Installing for demo
For demonstration purposes, you can deploy KUMA components on a single server.
The server where the installer is run cannot have the name localhost or localhost.<domain>. The installer can run from any folder, but the RPM packages must be located in the same folder as the kuma-installer file. You can get more information about kuma-installer by running it with the --help parameter.
Before deploying the program, make sure that the servers where you intend to install the components meet the hardware and software requirements.
KUMA components are addressed using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the host. Before you install the program, you must ensure that the command hostnamectl status returns the true name of the host FQDN in the Static hostname field.
It is recommended to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time between servers with KUMA services.
The KUMA installation takes place over several stages:
- Preparing the source machine
The source machine is used during the program installation process: the installer files are unpacked and run on it.
- Preparing the target machine
The program components are installed on the target machines. The source machine can be used as a target one.
- Preparing an inventory file for demonstration installation
Create an inventory file describing the network structure of the program components that the installer can use to deploy KUMA.
- Installing the program for demonstration purposes
Install the program and get the URL and login credentials for the web interface.
If necessary, the program installed for demonstration purposes can be distributed to different servers for full-fledged operation.
