Proxy required software installation

The proxy server needs a minimal set of software to be installed before making possible the deployment to happen. These includes two main tools:

  • Docker
  • PosgreSQL client

Since the USIT machines are mostly running under RHEL, either yum or dnf package management systems should be used to install software (https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-packages-on-redhat-8).

For the Docker installation, it's difficult to describe the installation procedure here, because it's not set in stone and it updates with every new version of RHEL. So it's better to look for the most recent instructions every time before installing Docker. As of today, a quite comprehensive manual can be found, for example, here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-docker-in-rhel-8

The PostgreSQL client installation is rather simple, for example:

  • sudo yum install postgresql

or

  • sudo dnf install postgresql
