Installing JetPatch Overview

See article

Network Port Requirements

PostgreSQL

Port 5432 needs to be open so that the JetPatch server can connect to it (or this may be changed to your preference).

JetPatch Server

The JetPatch server itself should either have internet access or access to a local repo. Port 443 should be opened for the UI and also for access by managed servers. When managed servers cannot find the JetPatch server at port 443, communication will be attempted using other methods as described above.

Pre-Installation Configuration

Note: these steps assume that this server has internet access (at least initially to install Nginx, PostgreSQL, and JDK/OpenJDK).

Also, disable IPV6 on the JetPatch manager console server

Configure a server hostname (see article)

Installation Process

JetPatch Application Installation

Review Software Requirements (for supported JetPatch OS)

The default installation mount point is /usr/share (cannot be customized)

Prerequisites (internet access recommended):

• Minimum NGINX 1.26.X (latest stable version supported)
• Oracle JDK 11 or OpenJDK 11
• Python3

You can use Yum to install all of these except Oracle JDK. The RPM package for Oracle JDK for Java 11 can be downloaded from the Oracle Java SE website.  Alternatively, all prerequisites can also be downloaded from here.

To install Controller on a new server:

1. Install all dependencies:

• Java 11 (minimum minor version of 09+). Once downloaded, install: Once downloaded, install:

  rpm -i <package>

• • NGINX - Create the following file:

    /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

    Copy the following in the file, and save it:

    [nginx-stable]
    name=nginx stable repo
    baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
    module_hotfixes=true
    
    [nginx-mainline]
    name=nginx mainline repo
    baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=0
    gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
    module_hotfixes=true

               Note: This repository will always look for stable version of Nginx 

•  
  •  

    • Run:

      yum install nginx

      When NGINX installation is complete, delete the following file (its settings will conflict with those defined by the RPMs):

      /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Install JetPatch RPMs

Before installing the JetPatch RPMs, verify that the patch is installed:

 yum install patch

JetPatch installation includes the following RPMs:

1. intigua-server-base
2. intigua-server
3. intigua-connector-<version>
4. intigua-connector-runtime
5. intigua-nginx
6. intigua-web
7. intigua-python-client 

Run the following commands, in order:

rpm -ivh intigua-server-base*.rpm
rpm -ivh intigua-server*.rpm
rpm -ivh intigua-connector*.rpm
rpm -ivh intigua-nginx*.rpm
rpm -ivh intigua-web*.rpm
rpm -ivh intigua-python-client*.rpm

rpm -qa | grep intigua

Hostname or IP address must be properly configured.
Before proceeding, please fix this and test your fix by running '/bin/hostname -f'.

Notes:

• The application will take up about ~2GB
• If you would like to install each RPM separately skip the 'intigua-connector-runtime' installation. 

systemctl enable nginx
systemctl enable tomcat

systemctl start chronyd
systemctl enable chronyd

PostgreSQL Installation

Review PostgreSQL Version Support Table. Amazon RDS and Aurora for Postgres is also OK.

There are two ways for a simple PostgreSQL installation:

• Using RPMs
• Using Yum (EL8 Example Only)

JetPatch Application Configuration

Prior 5.0:

1. Make sure permissions of /usr/share/tomcat/default/conf are all tomcat:tomcat (chown -R tomcat:tomcat)
2. Modify the JetPatch  server configuration in /usr/share/tomcat/default/conf/intigua.properties to configure the connection to the PostgreSQL server:

Post 5.0:

1.  
   1. Modify the JetPatch  server configuration in /usr/share/intigua/services/data/intigua-main/conf/intigua.properties to configure the connection to the PostgreSQL server:

db.databasePlatform=org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.PostgreSQLPlatform
db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:postgresql://<db_hostname_or_ip>:5432/<db_name>
db.username=<db_username>
db.password=<db_password>
db.showSQL=false 

NOTE1: If DB is installed on the same server as JetPatch, use localhost instead.

NOTE2: If using a service account, make sure it has access to the postgresql database (psql -h <db_hostname> -p 5432 -U <db_username> <db_name>)

db.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/<db_name>

       3. Restart Tomcat For versions prior to 5.0.

service tomcat restart

restart intigua-main for Post 5.0

docker restart intigua-main

Login to the JetPatch Console

via Chrome or Firefox browser using https://<DNS Name>/

Note 1: If there is an issue, please review proxy settings.
Note 2: If you have your own certificate, see this article.
