Installation manual Contents

Preparation

Now unzip the Cluebase VMS installer with the following command:

sudo unzip cluebase.zip

The above command creates a directory containing the installation files.

Go to CluebaseVMS directory:

cd CluebaseVMS

Now you have to provide permissions to the installation script (install.sh):

chmod +x install.sh

You are all set for the installation.

Manual installation

Installing Docker on Linux

Official Docker installation guide: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Preparation for manual VMS installation

You will need to edit the environment variable file, the .env file, to successfully install the VMS.

Please note that this file is hidden in the folder by default.

Open the .env file and specify the server's IP address in the following fields:

APP_HOST=0.0.0.0 (the server's public IP address) MACHINE_HOST=0.0.0.0 (local IP address of the server)

If the VMS should only be used in the local network, both IP addresses will be the same.

Using a custom port for the VMS

By default the VMS installs and runs on port 80. However you can configure a different port by amending the .env file.

Open the .env file and add NGINX_PORT variable and it's value (port number) as shown on the screenshot.
