eMagiz 1.1 4 Should you have any questions, please contact [[academy@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
5
6 == 1. Prerequisites ==
7
8 * Advanced knowledge of the eMagiz platform
eMagiz 3.1 9 * Good understanding of eMagiz runtimes in general
eMagiz 1.1 10
11 == 2. Key concepts ==
eMagiz 25.1 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 environments.
eMagiz 3.1 13
eMagiz 70.1 14 In the below section the Windows and Linux variants are described in terms of how to prepare the server to allow the eMagiz Deploy agent to be installed. That agent allows to download images from the eMagiz infrastructure.
eMagiz 21.1 15
eMagiz 3.1 16 == 3. On-premises deployments ==
eMagiz 25.1 17
18 ===3.1 General requirements===
19 These are the general requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
eMagiz 17.1 20 * Ensure access to the following URLs is enabled
eMagiz 33.1 21 ** registry.emagiz.com:8443
eMagiz 34.1 22 ** controlplane.emagiz.com:8000
eMagiz 17.1 23 ** Preferably the entry should be *.emagiz.com
eMagiz 31.1 24
eMagiz 25.1 25 ===3.2 Installation requirements Linux===
eMagiz 63.1 26 Whenever Linux is selected as operating system, the latest version of Ubuntu will work. Other Linux distributions will also work such as Debian or Red Hat.
27 **Step 1: Install linux distribution**
28 Follow all steps in section 3.4
eMagiz 1.1 29
eMagiz 63.1 30 **Step 2: Install eMagiz Deploy Agent**
eMagiz 68.1 31 Install the eMagiz Deploy agent as can be found [[on this link>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/eMagiz%20Academy/Microlearnings/Intermediate%20Level/eMagiz%20Runtime%20Management/intermediate-runtime-management-deploy-agent/||target="_blank"]]

eMagiz 62.1 33 ===3.3 Installation requirements Windows Server 2022 ===
eMagiz 18.1 34
eMagiz 59.1 35 {{info}}Please note that this section also applies to Windows Server 2019 version >1806{{/info}}
36
eMagiz 58.1 37 The steps below will install a linux subsystem under Windows. In that Linux system, Docker and Java will be installed. Please note that the Windows server needs to be able to run Virtualized (either via BIOS setting or via Nested Virtualization).
38
eMagiz 44.1 39 **Step 1: Install linux distribution**
eMagiz 46.1 40
eMagiz 42.1 41 {{code language="cmd"}}
eMagiz 47.1 42 wsl --install -d Ubuntu
eMagiz 45.1 43 sudo apt-get update
44 sudo apt install --no-install-recommends apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2
45 . /etc/os-release
eMagiz 43.1 46 {{/code}}
eMagiz 44.1 47
eMagiz 62.1 48 **Step 2: Configure linux system**
49 Please see section 3.4 for these these steps
50
51 **Step 3: Update wsl config file **
52 In this step we need to add or update the WSL config file that manages the resources of the Linux subsystem. Important resources to manage are the assigned memory and number of processors. For memory we recommend to review the mempory settings for the runtime that need to run on this server and add 762 MB to the total value of the heap and non-heap of these runtimes. For processor we recommend to set the value to 2 - depending on the amount of processors available on that machine
eMagiz 44.1 53
eMagiz 62.1 54 First, locate the config file or add it to the location %USERPROFILE%. The name should be .wslconfig (no extension)
eMagiz 47.1 55
eMagiz 45.1 56 {{code language="cmd"}}
eMagiz 62.1 57 #Add following lines
58
59 # Settings apply across all Linux distros running on WSL 2
60 [wsl2]
61 # Limits VM memory to use no more than 4 GB, this can be set as whole numbers using GB or MB
62 memory=16GB
63 # Sets the VM to use two virtual processors
64 processors=2
65 {{/code}}
66
67
68 **Step 4: Auto start the linux subsystem when Windows server restarts **
69
eMagiz 71.1 70 wsl sudo /usr/bin/dockerd
71
eMagiz 63.1 72 **Step 5: Install eMagiz Deploy Agent**
eMagiz 68.1 73 Install the eMagiz Deploy agent as can be found [[on this link>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/eMagiz%20Academy/Microlearnings/Intermediate%20Level/eMagiz%20Runtime%20Management/intermediate-runtime-management-deploy-agent/||target="_blank"]]

eMagiz 18.1 160 These are the requirements to allow the installation of the eMagiz Docker agent:
161 * Install & enable Hyper-V in Windows Server
162 ** 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.
163 ** Restart windows

165 * Create a VM in HyperV.
166 ** 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).
eMagiz 19.1 167 ** Configure a virtual switch.

eMagiz 1.1 179
180 == 5. Key takeaways ==
181
eMagiz 5.1 182 * 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
183 * eMagiz has a specific agent that manages the download of that image to the on-premises server
Erik Bakker 40.1 184 * 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.
