At the time of this writing OpenVDMv2 was built and tested against the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS operating system. It may be possible to build against other linux-based operating systems however for the purposes of this guide the instructions will assume Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is used.
Goto https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/
If this is going to be a remote install then SSH Server must be installed.
apt install -y ssh
Log into the Server as root
Download the install script
cd ~
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webbpinner/OpenVDMv2/v2.x/install-openvdm-ubuntu20.04.sh > ~/install-openvdm-ubuntu20.04.sh
Run the install script
chmod +x ~/install-openvdm-ubuntu20.04.sh
~/install-openvdm-ubuntu20.04.sh
You will need to answer some questions about your configuration.
-
Name to assign to host? --> This is the host name of the server
-
Repository to install from? --> This is the which OpenVDM repo you want to install from
-
Repository branch to install? --> This is the branch of the specified repo to download
-
OpenVDM user to create? --> This is the system user that will own the cruise data files. This is also the username used to connect the OpenVDM web-app to the backend database
-
OpenVDMv2 Database password to use for user ? --> This is the DATABASE user password for the database user.
-
Current database password for root (hit return if this is the initial installation)? --> This is the root password for the database
-
Root data directory for OpenVDM? --> This is the root directory that will contain all the cruise data for all cruises managed by OpenVDM. If this directory does not already exist you will be asked if you want it created.
At this point the warehouse should have a working installation of OpenVDMv2 however the vessel operator will still need to configure data dashboard collection system transfers, cruise data transfers and the shoreside data warehouse.
To access the OpenVDM web-application goto: <http:///OpenVDMv2/> The default username/passwd is admin/demo
#Goto <http:///OpenVDMv2> and login (user icon, upper-right) #Click the user icon again and select "User Settings" #Set the desired password and optional change the admin username.
If at anypoint you see this message in the OpenVDM web-interface you can see what the error was by going to: <http:///OpenVDMv2/errorlog.html>. That should hopefully provide you with enough information as to what's gone wrong.
