System Architecture Overview
Kiuwan On-Premises (KOP) is based on a client-server architecture with the following major server components:
...
KOP also supports distributed architecture with high-availability and load-balancing. For these scenarios, please contact Kiuwan support.
Server Host Requirements
Kiuwan On-Premises (KOP) solution is deployed on a centralized server host (all the components are installed in the same host) and accessed by users via HTTP or by IDE plugins (Eclipse, Visual Studio).
...
- In case you need a higher number of parallel analyses executions, you should add 1 CPU core and 512 Mb for any additional required parallel analysis
- In case you need to improve response time to web users, conside to add 1Gb for every 50 additional web users.
Installation steps
Before installing KOP, make sure that you understand the System Architecture Overview, that your server host(s) complies with the Server Host Requirements, and that you have properly prepared the Environment as follows:

Installation requirements:
Installation Steps:
|
Step 1. Unpackage KOP Installation Package
| Info |
|---|
KOP Installation Package consists on a tarball gz file (vX.Y.tar.gz) containing all the kiuwan docker files.
KOP Licenses are distributed through two license distribution zipfiles:
To install the licences:
|
Step 2. Configure Kiuwan Docker image
| Info |
|---|
After unpackaging, you should configure the docker image to be built. Configuration of Kiuwan docker image is currently done by creating a configuration file (settings.custom) that will be used during the image building process. There's a file (settings.tpl) you can use as a template to configure your own settings.
|
...
You can visit Advanced Configuration for additional configuration parameters.
Step 3. Build the Kiuwan Docker image
| Info |
|---|
After configuration, you will build the Kiuwan docker image.
IMPORTANT: Please be sure you have already installed KOP licenses, otherwise the docker image will not be built !!
To build the docker image: cd $KOP_INSTDIR/vX.Y ./create_and_init_kop.sh
This step requires Internet connectivity. If your installation uses an proxy, you should have previolsy configured the proxy settings.
In case you need to execute the Kiuwan container in a host server without Internet connectivity:
|
...
After image creation, you will be able to list the images in your docker server and identify your kiuwan image by issuing the next command:
docker images
Step 3.1 (Optional) Moving the image to another server host
After creating the image, if you want to move it to another host server you first must save it to a tarball by executing:
...
docker load --input kop_v12_saved_image.tar
Step 3.2 Execution in debug mode (only sshd)
Just in case you are running with problems while executing Kiuwan container, you can run it in debug mode.
...
| Info |
|---|
After the container is built, you can execute (run) the Kiuwan container in debug mode by issuing the following command:
docker run --rm --name <my_container_name> \ -h <my_container_host_name> \ -v <server_host_mount_dir:container_mount_dir> \ -p <ssh_port_ext>:22 \ -d \ <image_name:version> |
Step 4. Accessing Kiuwan On Premise
| Info |
|---|
Once Kiuwan On Premise container is running, you can access it from a browser in the following URL: http://<$KIUWAN_HOST>:<$KIUWAN_PORT>/saas where KIUWAN_HOST and KIUWAN_PORT match the values of those properties as configured in Dockerfile |
Advanced Configuration
As above specified, settings.custom file allows you to specify most (but not all) configuration parameters.
