1. To start with, please download our pre-configured .ova image for VMware ESXI 6.5+ environments.

2. Create a VM using the image, start up and perform the necessary network base settings (default is DHCP which is generally unsuitable for a DMS server appliance).
   Open the Activities overview and start typing Settings. Click on Settings. If you plug in to the network with a cable, click Network, otherwise click Wi-Fi. Click the settings button. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 tab and change the Method to Manual. It is suggested that you set your network to static IP. Remember to also set addresses for your internal DNS server. You can find some help, e.g. here. Next steps how to setup system, network and prepare for deploy you can find in file /home/edms/Readme.md 

   After you set your network settings as required, please restart the network service:

   Code Block
   language bash title Ubuntu network restart
   sudo systemctl restart networking

   After that, reboot the host. Your network is now ready to use with the parameters you set.

3. If there is no ssh key (~/.shh/), create a ssh key using

   Code Block
   language bash
   ssh-keygen -t rsa

   which creates a unique pair of public/private keys for your environment. Use default values, if possible. If you have to name your key-file differently than "id_rsa", please see below.

4. Then send the "~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" file from ~/.ssh/ to Patrix and/or PI to set up authenticated access to your client specific repository holding your setup configuration.
5. Assign a FQDN to the static IP of your DMS server in your DNS server.
6. Make sure that /etc/timezone file exists and locale is set appropriately (eg. Europe/Berlin)
   for setting your timezone on the OVA (Ubuntu 22 LTS ova) use sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone and make sure that your_time_zone is valid.
7. From thereon, you should be able to continue with our auto-deploy technology: Click here to continue.
