2 In this microlearning, we will focus on how the installation requirements for on-premises deployments of eMagiz runtimes that are part of the new runtime architecture. The new runtime architecture uses a containerized approach to deploy runtimes.

5
6 == 1. Prerequisites ==
7
8 * Advanced knowledge of the eMagiz platform
9 * Good understanding of eMagiz runtimes in general
10
11 == 2. Key concepts ==
12 In the new runtime architecture of eMagiz, Docker technology is used to deploy runtimes. eMagiz creates specific runtime images that contain the eMagiz runtime, and can be deployed in dockerized envirionments

16 ===3.1 Installation requirements Linux===
17
18 These are the requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
19 * Ensure access to the following URLs is enabled
20 ** registry.emagiz.com
21 ** testing.emagiz.com
22 ** Preferably the entry should be *.emagiz.com
23 * Install latest version of Docker
24

27 These are the requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
28 * Ensure access to the following URLs is enabled
29 ** registry.emagiz.com
30 ** testing.emagiz.com
31 ** Preferably the entry should be *.emagiz.com
32 * Install latest version of Docker
33 * Validate if WSL 2.0 is properly installed
34
35 ===3.3 Installation requirements Windows Server 2019 version 1806===
36
37 These are the requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
38
39 * Ensure access to the following URLs is enabled
40 ** registry.emagiz.com
41 ** testing.emagiz.com
42 ** Preferably the entry should be *.emagiz.com
43 * Enable Hyper-V in Windows Server
44 ** Go to Server Manager, Manage (top right), enable roles and features, select the desired roles and server selections. In the Features section, enable Hyper-V.
45 ** Restart windows
46 * Install Docker Desktop on the Windows Server
47 ** Please refer to this link: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
48 ** Restart windows
49 * Update Docker desktop configuration
50 ** Go to settings, and enable ‘Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375’ without TLS
51 ** Restart Docker
52 * Open Powershell as Administrator
53 ** Execute "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchLinuxEngine
54 ** Execute Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
55 ** Execute curl.exe -L -o ubuntu-2004.appx https://aka.ms/wslubuntu2004
56 ** Execute Add-AppxPackage .\ubuntu-2004.appx
57 *** If errors occur, please consult https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server. Rename the file to a zip, expand it, and add it to the path variable.
58 * Ubuntu should now be a runnable program (press windows key, type ubuntu)
59 * Open the ubuntu terminal, and finish the installation.
60 ** After installation, execute: export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375
61
62 ===3.4 Installation requirements Windows Server 2012 R2 ===
63
64 These are the requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
65 * Ensure access to the following URLs is enabled
66 ** registry.emagiz.com
67 ** testing.emagiz.com
68 ** Preferably the entry should be *.emagiz.com
69 * Install & enable Hyper-V in Windows Server
70 ** Go to Server Manager, Manage (top right), enable roles and features, select the desired roles and server selections. In the Features section, enable Hyper-V.
71 ** Restart windows
72 * Download a ubuntu server 18.04 (https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.6-live-server-amd64.iso )
73 * Create a VM in HyperV.
74 ** For this, choose Generation 1, the amount of memory you want to assign to ubuntu and thus to the containers. Please consider the overhead for memory as well (such as OS).
75 ** Configure a virtual switch. Add a virtual Hard Disk with proper sizing (e.g. 30 GB), install an operating system from bootable CD/DVD, ISO file
76 * Install ubuntu downloaded previously on the VM
77 * Install docker as per official ubuntu documentation (See https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository) on the VM

79 === 3.5 Installation agent ===
80
81 eMagiz needs to install a specific agent in the Docker instance that allows to download runtime images that needs to be installed on the Docker instance. The specific command to run inside the Docker instance is specific for the machine that is configured inside eMagiz Design & Deploy Architectures. It can be found inside the eMagiz iPaaS portal or is available upon request. Once that agent is installed, the image that is generated for every eMagiz release can be downloaded and installed in the Docker instance.

93 == 5. Key takeaways ==
94
95 * eMagiz uses runtime images to deploy emagiz runtime on dockerized environments. The runtime image holds all the information and components required to run the runtime
96 * eMagiz has a specific agent that manages the download of that image to the on-premises server
97 * The firewall of the on-premises environment should allow outgoing traffic without any restriction. In case that is not desirable, eMagiz can provide the addresses and ports needed to setup the right firewall rules.
