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:
Make sure all the necessary ports are open to allow KUMA components to interact with each other based on your organization's security structure.
The source machine is used during the program installation process: the installer files are unpacked and run on it.
The program components are installed on the target machines.
Create an inventory file describing the network structure of the program components that the installer can use to deploy KUMA.
Install the program and get the URL and login credentials for the web interface.
Create services in the KUMA web interface and install them on the target machines intended for them.
