Standard environment preparation

This topic provides guidance for preparing your environment before Standard installation.

Install requirements

Note

The installer provides a single-node installation process.

Software requirements

  • Any Linux variant capable of supporting Docker (RHEL 7.x/CentOS)

  • Docker Engine 1.13.1+ or Docker CE/EE 17.04+ (Supports Compose format 3.1)

  • Docker Compose 1.11.0+ (Supports Compose format 3.1)

For Docker, the default log driver must be configured to the json-file.

For Red Hat systems, please refer to the Default options for modifying docker daemon options. To verify that you’re running the json-file, run the following command:

docker info --format '{{.LoggingDriver}}'

  • If SELinux is enabled, it cannot be in enforcing mode

  • Optional: TLS/SSL certs and DNS are ready (more information below)

The installer is a self-extracting binary (ate-x.x.x-installer.sh, where x.x.x is the version number) that contains the necessary components to run Anaconda Teams services. The basic requirements prior to installation are:

  • A host Linux operating system that can run the installer binary

  • Docker running on the host

  • Docker Compose installed and available on the command line

Hardware requirements

  • 4 CPUs

  • 8GB RAM

  • 500GB storage space

Warning

Our recommended disk space does not support conda-forge.

Optional: TLS/SSL certificate requirements

Team Edition can use certificates to provide transport layer security for the cluster. It is required to have your TLS/SSL certs prior to installation, otherwise self-signed certificates can be generated during the initial installation. You can configure the platform to use organizational TLS/SSL certificates after completing the installation.

You may purchase certificates commercially, use Let’s Encrypt, or generate them using your organization’s internal public key infrastructure (PKI) system. When using an internal PKI-signed setup, the CA certificate is stored on the file system. You will need to make sure that the root certificate of your certificate authority is trusted by the server running the application and the workstations used by users of the application.

In either case, the configuration will include the following:

  • A certificate for the root certificate authority (CA)

  • An intermediate certificate chain

  • A server certificate

  • A private server key

Optional: DNS requirements

Web browsers use domain names and web origins to separate sites, so they cannot tamper with each other. If you want to use DNS, you must have it ready prior to installation. This DNS name is what users will use to access the application.

Security requirements

External — accessible outside of server

It is important to protect all services running on the node from outside access. The exceptions are as shown below:

  • :80 nginx - only if you are using HTTP

  • :443 nginx - only if you are using HTTPS

  • :22 ssh - optional; only if you need SSH

Internal — accessible only within server

Note

This is only necessary in a multi-node install. Please contact your implementation representative for more information.

Anaconda Team Edition uses several ports for internal communication between components. These ports do not need to be open to the end user.

  • :5000 repo - Team Edition API

  • :5002 repo-proxy - Team Edition file serving API proxy

  • :5000 repo-dispatcher - Team Edition event dispatcher/handler (exposed only for prometheus metrics)

  • :5000 repo-worker - Team Edition scheduled jobs worker (exposed only for prometheus metrics)

  • :8080 keycloak - keycloak’s /auth/* endpoints are proxied in Nginx

  • :5432 postgres - Postgresql database used by Team Edition and Keycloak

  • :6379 redis - Redis instance used by Team Edition services

  • :9090 prometheus - Prometheus is proxied in Nginx at /Prometheus

To change the postgres user password, run \password postgres when in the shell of the postgres container.

To change the redis user password, follow the instructions under Troubleshooting.

After ensuring all requirements have been met, proceed to Standard installation to install Team Edition.
