Docker installation

To install the latest version of Docker from the official repository, do the following:

1. Update the current package list:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo apt update

2. Install the packages that allow APT to use HTTPS:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

3. Add the CFG key of the official Docker repository to the system:

   Code Block
   language bash
   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

   Info
   title Note
   When installing on Debian 12, this command will look like this: Code Block language bash curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

4. Add the Docker repository to the list of the APT package sources:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"

   Info
   title Note
   When installing on Debian 12, this command will look like this: Code Block language bash echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

5. Update the current package list including the Docker packages from the added repository:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo apt update

6. Make sure the installation is performed from the Docker repository:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   apt-cache policy docker-ce

   Response example:

   Code Block
   language bash
   docker-ce: Installed: (none) Candidate: 18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu Version table: 18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu 500 500 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 Packages

7. Install the Docker:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo apt install docker-ce

   
   

   Info
   title Note
   When installing on Debian 12, this command will look like this: Code Block language bash sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

8. Make sure the Docker is running:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo systemctl status docker

   The response must contain the active (running) status:

   Code Block
   language bash
   docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-07-05 15:08:39 UTC; 2min 55s ago Docs: https://docs.docker.com Main PID: 10096 (dockerd) Tasks: 16 CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service ├─10096 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// └─10113 docker-containerd --config /var/run/docker/containerd/containerd.toml

AxxonData installation

To install AxxonData, do the following:

1. Download the distribution archive from the AxxonSoft website and unpack it into any folder.

2. The default access protocol is HTTPS that requires manual installation of certificates on client AxxonData computers. If it is necessary to switch to HTTP, run the following command:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTP

   HTTP is an insecure protocol that does not require a certificate to be installed. To switch back to HTTPS, run the following command:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTPS

3. In the terminal, run the command to grant the execution permissions to the scripts (load.sh, once.sh, run.sh, stop.sh).

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo chmod +x *.sh

4. Run the once.sh script.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./once.sh

5. Run the load.sh script.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./load.sh

6. Create the Docker services.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./run.sh

7. Check the services status.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo docker service ls

   In the REPLICAS column, all values must be displayed as 1/1.
   

8. Change the name of the vmscloud.local domain in the /etc/hosts file.

9. Install the root certificate. The certificate must be in PEM format with a .crt extension.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra sudo cp rootCA.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/rootCA.crt sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

   If you use Firefox, then you must add the rootCA certificate to the Firefox Certificates yourself.

10. Change the AxxonData address in the Axxon One configuration:

    1. Stop the Server.
    2. In the infra.dictionar file, replace the address of the CLOUD_URL parameter with vmscloud.local. If the Axxon One Server is installed in Linux OS, the file will be located in the /opt/AxxonSoft/AxxonOne/Dictionary.local directory. If Axxon One Server is installed in Windows OS, the file will be located in the C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\AxxonOne\Dictionary.local directory. 
       
    3. Start the Server.
11. On the Axxon One Server, enter the address of the computer on which AxxonData is installed in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc or /etc/hosts). For example, 192.168.11.12 vmscloud.local. If AxxonData is installed on the same computer with the Axxon One Server, you can skip this step.

Installation of AxxonData is complete.

AxxonData will be available at:

By default, two test users are available:

1. USER NAME—Admin1, PASSWORD—admin1password.
2. USER NAME—Admin2, PASSWORD—admin2password. 

These users can create other users, including the administrators. Names of users are case insensitive.

Configuring the SMTP server

To send email notifications, you must specify the parameters of the SMTP server. If you don't want to send notifications, you can skip this step. To set up an SMTP server, do the following:

1. Stop AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./stop.sh

2. In the cloud.env file, specify the values of the variables:
   
   1. AXXONCLOUD_EMAIL_TYPE—type of the Server.
   2. AXXONCLOUD_SMTP_SERVER—address of the SMTP server for outgoing mail.
   3. AXXONCLOUD_SMTP_PORT—port number used by the SMTP server for outgoing mail.
   4. AXXONCLOUD_SMTP_USERNAME—full email of the account used to send messages on the SMTP server for outgoing mail.
   5. AXXONCLOUD_SMTP_PASSWORD—16-character code without spaces generated when configuring the SMTP server for outgoing mail.
3. Load changes:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./load.sh

4. Run AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./run.sh

Configuration of the SMTP server is complete.

Updating the data communication protocol on the previously installed AxxonData

To change the data communication protocol on a previously installed AxxonData, do the following:

1. Stop AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./stop.sh

2. Change the protocol:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTP - change https to http sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTPS - change http to https

3. Load the changes:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./load.sh

4. Run AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./run.sh

5. Check the availability of AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo docker service ls

In the REPLICAS column, all values must be displayed as 1/1.

The data communication protocol on the previously installed AxxonData is updated.

Updating AxxonData

To update AxxonData, do the following:

1. Stop AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./stop.sh

2. Move the uploads folder to the folder with the new version of AxxonData:
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   The uploads folder is located in the /opt/AxxonData/uploads/ folder. In AxxonData 3.9 and earlier, the folder is located in the root directory.

3. In the terminal, run the command to grant the execution permissions to the scripts (load.sh, once.sh, run.sh, stop.sh) in the folder with the new AxxonData version:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo chmod +x *.sh

4. Load changes:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./load.sh

5. If you configured an SMTP server, you must update the variable data in the cloud.env file (seeConfiguring the SMTP server).
6. Update the data communication protocol (see Updating the data communication protocol on the previously installed AxxonData). 
7. Start AxxonData:
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo ./run.sh

AxxonData update is complete.
