal runtime
Move from a broad operational snapshot into endpoint-specific runtime details, attached services, and POS state without relying on direct API calls.
- Online and offline endpoint filtering
- Instance, device, and service visibility
- Endpoint-level drill-down screens
Terminal configuration coverage
Browse terminal types, assigned devices, and node distribution to confirm how configuration is laid out before troubleshooting or rollout work begins.
- Grouping by terminal type or node
- Search across types, devices, and endpoints
- Device detail and raw JSON inspection
Catalogs, price lists, and items
Review catalog hierarchy, catalog groups, price list coverage, and item details across price lists.
- Catalog and group browsing
- Price list status and item counts
- Cross-price-list SKU search
Receipts and promotions
Open a node-aware receipt template workspace and review promotion rules with plain-language explainers.
- FreeMarker receipt preview
- Template dependency visibility
- Promotion status and eligible item views
New endpoint workflows
The new endpoint screens add a clearer operational path for support teams: start from a live status browser, identify the relevant instance, and open a detail page that exposes heartbeat, POS status, and runtime identifiers.
New terminal configuration workflows
The new Term Config area gives support and rollout teams a faster way to inspect how devices are assigned and where terminal definitions live, whether the question starts from a terminal type, a node, or a specific device.
Core Admin Lite workflows
Beyond the new operational pages, Admin Lite still covers the configuration and merchandising views that support teams use most often during validation and issue analysis.
Receipt and promotion detail
Admin Lite includes a node-aware receipt studio and promotion integration on item detail pages for faster validation of store-facing behavior.
Docker quick start
Point Admin Lite at your ELERA Platform API or Nginx reverse proxy through ELERA_BASE_URL, then open the app on port 8090.
Run the image
docker pull redlistsolutions/elera-admin-lite:latest
docker run -d \
--name elera-admin-lite \
-p 8090:8090 \
-e ELERA_BASE_URL=http://your-elera-host:8080 \
redlistsolutions/elera-admin-lite:latestDeployment notes
The container can connect to ELERA on the same Docker host, a local network, a remote endpoint, or the same Docker network as an ELERA development stack.
- Docker 20.10 or later
- Existing ELERA Platform endpoint
- Login uses ELERA Platform credentials
Security
Designed for controlled support access.
Admin Lite uses a server-side session model and a server-configured ELERA endpoint. The Docker Hub distribution is a GraalVM native binary in a minimal runtime image.
- Veracode static analysis score: 100/100
- Server-side communication with the ELERA API
- Opaque session cookie stored in the browser
- CSRF protection on state-changing endpoints
- Non-root container user in the runtime image
