Summary

The Ubersmith Installer is a command line utility that allows a system administrator to install (or upgrade) Ubersmith on a supported platform without assistance from Ubersmith Support. This can be useful when access to the Ubersmith environment is restricted, or for provisioning development/testing environments. The installer can be used to install both the Ubersmith Core (frontend) software as well as the Ubersmith Appliance.

...

Ensure that your host has been updated to the latest available packages as well as the latest Linux kernel. If necessary, reboot to ensure that the system is running the latest kernel.

Install Dependencies

The installation process will fail without these dependencies:

CentOS 

sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel epel-release git

Once EPEL is configured, run:

sudo yum install python-pip

sudo dnf remove buildah podman
sudo dnf install gcc libffi-devel python3-devel openssl-devel git
sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/bin/pip3.6 1

Debian / Ubuntu LTS

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip git
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/bin/pip3 1

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip git
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/bin/pip3 1

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip git
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.8 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/bin/pip3 1

Install Docker

The Ubersmith Installer requires that Docker, as well as some additional dependencies be installed prior to installing Ubersmith. The script located at:

...

can be helpful when installing Docker. Ensure that Docker is configured to start on boot; in many cases it may not be. Depending on the operating system used, you may be able to enable the docker service with:

# systemctl enable docker

Ensure that Docker is up and running:

# service docker start

The installation process will fail without these dependencies.

CentOS 7

$ sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel epel-release

Once EPEL is configured, run:

$ sudo yum install python-pip

Debian 8 / Ubuntu LTS

Clone the Repository or Download a Release

On the host Ubersmith is to be installed on, clone the ubersmith_installer repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/TeamUbersmith/ubersmith_installer.git

...

As root, run ./install_ubersmith.sh to install Ubersmith Core or ./install_appliance.sh to install the Ubersmith Appliance. Ensure the path you choose can be written to by the user running the installation script, and that the user is a member of the docker group.

Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Checking for pip...
Installing Ansible...
Installing Ubersmith...
Choose an installation directory for Ubersmith [/usr/local/ubersmith]:
Enter the addresshostname where you will be hosting Ubersmith [ubersmith.example.com]: 
Enter the email address of the Ubersmith administrator [admin@example.org]:

At this point the installer will begin, and will create the directory structure and supporting files to bring Ubersmith online.

Ubersmith Core and Ubersmith Appliance should not be deployed to the same host.

Configure

Ubersmith is now listening for HTTPS connections; to load the Ubersmith installation wizard go to the address of IP of your Ubersmith host in your web browser, for example:

https://10.0.0.1Walk

or, if you have a DNS record created, use that name directly:

https://ubersmith.example.com

Ensure you are connecting via HTTPS, and walk through the steps of the Ubersmith Setup Wizard.

Search

When configuring the Solr search engine, use the values:

• ServerHost: ubersmith_solr_1
• Port: 8983
• Path: /solr/collection1

License

When prompted for license details, enter the licensing username and password provided to you by Ubersmith Support. If you do not have licensing details, please contact Ubersmith Support for assistance.

At the end of the Setup Wizard, you will be prompted to delete the setup directory. The command provided does not account for the Ubersmith webroot being located in a container, so run the following command insteadChange to the directory you deployed Ubersmith to (by default /usr/local/ubersmith) and run:

# docker-compose exec ubersmith_web_1 rm -rf /var/www/ubersmith_root/app/www/setup

With the /setup directory removed, the Ubersmith web user interface will now load, and the login page will appear. Log in with the username and password created during the installation process.

Upgrade

Before upgrading, be sure to back up your Ubersmith database.

Before upgrading, make sure you have the latest version of the installation / upgrade utility.

Clone the Repository or Download a Release

On the host Ubersmith is to be installed on, clone the ubersmith_installer repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/TeamUbersmith/ubersmith_installer.git

...

As root, run configure.sh to configure the location of your existing Ubersmith installation, as well as your Ubersmith URL/address, and an email address associated with the Ubersmith administrator. Follow the steps to configure your environment:

$ ./configure.sh               
Configuring the Ubersmith installer for an existing installation...
Current path in use by Ubersmith / Appliance [/usr/local/ubersmith]:
Enter the address in use by Ubersmith / Appliance [ubersmith.example.com]: ubersmith.mydomain.com
Enter the email address of the Ubersmith administrator [admin@example.org]: jsmith@mydomain.com

[ output follows ]

localhost                  : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0   

This step creates the file .ubersmith_installer.ini in the home directory of the user running the configuration utility.

To upgrade Ubersmith, run the ./upgrade_ubersmith.sh script. The upgrade process will complete automatically.

Troubleshooting

• When running CentOS, if the installer is unable to install pip, you may need to enable the EPEL yum repository.

• Do not install the OS provided `pip` packages for Ubuntu and Debian as the version of `pip` provided is older and has difficulty installing the dependencies for the Ubersmith installer. python-setuptools will install the easy_install utility, which will allow the installer to install a more contemporary version of pip.
