Prepare Ubuntu VM for SteVe
We suggest running SteVe under the latest Ubuntu LTS version as it is our default target. Following you find some basic steps to prepare a Ubuntu VM to run SteVe.
Install Ubuntu LTS 20.04 Server in a Virtual Machine, e.g. using VirtualBox or VMware.
Hypervisors like ESXi or Proxmox are fine as well.
SteVe does not require any special OS configuration or installation options, but we suggest using UTC as timezone.
This can be changed later via sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC
After the Installation finishes log into the system and add the universe package repository (it contains maven):
sudo add-apt-repository universe
Afterwards completely update the system and reboot to activate the newest kernel (This will take some time)
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo reboot
To install maven execute:
sudo apt -y install maven
Next install MariaDB, we suggested explicitly selecting version 10.3 as this is currently supported.
sudo apt install mariadb-server-10.3
(optional) Configure and set a root password for the MariaDB server:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
and enable+start MariaDB:
sudo systemctl enable mariadb && sudo systemctl start mariadb
A minimal firewall configuration using would look as follows:
sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp (if you changed SteVe's port, change this as well)
sudo ufw default deny
sudo ufw enable
If you are using SSL in an virtual enviroment the installation of haveged is suggested:
sudo apt install haveged && sudo systemctl enable haveged && sudo systemctl start haveged
You can now follow the SteVe installation guide at https://github.com/RWTH-i5-IDSG/steve
To enter the SQL commands in Ubuntu just use sudo mysql
