Introduction

The Kiuwan On-Premises installer is a powerful tool that suits multiple environment scenarios:

  • Single-host fully contained installation.
  • Multi-host installation where infrastructure services are externalized.
  • Multi-host installation where Kiuwan services are distributed

...

  • .
  • Any combination of the two previous scenarios.

Depending on your needs, a different installation approach will be needed. Check this installation guide for details on how to proceed and to find the solution that best fits your requirements.

System requirements

Installation requirements

It is mandatory for any host where Kiuwan On-Premises is installed to meet these requirements:

  • Linux distribution
  • Linux kernel version 3.10 or higher
  • Connectivity to SMTP Mail Server.
  • Internet connectivity during the installation process (see Needed internet connections).

...

  • The installing user

...

  • can be a root user (or

...

  • with sudo privileges

...

  • ) or a non-root user. If you choose to install as a non-root user, some sections below need sudo privileges to create users, add namespace mapping, and make docker daemon changes.

  • When running the provided Redis Cluster containers (that is, if you are not externalizing the Redis service, see Externalizing Redis), it is recommended for the host machine to keep the same local IP address. If this is not acceptable for you, be aware that all containers should be restarted after an IP change (see My Kiuwan On-Premises local IP address has changed and Redis is not responding anymore).

These softwares are also needed:

These software are also needed:

  • Docker CE >= 19.03.2
  • Docker-compose >= 1.24.1
  • Unzip
  • GNU tar
  • Wget
  • BC
  • Tee
  • Ip
  • netstat

  • OpenSSL >= 1.1.1 (needed to generate certificates for custom hosts). Other supported versions of OpenSSL are 1.0.2g and 1.0.2k-fips.

...

It is also recommended to use the target installation hosts exclusively for Kiuwan services. If you plan on running other containers than Kiuwan's in a single-host installation, please make sure that:

  • None of them is using the following network: 172.172.0.0/16
  • There are not containers that may block any of these ports:
    • 80, 443: standard HTTP/HTTPS ports
    • 8143, 8243, 8343, 8443, 8543, 8643, 8743, 8843: ports that Kiuwan front instances listen to.
    • 6379: port that Redis instances listen to.
    • 3306: port that MySQL instance listen to.

Special requirements for RedHat, CentOS and Fedora

If your docker server is running on RedHat, CentOS or Fedora, be sure the filesystem where docker is installed supports d_type (the directory entry data structure that describes the information of a directory on the filesystem).

Some of the above operating systems are not configured with d_type support (see http://www.pimwiddershoven.nl/entry/docker-on-centos-7-machine-with-xfs-filesystem-can-cause-trouble-when-d-type-is-not-supported.

...

Warning
titleImportant

Kiuwan On-Premise does not install on Ubuntu 24.04. Work is under way to support this Ubuntu version.


Warning

Important recommendations to consider:

  • Make sure that the docker-compose command can be executed with sudo. This means that the docker-compose binary file must be included in the sudoers path. The binary is usually installed under the /usr/local/bin directory. Depending on your OS, this information may be set in the secure_path variable in the sudoers file (/etc/sudoers).
  • To download and install Docker Compose:

    Code Block
    curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname  -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

    Please check the official Docker-compose documentation for more information: https://docs.docker.com/

...

You can check if your existing XFS filesystem has d_type enabled by running the following commands:

Code Block
languagebash
$ docker info | grep "Supports d_type:"
Supports d_type: true

$ xfs_info /docker-mount-point | grep ftype
naming =version 2         bsize=4096      ascii-ci=0     ftype=1

In case you get d_type: false or ftype=0, you will need to create a new XFS filesystem with d_type support enabled. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to enable d_type support on an existing filesystem.

There are two options:

  • Add a new disk and create a new XFS partition on it.
  • Backup your existing data and recreate the XFS filesystem with d_type support enabled.

You can create a new XFS filesystem with d_type enabled by running the following command:

Code Block
languagebash
$ mkfs.xfs -n ftype=1 /mount-point

Needed internet connections

Please make sure your host machines have connection to these servers when installing Kiuwan On-Premises:

HostNeeded whenPurpose

*.docker.com (all subdomains of docker.com, including nested subdomains)

*.docker.io (all subdomains of docker.io)

InstallingThese are the Docker servers where the needed images will be pulled from.
static.kiuwan.comInstallingThis is Kiuwan's static content server, needed by the installer to download needed resources.
api.kiuwan.com

You own a Kiuwan On-Premises Insights license, both for installing and running

This is Kiuwan's central API endpoint, needed to update Insights vulnerabilities database.

Proxy configuration

If the host on which you are installing Kiuwan On-Premises needs to access the internet through a proxy server, note that:

  • Your OS should know about your proxy settings in order to be able to download the Kiuwan On-Premises installer distribution.
  • Docker daemon must know about your proxy settings in order to download images from https://hub.docker.com
  • Docker must know about your proxy settings in order to propagate them to the created containers.
  • Direct access to your SMPT mail server is needed (it is MANDATORY that the host machine can access your mail server regardless of the proxy server).

To instruct your OS to use your proxy settings, please refer to the official documentation of your Linux distribution.

To make Docker daemon use your proxy server, please follow the official Docker documentation on how to set a proxy:

...


It is also recommended to use the target installation hosts exclusively for Kiuwan services. If you plan on running other containers than Kiuwan's in a single-host installation, please make sure that:

  • None of them is using the following network: 172.172.0.0/16
  • There are no containers that may block any of these ports:
    • 443: standard HTTPS port (or the one you will configure to access your Kiuwan On-Premises installation).
    • 8143, 8243, 8343, 8443, 8543, 8643, 8743, 8843: ports that Kiuwan front instances listen to (or those you may configure for Kiuwan front instances).
    • 6379: port that Redis instances listen to.
    • 3306: port that MySQL instance listen to (or the port you configure for MySQL).
Info
The Kiuwan On-Premises installation tool will check most of these requisites before installing. If any of them is not met, installation will be canceled.

Special requirements for RedHat, CentOS, and Fedora

If your docker server is running on RedHat, CentOS or Fedora, be sure the filesystem where docker is installed supports d_type (the directory entry data structure that describes the information of a directory on the filesystem).

Some of the above operating systems are not configured with d_type support (see http://www.pimwiddershoven.nl/entry/docker-on-centos-7-machine-with-xfs-filesystem-can-cause-trouble-when-d-type-is-not-supported.

Running on XFS without d_type support causes Docker to skip the attempt to use the overlay or overlay2 driver. See https://docs.docker.com/storage/storagedriver/overlayfs-driver/#prerequisites.

You can check if your existing XFS filesystem has d_type enabled by running the following commands:

Code Block
languagebash
$ docker info | grep "Supports d_type:"
Supports d_type: true

$ xfs_info /docker-mount-point | grep ftype
naming =version 2         bsize=4096      ascii-ci=0     ftype=1

In case you get d_type: false or ftype=0, you will need to create a new XFS filesystem with d_type support enabled. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to enable d_type support on an existing filesystem.

Info

The Kiuwan On-Premises installation tool will check if d_type is enabled on XFS filesystems and stop the installation if it is not.

There are two options:

  • Add a new disk and create a new XFS partition on it.
  • Backup your existing data and recreate the XFS filesystem with d_type support enabled.

You can create a new XFS filesystem with d_type enabled by running the following command:

Code Block
languagebash
$ mkfs.xfs -n ftype=1 /mount-point

Needed internet connections

Please make sure your host machines have connection to these servers when installing Kiuwan On-Premises:

Proxy configuration

If the host on which you are installing Kiuwan On-Premises needs to access the internet through a proxy server, note that:

  • Your OS should know about your proxy settings in order to be able to download the Kiuwan On-Premises installer distribution.
  • Docker daemon must know about your proxy settings in order to download images from https://*.docker.com or https://*.docker.io
  • Docker must know about your proxy settings in order to propagate them to the created containers.
  • Direct access to your SMPT mail server is needed (it is MANDATORY that the host machine can access your mail server regardless of the proxy server).

To instruct your OS to use your proxy settings, please refer to the official documentation for your Linux distribution.

To make Docker daemon use your proxy server, please follow the official Docker documentation on how to set a proxy:

https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/#httphttps-proxy

To make Docker use your proxy when creating containers, please follow the official Docker documentation on how to set a proxy to be used by the containers:

https://docs.docker.com/network/proxy/#configure-the-docker-client

Remember to restart both docker daemon and docker to apply proxy configuration changes:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

You can check if Docker has successfully read your configuration by executing:

Code Block
languagebash
docker system info

Check if your proxy configuration is shown in the console:

Code Block
languagetext
[...]
HTTP Proxy: http://proxy.domain.com:3456
HTTPS Proxy: http://proxy.domain.com:3456
No Proxy: localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16
[...]

Examples

This is an example of a /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf file that makes the Docker daemon use a proxy:

Code Block
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://user:password@proxy.domain.com:3456"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://user:password@proxy.domain.com:3456"
Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16"

This is an example of a ~/.docker/config.json that makes Docker propagate proxy configuration to the created containers:

Code Block
languagejs
{
	"proxies": {
    	"default": {
			"httpProxy": "http://user:password@proxy.domain.com:3456",
			"httpsProxy": "http://user:password@proxy.domain.com:3456",
			"noProxy": "localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16"
		}
	}
}

CPU and memory minimum requirements

The following table shows the minimum requirements for each service. Note that these are only minimum requirements. You should make sure to give each service enough resources depending on your system demands.

ServiceMemoryCPU cores
wildflykiuwan-f[n]2.5GB2 cores
wildflykiuwan-a[n]2.5GB per analysis slot2 cores per analysis slot
wildflykiuwan-s[n]2.5GB2 cores
mysql5GB4 cores
loadbalancer1GB1 core
redis_0000[n]2GB2 cores


Note

CPU clock speed and disk speed will affect the overall response time. 

With the above configuration, a system with the following load should give continuous service without problems:

  • Parallel processing of 2 analyses (any additional parallel analysis request will be enqueued, and it will be executed as soon as any of the running analyses finishes)
  • 50 concurrent web users or REST API calls.

Given the table above, for a single-host installation where no service is externalized the minimum system requirements are:

  • 18GB of RAM and a processor with 8 cores for Kiuwan On-Premises.

It is recommended that you overscale these characteristics for the OS to have resources available for itself.

The Kiuwan On-Premises installation tool (kiuwan-cluster)

The Kiuwan On-Premises installation process is carried out by our "kiuwan-cluster" tool.

The tool is provided as a tar.gz file. The following table summarizes the resources you will find once the tool distribution is extracted:

ResourcePurpose
/config/volumes.propertiesConfiguration file to set where your persistent volumes will reside.
/docker/composeDocker compose files used to manage Kiuwan On-Premises' docker services.
/docker/*.shAdvanced shell scripts to interact with your Kiuwan On-Premises installation.
/logsThe folder where the tool will write installation logs.
/sslTools that ease the certificate creation to keep Kiuwan On-Premises under a secure environment.
/supportTools to ease collecting support data.
/toolsInternal tools used when installing.
/user-contentThe folder where you will have to put some resources the installation process will need.
/volumesThe base persistent volumes (that may be copied to different locations depending on your installation needs).

*.sh

Main shell scripts to interact with your Kiuwan On-Premise installation.

The following sections will guide you through the installation process.

Installation: common steps

Kiuwan On-Premise could be installed and used both in privileged-mode docker setup and unprivileged-mode docker setup. The latter is the recommended way due to improved security of the setup.

This guide references two important folders:

  • [INSTALLER_DIR]: where the installation tool (kiuwan-cluster) will be located.
  • [VOLUMES_DIR]: where the persistent volumes will be located.

Sometimes these folders will be referenced inside command line examples. Please make sure you replace any of them with the needed real path. Note that it is up to you where these folders will be located.

Step 1 (Install in a rootless mode - recommended for security): Create a non-root user for installing Kiuwan

The execution of this step require administrative permissions. The user executing this section needs sudo privileges. Only execute this section if you are installing Kiuwan, this should be run in unprivileged environment (recommended). Ensure the existing user is added to the docker group and can execute docker commands.

For example, let's suppose the non-root username is steve. Actual username should be used in its place.

Execute the command to add the user to the ‘docker’ group:

Code Block
sudo usermod -aG docker steve

To configure user namespace mappings correctly, entries must be added to /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid. This involves mapping a non-root user to a specified range of subordinate user and group IDs. It should be ensured that the specified ranges do not overlap with those assigned to any other user in the respective files. Further details can be found in the documentation here.

Example: In /etc/subuid add these lines.

Code Block
steve:<steve_user_id>:1

steve:100000:65536

In /etc/subgid add these lines.

Code Block
steve:<steve_group_id>:1

steve:100000:65536 

The user's UID and GID can be retrieved by executing the following command:

Code Block
id steve

By adhering to these guidelines, it will be ensured that the subordinate ID mappings are correctly established and do not conflict with other users. The changes will take an effect only when a new user session is started.

Then, edit the file: /etc/docker/daemon.json. Add a new userns-remap entry in it. The final JSON would look something like the following:

Note

The execution of this step require administrative permissions. Execute this section if Kiuwan should be run in unprivileged environment (recommended).


Code Block
{
.... ,
.... ,
"userns-remap": "steve"
}

Run below commands to restart Docker:

Code Block
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

Switch to the non-root user for the next steps, if you are installing as a non-root user.

Step 2: Download kiuwan-cluster

Download kiuwan-cluster (the Kiuwan On-Premises installation tool). It can be downloaded directly from a terminal like this:

Code Block
languagebash
wget https://static.kiuwan.com/download/onpremise/kiuwan-cluster.tar.gz

The latest available installation toll is downloaded to the current directory.

Note that, as stated in System requirements, you will need access to static.kiuwan.com in order to download this file. You should also check your proxy configuration if you access the internet over a proxy server.

Step 3: untar kiuwan-cluster

Once downloaded, you should untar the provided gz file:

Code Block
languagebash
tar xvzpf kiuwan-cluster.tar.gz

This will untar the installation tool to a folder with extended version information of the tool. For example:

/home/user/kiuwan-cluster_master.XXXX-2.8.YYMM.V

This folder will be referred to as [INSTALLER_DIR] throughout this guide.

Step 4: Copy license files

To start a Kiuwan On-Premises installation, you need two license files:

  • configq1.zip
  • license.zip

Copy these files to the user-content folder of your installation tool directory (please remember to replace [INSTALLER_DIR] with the real location of your installation directory):

Code Block
languagebash
cp configq1.zip [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content
cp license.zip [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content


Info
Your Kiuwan Sales Executive or Kiuwan Support (for existing customers) generates these files. Execute the commands below, and pass the replies on to Kiuwan:

hostid
uname -a
docker info
wget https://static.kiuwan.com/download/analyzer/agent.version

Step 5: Download and copy the needed driver version for MySQL

Kiuwan On-Premises needs this exact MySQL driver:

mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar

You can download it by executing this command and extracting the jar file included inside the tar:

Code Block
languagebash
wget https://cdn.mysql.com/archives/mysql-connector-java-5.1/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz

Untar the downloaded file:

Code Block
languagebash
tar xvzpf mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz

Copy the connector jar file to the user content folder:

Code Block
languagebash
cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.39/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content

Step 6: Configure the volumes paths

The installation tool provides the base volumes needed to boot a first installation of Kiuwan On-Premises. Three volumes are included:

  • config-shared: contains the base configuration, shared between different services.
  • data-shared: contains the base data structure, shared between different services.
  • data-local: contains the base data structure, independent for each service.

The installation tool needs to know where you want these volumes to reside. To do so, edit the file located in [INSTALLER_DIR]/config/volumes.properties and set desired locations:

Code Block
languagephp
config.shared=[VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared
data.shared=[VOLUMES_DIR]/data-shared
data.local=[VOLUMES_DIR]/data-local

Please remember that [VOLUMES_DIR] is just a placeholder for the real path you chose.

Note that you need to create the configured folders by running the following command (it is conditional, based on root or rootless installation):

Code Block
languagebash
[sudo] mkdir [VOLUMES_DIR]


Note

Use sudo if kiuwan is installed in privileged containers

In case you are using different base directories for each volume, you must create all the needed base directories.

Warning

Do NOT use the same folder for different volumes. It is MANDATORY that each volume resides on a separated folder.

Step 7: Initialize your volumes

Copy the provided volumes to the configured location by running this script (it is conditional, based on root or rootless installation):

Code Block
languagebash
cd [INSTALLER_DIR]
[sudo] ./deploy-volumes.sh


Note

Use sudo if kiuwan is installed in privileged containers

Step 8: Configure your email server

Kiuwan On-Premises needs a working and accessible e-mail server to send notifications.

Edit with your preferred editor the main configuration file, found in your [VOLUMES_DIR]:

Code Block
languagebash
[sudo] vim [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties


Note

Use sudo if kiuwan is installed in privileged containers


Info

Please note that this is the file located in your [VOLUMES_DIR], not in the [INSTALLER_DIR], which only contains the base volumes.

Edit the following properties under the section named "Kiuwan instances shared configuration":

  • kiuwan.mail.host: the host of your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.port: the port of your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.authentication: a flag to indicate if your mail server needs authentication or not.
  • kiuwan.mail.username: the username to use when authenticating with your email server (only applies if kiuwan.mail.authentication is true).

  • kiuwan.mail.password: the password to use when authenticating with your email server (only applies if kiuwan.mail.authentication is true).

  • kiuwan.mail.from: the email account to use as the sender.

  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer: the security layer that your mail server uses (ssl, tls or none). Set to none if your mail server uses a plaintext connection.
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer.value: the value to set to the ssl or tls (true or false). Only applies if kiuwan.mail.secure.layer is not none.
  • kiuwan.default.mail.account: the email account to set to the default Kiuwan user (kiuwanadmin).

Mail server configuration examples

If your mail server uses a plaintext connection without authentication, set these properties values (other mail server properties values will be ignored):

  • kiuwan.mail.authentication=false
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer=none

If your mail server uses a TLS secure connection but does not need authentication:

  • kiuwan.mail.authentication=false
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer=tls
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer.value=true

If your mail server uses a SSL secure connection and needs authentication:

  • kiuwan.mail.authentication=true
  • kiuwan.mail.username=myuser
  • kiuwan.mail.password=mypassword
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer=ssl
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer.value=true

If your mail server uses a plaintext connection and needs authentication:

  • kiuwan.mail.authentication=true
  • kiuwan.mail.username=myuser
  • kiuwan.mail.password=mypassword
  • kiuwan.mail.secure.layer=none

Step 9 (When installing in a rootless mode): Enable namespaces in Kiuwan config 

Only execute this section if you want to install Kiuwan as a non-root user. Edit with your preferred editor the main configuration file, found in your [VOLUMES_DIR].

Code Block
vim [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties
Set kiuwan.ownNamespaceEnabled=true

Step 10: (Optional) Enable MySQL database port access

Only execute this section if you want to install kiuwan as a non-root user and you want to enable access to MySql port on host. Default value is false. This can be enabled later on after the upgrade separately if you are unsure right now. Edit with your preferred editor the main configuration file, found in your [VOLUMES_DIR].

Code Block
vim 

...

Code Block
languagebash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

You can check if Docker has successfully read your configuration by executing:

Code Block
languagebash
docker system info

Check if your proxy configuration is shown in the console:

Code Block
languagetext
[...]
HTTP Proxy: http://proxy.domain.com:3456
HTTPS Proxy: http://proxy.domain.com:3456
No Proxy: localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16
[...]

Examples

This is an example of a /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf file that makes the Docker daemon use a proxy:

Code Block
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.domain.com:3456"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.domain.com:3456"
Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16"

This is an example of a ~/.docker/config.json that makes Docker propagate proxy configuration to the created containers:

Code Block
languagejs
{
	"proxies": {
    	"default": {
			"httpProxy": "http://proxy.domain.com:3456",
			"httpsProxy": "http://proxy.domain.com:3456",
			"noProxy": "localhost,127.0.0.1,172.172.0.0/16"
		}
	}
}

CPU and memory minimum requirements

The following table shows the minimum requirements for each service. Note that these are only minimum requirements. You should make sure to give each service enough resources depending on your system demands.

ServiceMemoryCPU cores
wildfly-f[n]2.5GB2 cores
wildfly-a[n]2.5GB per analysis slot2 cores per analysis slot
wildfly-s[n]2.5GB2 cores
mysql5GB4 cores
loadbalancer1GB1 core
redis_0000[n]2GB2 cores

Note: CPU clock speed and disk speed will affect the overall response time. 

With the above configuration, a system with the following load should give continuous service without problems:

  • Parallel processing of 2 analyses (any additional parallel analysis request will be enqueued, and it will be executed as soon as any of the running analyses finishes)
  • 50 concurrent web users or REST API calls.

Given the table above, for a single-host installation where no service is externalized the minimum system requirements are:

  • 18GB of RAM and a processor with 8 cores for Kiuwan On-Premises.

It is recommended that you overscale these characteristics for the OS to have resources available for itself.

*.sh

Main shell scripts to interact with your Kiuwan On-Premise installation.

The following sections will guide you through the installation process.

Installation: common steps

This guide will reference two important folders:

  • [INSTALLER_DIR]: where the installation tool (kiuwan-cluster) will be located.
  • [VOLUMES_DIR]: where the persistent volumes will be located.

Sometimes these folders will be referenced inside command line examples. Please make sure you replace any of them with the needed real path.

Note that it is up to you where these folders will be located.

Step 1: download kiuwan-cluster

The first step is to download kiuwan-cluster (the Kiuwan On-Premises installation tool). It can be downloaded directly from a terminal like this:

Code Block
languagebash
wget https://static.kiuwan.com/download/onpremise/kiuwan-cluster.tar.gz

This will download the latest available installation tool to the current directory.

Step 2: untar kiuwan-cluster

Once downloaded, you should untar the provided gz file:

Code Block
languagebash
tar xvzpf kiuwan-cluster.tar.gz

This will untar the installation tool to a folder with extended version information of the tool. For example:

/home/user/kiuwan-cluster_master.XXXX-2.8.YYMM.V

This folder will be referred to as [INSTALLER_DIR] throughout this guide.

Step 3: copy license files

In order to be able to start a Kiuwan On-Premises installation, you will need two license files:

  • configq1.zip
  • license.zip

Copy these files to the user-content folder of your installation tool directory (please replace [INSTALLER_DIR] with the real location of your installation directory):

Code Block
languagebash
cp configq1.zip [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content
cp license.zip [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content

Step 4: download and copy the needed driver version for MySQL

Kiuwan On-Premises needs this exact MySQL driver:

mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar

You can download it by executing this command and extracting the jar file included inside the tar:

Code Block
languagebash
wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz

Untar the downloaded file:

Code Block
languagebash
tar xvzpf mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz

Copy the connector jar file to the user content folder:

Code Block
languagebash
cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.39/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content

Step 5: initialize your volumes

The installation tool comes with the base volumes to boot a first installation of Kiuwan On-Premises. We provide three volumes:

  • config-shared: contains the base configuration, shared between different services.
  • data-shared: contains the base data structure, shared between different services.
  • data-local: contains the base data structure, independent for each service.

Copy the provided volumes to your desired location:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo cp -rp [INSTALLER_DIR]/volumes/config-shared [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared
sudo cp -rp [INSTALLER_DIR]/volumes/data-shared [VOLUMES_DIR]/data-shared
sudo cp -rp [INSTALLER_DIR]/volumes/data-local [VOLUMES_DIR]/data-local
Info

Take note of the locations you choose for each volume. You will need these paths for the next installation step.

Step 6: configure the created volume paths

Edit the file located in [INSTALLER_DIR]/config/volumes.properties and set the previous paths to each property:

Code Block
languagephp
config.shared=[VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared
data.shared=[VOLUMES_DIR]/data-shared
data.local=[VOLUMES_DIR]/data-local

Please remember that [VOLUMES_DIR] is just a placeholder for the real path you chose.

Step 7: configure your email server

KoP needs a working and accessible e-mail server to send notifications.

Edit with your preferred editor the main configuration file, found in your [VOLUMES_DIR]:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo vim [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties
Info

Please note that this is the file located in your [VOLUMES_DIR], not in the [INSTALLER_DIR], which only contains the base volumes.

Edit the following properties under the section named "Kiuwan instances shared configuration":

  • kiuwan.mail.host: the host of your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.port: the port of your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.username: the username to use when authenticating with your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.password: the password to use when authenticating with your email server.

  • kiuwan.mail.from: the email account to use as the sender.

  • kiuwan.default.mail.account: the email account to set to your default Kiuwan user.

Installation: single-host and minimum configuration

Follow this section if you want to proceed and install Kiuwan On-Premises with no further customization.

The defaults will install Kiuwan On-Premises with these characteristics:

  • Single-host installation, including these services (see Kiuwan On-Premises Distributed System Architecture for more details):
    • Apache as a load balancer.
    • A Kiuwan front instance.
    • A Kiuwan analyzer instance.
    • A Kiuwan scheduler instance.
    • MySQL database.
    • Redis cluster.
  • HTTPS support when accessing Kiuwan and between the loadbalancer and Kiuwan instances.
  • Kiuwan On-Premises deployed in the default domain (https://kiuwan.onpremise.local).

If this is enough for you, just continue with the following steps.

If you plan to change the default domain, please refer to the Modifying the default domain section before continuing and come back here after you have made the needed changes.

Step 1: deploy user content

On a terminal, navigate to the [INSTALLER_DIR] folder and execute this command:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo ./deploy-user-content.sh

This will copy the user-content files to the configured volumes and set the needed permissions.

Step 2: install Kiuwan On-Premises

On a terminal, navigate to the [INSTALLER_DIR] folder and execute this command:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo ./install.sh

This will:

  • Download and run the needed Docker images.
  • Install the database resources for Kiuwan On-Premises.
  • Download the latest available Local Analyzer, Engine and Kiuwan for Developers to make them available in your installation.
  • Install the engine data in your Kiuwan On-Premises database.
  • Autogenerate the needed configuration for each Kiuwan instance.
  • Run all the needed containers.

Once the installation is finisished please refer to the Accessing your Kiuwan On-Premises installation section.

Installation: modifying the default domain

The default configuration sets "kiuwan.onpremise.local" as the default domain to access Kiuwan On-Premises.

We encourage to change the default domain, but take into account that this means updating the provided certificates to keep your installation connections secure.

Step 1: edit the global configuration file

Using your preferred editor, edit the default configuration file located in your config-shared volume:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo vim [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties

Edit these properties (kiuwan.port is only needed if you want to use https under a different port than the default 443):

  • kiuwan.domain
  • kiuwan.port

Step 2: update load balancer configuration

Once you have selected your new domain and if you are using the provided Apache load balancer, you should edit the main Apache configuration file:

Code Block
languagebash
sudo vim [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/ApacheLoadBalancer/conf/httpd.conf

Edit this line and change the default domain (kiuwan.onpremise.local) to your new domain:

Code Block
Define kiuwanDomain kiuwan.onpremise.local

If you have externalized the provided Apache load balancer, you should edit the equivalent configuration file to set the new domain.

Step 3: generate new certificates

Please refer to the Managing certificates guide and follow the needed steps depending on your needs.

Once this is done, you should have these files under the [INSTALLER_DIR]/user-content/certs folder:

  • cacert.pem
  • domainkey.pem
  • domaincert.pem
  • domainkeystore.jks
  • truststore.jks

Step 4: complete your installation

If you are performing a new Kiuwan On-Premises installation, please refer to the steps indicated in the following sections, depending on your installation needs:

If you have already installed Kiuwan On-Premises, you will need to stop your containers, update the deployed configuration and restart them. To do so, execute these commands:

Code Block
languagebash
cd [INSTALLER_DIR]/docker
sudo ./stop-kiuwan.sh
sudo ./stop-infrastructure.sh
sudo ./update.sh
sudo ./start-infrastructure.sh
sudo ./start-kiuwan.sh

Step 5: update your DNS or hosts files

If you are modifying an existing Kiuwan On-Premises installation, you will need to update your DNS or hosts files.

Note that if you have generated new certificates signed by a different CA than the one that signed the previous ones, you should update your Kiuwan On-Premises clients certificates or truststores.

Please refer to Accessing your Kiuwan On-Premises installation for details on these topics.

Installation: externalizing services

Kiuwan On-Premises uses three main services under its infrastructure's hood:

  • Apache: used as a load balancer when multiple Kiuwan frontal instances are running.
  • Redis: an in-memory cache to speed up response times.
  • MySQL: Kiuwan's main database.

If you want to use your own services for any of the previous ones, Kiuwan On-Premises can connect to them by bypassing their creation at installation time.

Configuring services to externalize

First of all, you will need to edit the main configuration file and mark which services you want to externalize:

  • [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties

This table shows the properties you should modify when externalizing each service:

ServicePropertyDefault value
Apachekiuwan.externalize.apacheloadbalancerfalse
Rediskiuwan.externalize.redis.[cache|storage]false
MySQLkiuwan.externalize.mysqlfalse

When setting to "true" any of the previous properties, the corresponding service will be externalized and the installation tool will not manage any related instance. Note that all the configuration will be up to you, as the Kiuwan On-Premise installer will only be able to configure how Kiuwan On-Premise will connect to your own services.

Externalizing Apache

When externalizing this service you should take into account that:

  • Each Kiuwan On-Premises frontal instance domain name is wildflykiuwan-f[n], [n] being the frontal instance number. Note that depending on your installation needs you may want to access each instance via IP or its own host name.
  • Each Kiuwan On-Premises frontal instance only exposes the port 8[n]43 for https traffic, [n] being the frontal instance number.
  • You should provide your frontal service the needed certificates in order to make https connections available (please refer to Managing certificates for more information):
    • domaincert.pem
    • domainkey.pem
    • cacert.pem

Externalizing Redis

In case you set Redis as an external service, Kiuwan On-Premises needs to know where the Redis nodes are deployed and which ports to use when connecting to them.

In case you use a special DNS that can resolve the same host to different hosts and ports (DNS Round-Robin or equivalent), you should configure just an single host.

All the needed configuration is located in the main configuration file:

  • [VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties

The following table shows the properties to configure (note that you should set exactly the same configuration for both "cache" and "store" Redis configurations):

PropertyMeaningExample
redis.[cache|store].nodesComma separated list of host and port for each Redis nodern1.mydomain.com:6379,rn2.mydomain.com:6379,rn3.mydomain.com:6379,rn4.mydomain.com:6379,rn5.mydomain.com:6379,rn6.mydomain.com:6379
redis.[cache|store].timeoutConnection timeout in milliseconds2000
redis.[cache|store].password Password to use when connecting to a node (leave empty if you have set no password access) 
 redis.[cache|store].clientNameName of the client connection (defaults to empty) 

It is mandatory for Kiuwan On-Premises to work with your Redis installation that it complies with these characteristics:

  • Redis version must be equal or higher than 5.0.4.
  • Redis must be configured as a cluster.
  • Eviction policy must be set to "noeviction" (refer to Redis official documentation, maxmemory-policy configuration property).

Externalizing MySQL

When externalizing MySQL note that your MySQL installation should comply with these characteristics:

  • MySQL version 5.7
  • Maximum number of connections: 130 per Kiuwan On-Premises instance.

Step 1: create Kiuwan On-Premises schemas

You should create the needed schemas in your MySQL installation. To do so, please execute this script with a user that has schema creation privileges:

Code Block
languagesql
create database opt_activity CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database opt_cinc CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database opt_metamodel CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database opt_qmm CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database opt_transaction CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
create database opt_insight CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

Step 2: create Kiuwan On-Premises user

You should create the user that will be connecting to Kiuwan On-Premises schemas. Please run this script as an admin user to do so:

Code Block
languagesql
create user '[USER]'@'%' identified by '[PASSWORD]';
grant all privileges on `opt_%`.* to '[USER]'@'%' identified by '[PASSWORD]';
flush privileges;

Note that you should replace [USER] with the desired user name and [PASSWORD] with the desired password.

Step 3: configure your installation

The following table shows the properties to configure for Kiuwan On-Premises to connect to your own MySQL instance:

PropertyMeaningExample
mysql.hostYour MySQL installation hostmysqlkiuwan
mysql.portThe connection port to access your MySQL installation3306
mysql.usernameThe user that will be connecting to Kiuwan On-Premises schemas (should match the one provided in the previous step)csaas
mysql.passwordThe user's password (should match the one provided in the previous step) 

Installation: using Amazon S3 as file repository

Kiuwan On-Premises uses these shared file repositories to store analysis related data:

  • kiuwanCentralRepository: stores analysis results files.
  • kiuwanSourceCodeRepository: stores source code.

These two Kiuwan On-Premises internal file repositories can be replaced with Amazon S3 buckets.

To do so, you should first configure these properties in the main configuration file ([VOLUMES_DIR]/config-shared/globalConfig/globalConfig.properties):

  • centralFileRepository.type=s3
  • sourceCodeFileRepository.type=s3

The following table shows the properties you should modify when making Kiuwan On-Premises connect to AWS S3 buckets:

PropertyMeaningExample

s3.privateBucket.bucketName

Your AWS S3 bucket names3mycompany-us
s3.privateBucket.subDirectoryNameYour AWS S3 subdirectory name under the configured bucketmydirectory
s3.privateBucket.accessKeyIdAWS access key for your bucketBS3BX35Z27UAQCEACTPQ

Accessing your Kiuwan On-Premises installation

In order to access your Kiuwan On-Premises installation you should follow a few more steps.

Step 1: add your domain to your local network DNS

To access your Kiuwan On-Premises installation you should take into account whether the selected domain is available in the DNSs your local network may use.

In order to access Kiuwan you will need to do one of the following options:

  • Add kiuwan.onpremise.local to your DNS (recommended option).
  • Add kiuwan.onpremise.local to your hosts file.

For testing purposes or if you choose the second option, edit this file in the host where you plan to access Kiuwan from:

  • Windows OS: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
  • Linux OS: /etc/hosts

Add the following entry to the previous file:

Code Block
[kiuwan_on_premise_host_ip] [kiuwan_on_premise_host]

For example, the previous entry may look like this for an installation pointing to the default host (note that the IP of the example may change in your local network):

Code Block
192.168.0.56 kiuwan.onpremise.local

Step 2: add your certificates' CA to your clients

Depending on whether you are using a trusted CA or not to sign your certificates, you may need to add the CA to your client's certificate store to avoid warning messages. 

Please refer to the Adding the provided or a custom CA to Kiuwan On-Premises' clients section for a complete explanation on how to handle this depending on your installation configuration.

Step 3: wait for Kiuwan services to be started

Note that although the installation process may have finished, the Kiuwan servers may need some minutes to start up. Please wait if you receive a "404 - Not Found" error message when accessing Kiuwan On-Premises.

Step 4: access Kiuwan On-Premises
