Installing JetProxy (Ubuntu 16/18/20)

Do NOT run the following installations and/or JetProxy script in JetPatch Server Manager

Nginx Installation 

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

JetProxy Application Configuration

Download the attached shell script according to the operating system you are using: 

intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh = for Ubuntu machines (attached at the bottom of the article)

You can use 'wget' command to directly download the file to the machine, or copy the script manually.

wget https://kc.jetpatch.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/360091693531/intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh

Below command need to be executed using sudoer privilege.:

Change the permission of the script:

chmod +x intigua-proxy-setup-script*

Use the PROXY server for JetPatch only:

For Ubuntu machines:
./intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh <JetPatch-Server-IP-OR- Hostname>

Example: ./intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh 10.10.10.10

In case you would like to use the PROXY server for JetPatch and WSUS (optional):

For Ubuntu machines:
./intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh <JetPatch-Server-IP-OR- Hostname> <WSUS-Server-IP-OR-Hostname>

# Example: ./intigua-proxy-setup-script-ubuntu.sh 10.10.10.10 20.20.20.20

NGINIX Troubleshooting: If case NGINIX does not start, run the following:

systemctl stop nginx
rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/intigua.conf
systemctl start nginx

Validate JetProxy Is Working 

To check if the JetProxy is working, just open a browser application (Chrome, Safari) and try to reach 

https://<YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS>/vmanage-server

You should redirect to the JetPatch login screen.

To check if the JetProxy is also redirecting the WSUS:

http://<YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS>:8530 
or
https://<YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS>:8531

Note - In case it is not happening, check for firewall rules configuration on the JetProxy to enable incoming http/https communication.

Firewall Rules Configuration

Using Proxy for JetPatch only

Ubuntu:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload

Using Proxy also for WSUS server:

Ubuntu:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8530/tcp –permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8531/tcp –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload

Creating a JetProxy Management Service

The default, the built-in management service for the JetPatch connector is not aware of the JetProxy address. Thus, you will need to create a new one for the endpoints that will be using the JetProxy address as their primary URL.

This is also important for connector upgrades.

Additional Configuration for High Scale Environments

In high scale environments (>500 Endpoints) the following steps are required: 

1. Append/modify fs.file-max = 70000  to  /etc/sysctl.conf file
2. Add/modify the following lines in /etc/security/limits.conf
   • nginx       soft    nofile   10000
   • nginx       hard    nofile  30000
3. Reload changes by sysctl -p
4. In the top of the nginx.conf file (may be located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf) add worker_rlimit_nofile 30000;  and change the line worker_connections to 30000.
5. Reload changes:

 nginx -t && nginx -s reload
