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

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.
   

   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.

Requirements for EDMS in ubuntu systems - server side

Note: These are estimated configuration values, they can vary from system to system. For systems with 150+ users, a separate investigation regarding their needs and therefore requirements should be done. The RAM values should always be increased, if the capacity is approaching its maximum. Otherwise, the proper functionality of the system can not be guaranteed. Furthermore, please note, that the number of shards is in general depending on the size of the index. Per 10-50G of Index, one shard is recommended. The number of shards should be increased in steps of 10.
