CLIx Platform Installation Guide (On Server Machine)

NOTE: For the installation, we need to have a CLIx Platform installer. In case there is no installer, a temporary installer can be created using the following steps (These steps work only on systems having Ubuntu installed):

Preparing temporary installer:

 

Step 1: Download required files:

This command will download the tar file of installation-content.

This command will extract downloaded tar file.  The extracted directory name will be “installation-content”.

 

Step 2: Prepare installer:

(Command {Syntax} : “cd  <mount_path>” )

(Command : “mkdir  -p home/core” )

(Command {Syntax} : “rsync  -avPh <installation-content_directory_full_path>  home/core” )

 

Note: Values inside “<” and “>” are placeholders, please use actual values per the scenarios.

 

After the installer has been created, we can start with the following steps to install CLIxPlatform:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(These steps assume that the contents in the installer are put inside “/home/core/” and are downloaded from the URL given in this document and with folder name “installation-content”)

    Commands: 

    “lsblk” 

    “sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt” 

    “sudo rsync -avPh /mnt/home/core/installation-content/*.sh /home/core/”

      Command: “sudo bash install-docker-and-docker-compose-and-docker-machine-offline.sh​”

        Command: “docker ps​​”

           

           

           

            Command: “sudo bash setup.sh​​”

            Note: During this time, please visit other client machines in the lab, add host entry in the client machines in “hosts” file with “server-ip clixserver clixserver.tiss.edu”, check for LAN cable connections, switch, and other such crosschecks to make the lab ready and fully functional upto possible extent.

             

             

             

            Execute following command after completion of the above step to copy the Softwares:

            Command: “sudo bash copy-softwares.sh​​”

             

             

             

            Assign IP to the server machine, which will be ​ same as that of before formatting ​ the machine

              Eg: IPv4:: 192.168.1.100 : 255.255.255.0 : 192.168.1.1

                 

                 

                 

                  Note:​​ In case of NComputing clients, add the certificates for each client separately by logging in each of the users from NComputing server terminal and logout the user after adding the certificates.

                   

                  Download and click on each of the ``.pfx” file in following sequence and with steps given below:
