The FlexDeploy Virtual Machine provides fully configured and executable samples, enabling users to examine the features and use as reference for full implementation.
Virtual Machine Configuration
- 1 CPU
- 4 GB RAM
- FlexDeploy installed on Tomcat 8.5.15
- Oracle XE database with FlexDeploy schemas installed
- Two Tomcat 8.5.15 servers for deploying sample applications
- Apache JMeter for unit testing sample applications
- Connection to GitHub repository containing sample source code
Install Oracle VirtualBox
Download and Install Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Next steps will explain how to use FlexDeploy OVA image file with VirtualBox.
Importing VM Appliance
These The steps are for shown use Oracle VM VirtualBox for the Host, but there are other options. Feel free to use any host capable of importing OVA images. You may need to unzip the file you downloaded before you are able to import it.
- Open VirtualBox.
- Click File - Import Appliance.
- Select the VM image (.ova file), Click Next.
File name of ova file depends on the version of FlexDeploy you have downloaded.
- Click Import
- It is here where settings can be adjusted, you can change the VM name or give it more CPU, etc
- If Memory is reduced below 3 GB, the VM will not work correctly
Starting FlexDeploy VM
- Once the Import process has finished, start the VM.
- This can be done by clicking on the VM and clicking start Start on the top bar OR
- Right click on the VM, go to Start > Normal Start
- Once the system has started, login with provided credentials. You can login using putty as well, just use port 222.
- Run start command.
- ./start_flexdeploy.sh
- Because the database can take some time to initialize there may be a small delay, the startup script will let to you know it's waiting to connect
.
Once the virtual machine has started, FlexDeploy tomcat server will also automatically start and you will see screen shown below and you can login using http://localhost:8000/flexdeploy. It takes some time for Tomcat server to start application, so give few minutes before you launch application in browser.
Tip FlexDeploy can be started using start_flexdeploy.sh script as well. Login using flexuser/flexdeploy1 credentials. You can do this on Virtual Box window or using Putty (localhost with port 222).
- After few minutes, Open your browser to http://localhost:8000/flexdeploy.
- Once FlexDeploy has loaded, you can log in and explore. FlexDeploy User credentials are fdadmin/welcome1.
Stopping FlexDeploy VM
- Run stop command.
- Start SSH session on port 222 and login as flexuser.
- cd
- ./stop_flexdeploy.sh
- Power Off VM in VirtualBox Manager.
