Installing Your CodeLogic Server on RHEL

You must ensure that your system meets the specifications outlined in the CodeLogic Installation Requirements.

Note

Internet access is only needed for installation and upgrading. Once installed, the CodeLogic Server is the package repository for the Linux and Windows agents.

All sample output is for reference only, it may differ on your system.

An ellipsis (…) indicates omitted output.

Installing with the RedHat package manager tool

Before You Begin

If you do not have internet access, see Commands for the command to list the dependencies for the CodeLogic Server. You will need to have the listed dependencies installed before installing CodeLogic.

Install and Configure the Docker Engine

Note

If podman, podman-docker or buildah are installed, they must be removed.

Use dnf erase podman podmandocker buildah to remove them now. Or use dnf install --allowerasing codelogic to allow dnf to remove them when CodeLogic is installed.

Install the Docker Engine, version 20.10 or later, by following the instructions at: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/

Remove Old Versions

$ sudo yum remove docker \
docker-client \
docker-client-latest \
docker-common \
docker-latest \
docker-latest-logrotate \
docker-logrotate \
docker-engine \
podman \
runc

Configure the Docker engine to start on boot by following the instructions at: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#configure-docker-to-start-on-boot.

Configure Docker to start on boot

$ sudo systemctl enable docker.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multiuser.target.wants/docker.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service.

$ sudo systemctl enable containerd.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multiuser.target.wants/containerd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/containerd.service.

Install Docker Compose, version 1.29.2 or later, by following the instructions at: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-compose-on-linux-systems.

Install Docker Compose

$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

Verify Docker Compose Installation

$ docker-compose --version

Add the CodeLogic Repository to the Package Database

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo http://repo.codelogic.com/redhat/codelogic-server.repo

Sample output

$ sudo dnf config-manager \--add-repo http://repo.codelogic.com/redhat/codelogic-server.repo
Adding repo from: http://repo.codelogic.com/redhat/codelogic-server.repo

Install the CodeLogic Server
```
sudo dnf install --assumeyes codelogic
```
Run the Configure Script
- Run the following command:
```
sudo /opt/codelogic/pre_start_codelogic.sh
```
- The script will confirm the protocol (http or https), hostname or IP address, and create a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.
- If a signed certificate is available now, answer N to the Allow HTTP? question.
Note

A self-signed certificate will be created regardless of the answer. The answer to this question determines the protocol (http or https) used for the software repository.

For example, if http://myserver.com is entered, the package repositories will use http. If https://myserver.com is entered, the package repositories will use https.

See Install a signed TLS certificate on the server below for more information.
- Create a CodeLogic Administrator Account with an email address and password.
Note

The password must be between 8 and 256 characters in length (numbers, symbols, and mixed-case letters allowed).
Install a signed TLS certificate on the server
- The signed TLS certificate and key file names must be named codelogic.crt and codelogic.key.
- Copy the signed TLS certificate and key to /opt/codelogic/certs/ and restart the CodeLogic Server.
  Important
  
  The certificate must be signed by a certificate authority. Although a self-signed certificate allows access to the GUI, the agents will not accept a self-signed certificate. For more information, see Using Internally Generated Certificates.
  
  The self-signed certificate created by pre_start_codelogic.sh may be used for product evaluation.
```
sudo cp -p /path/to/signed/certificate.crt /opt/codelogic/certs/codelogic.crt
sudo cp -p /path/to/signed/certificate.key /opt/codelogic/certs/codelogic.key
sudo cp /path/to/your/root-or-intermediate-cert.crt /opt/codelogic/root_certs
sudo systemctl restart codelogic
```
Verify that the CodeLogic Server is Running

The server is controlled via standard Linux facilities. For example, to view the status, use the systemctl command. Root permission is not needed to view the status.

systemctl status codelogic

Log in to the Server
Log in to the CodeLogic Server with the CodeLogic Administrator Account you created above.
If a signed TLS certificate has been copied to /opt/codelogic/certs, use https to log in the server using the default credentials.

If “y” was the response to the “Allow HTTP?” question, use http.

URL (https): https://your_server/
URL (http):http://your_server/
Email:<email address>
Password:<password>

Note

You MUST replace your_server with the actual address of your CodeLogic Server.

Note

It may take 2-3 minutes after restarting CodeLogic before login is available.
