Installing the SmartPlayer Platform on Ubuntu / Astra Operating Systems Using a RUN Script

Description

A RUN script is generated by default for installing and updating the server application.
The script automatically performs all stages of installation or update of the server application. Simply download the script to the server, grant execution permissions, and run it.

wget https://jenkins_dists_first_install_platform.hb.bizmrg.com/sp_docker_installation_first_time_*.run
chmod +x sp_docker_installation_first_time_*.run
./sp_docker_installation_first_time_*.run

Before installation, the script performs diagnostics and displays warnings if the system does not meet the requirements. Some warnings can be ignored, but in that case there is no guarantee that the application will operate stably.

Example of diagnostics performed by the script

Installation

The installation package must be requested from the SmartPlayer technical support team.

During a standard launch, no additional actions are required. The archive will automatically unpack itself and install the server application. At the end of the installation process, the system will display a login and a generated password for the personal account. These credentials must be saved or recorded. They are not stored anywhere else, and the user will not be able to retrieve them again.

Since Docker is installed during the process, the installation must be performed under the root user.

SSL Certificate

When using https, a temporary ssl certificate is generated automatically. The certificate chain (ssl.crt) and private key (ssl_private.key) must be replaced in the following directory:

/home/smartplayer/smartplayer/ssl

After that, restart the smartplayer-nginx-gateway-1 container using the following command:

docker restart smartplayer-nginx-gateway-1

Update

The update package must be requested from the SmartPlayer technical support team.

When updating, the server application must be running because the script automatically locates the installation directory using active Docker containers. If this cannot be done for any reason, the directory must be specified manually.

The update process includes:

• creating a MySQL dump;
• updating Docker configurations;
• downloading new images;
• database migration;
• widget deployment.
