VIPS Backend single server

This repository contains scripts and documentation for configuring the VIPS backend systems (VIPSLogic, VIPSCoreManager and VIPSCore) on a single Linux server.

Requirements

  • A clean installation of Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS

Instructions

You need to clone (download) the entire repository to the server on which you want to install VIPS.

In order to clone this repository, issue this command:

git clone https://gitlab.nibio.no/vips-setup/vips-backend-single-server.git

If you get this error message:

fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.nibio.no/vips-setup/vips-backend-single-server.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

...then you need to update your SSL certificates, running this command (as ROOT):

echo $(echo -n | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect gitlab.nibio.no:443 2>/dev/null | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p') >> /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

...and then run the git clone command again

cd into the directory vips-backend-single-server/ and run the script:

sudo ./vips-backend-single-server.sh

The installation process may take quite a while. You will be asked questions every now and then, so please make sure to check in on the output from time to time.
