Installation on the remote computers (Linux)
Remote installation is available via the web interface of the Global Settings (menu item "Client part" - "Client part installer (Linux/Mac)")
Linux: The remote computer(s) must have an OpenSSH server installed and configured beforehand, and you must also know the administrator's password on the remote PCs or have an SSH-key.
The "Download Client" tab offers to download the client part for the required OS.
Note: for MacOS only manual (local) installation is possible.
The "Linux: installation via script" tab offers to download the deploy_client.sh script for remote installation via the command line.
First, you need to add the file attribute to allow execution (chmod +x deploy_client.sh) and then run the script with the --help parameter to get help on how to use it.
This script can be used independently in any automation processes.
At the "Linux: web-installation" tab, you can install client remotely on a group of computers via an intuitive interface.
Attention! Remote installation at this tab will only work if the complex server is installed on Linux OS!
Upload client installation package
You need to attach the downloaded client package file for installation/update on remote client machines.
If you do not attach it, then the script will only update the address of the server of the complex without installing/updating the client itself.
IP-addresses/ranges/DNS-names of client machines
You have to specify a list of remote machines to install.
Attention! Each entry must start on a new line!
The entry can be:
- DNS-name: pc-001.domain.local
- IPv4-address: 192.168.0.10
- IPv6-address: [2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334]
- IPv4 range: 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.20
- IPv4 subnet: 192.168.1.0/24
ssh-port
TCP-port of SSH-server on remote machines.
Complex server (for clients connection)
Specify which server clients will connect to (DNS name/IP). Optionally, you can specify the port via a colon, and the secondary server via a comma.
String format: primary[:port][,secondary[:port]]
Attention! If the client is already installed, this parameter will also change server on the client to connect to!
Connection test
A simple TCP connection is made to the server for testing. It should also be noted that the connection is made from the machine where the web server is installed!
Administrator login on client machines
Specify the login of the superuser ("root") or administrator (with sudo rights) on whose behalf the package will be installed on the client.
Administrator password or ssh-key
Specify one of them, depending on the ssh server settings on the clients.
Attention! ssh-key is supported only if administrator login is specified as "root"!
Max connection timeout (in seconds)
Wait for connection to remote machine no more than (seconds).
