Revision as of 12:25, 29 October 2020

This Tutorial is about how to install the openQRM Datacentre Management and Cloud Computing platform on Debian. It is the starting point for a set of openQRM HowTos explaining different Use-cases with the focus on virtualization, automation and cloud computing.

Requirements

  • One physical Server. Alternatively the installation can be also done within a Virtual Machine
  • At least 1 GB of Memory
  • at least 100 GB of Diskspace
  • Optional VT for Intel CPUs or AMD-V for AMD CPUs (Virtualization Technology) enabled in the Systems BIOS so that the openQRM Server can run Virtual Machines later

Install Debian Wheezy

  1. Install a minimal Debian on a physical Server. During the installation select 'manual network' configuration and provide a static IP address. In this tutorial we will use 192.168.178.5/255.255.255.0 as the IP configuration for the openQRM Server system.
  2. In the partitioning setup, select 'manual' and create one partition for the root-filesystem, one as swap space plus a dedicated partition to be used as storage space for the Virtual Machines later. In the configuration of the dedicated storage partition select 'do not use'.
  3. In the software selection dialog select just 'SSH-Server'
  4. After the installation finished please login to the system and update its packaging system as 'root':

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

NOTE

In the recent Debian updates, the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini configuration directive "disable_functions" changed and includes now a bunch of functions disabled by default.

  1. Open /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini in your favourite editor and search for "disable_functions".
  2. Then remove ALL functions from the "disable_functions" PHP configuration parameter for Apache.

It should look like this:

disable_functions = ""

Then restart Apache by

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Install openQRM

Purchase and download openQRM

openQRM is available from openQRM Enterprise at

http://www.openqrm-enterprise.com/

You can also use the instructions below to install openQRM from the source repository or by packages.

The installation procedure for openQRM is straight forward.

  1. Unpack the openqrm-enterprise.tar.gz file:

tar -xvzf openqrm-enterprise.tar.gz

2. Then run as 'root'

cd openqrm-enterprise ./install-openqrm.sh

During the installation please confirm the following warning from the libphp-adodb package.

Warning from libphp-adodb package

Make sure to set a password for the mysql-server and nagios3 package.

Setting a password

The installation also asks for the mail-configuration. If unsure please select "local only" and go on with the suggested system name.

Mail-Configuration

The last step of the installation provides you with the URL, username and password to login to the openQRM Server

openQRM login credentials

Installation from the latest source code

openQRM is designed to install and update easily directly from its source repository. To install openQRM please login to the fresh installed Debian system and run the following commands as 'root':

apt-get install make subversion

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/openqrm/code/trunk openqrm

cd openqrm/src && make && make install && make start

To update openQRM at any time run:

cd openqrm/src && svn up && make update

Installation by packages

To install openQRM by distribution packages please request the package installation from openQRM Enterprise

Configure and initialize openQRM

After a successful installation the openQRM Server web interface is available at

http://static-ip-configured-during-the-Debian-installation/openqrm

If you have set the suggested IP address for this howto the openQRM URL will be

http://192.168.178.5/openqrm

Open this URL in your Web browser. Login with the username 'openqrm' and the password 'openqrm'. Then select the network interface to use for the openQRM management network

Network Interface selection screen
