Deployment Procedure
Review the Prerequisites before you start the deployment. The steps to deploy the CTIX application and database services are:
Download Installer Package
To download the latest version of the CTIX installer package, run the following command:
wget https://packages.cyware.com/repository/cyware/installer/ctix/installer-ctix-release-latest.zip
Note
To download a previous version of the CTIX installer package, contact the Cyware team for the download URL.
Extract Installer Package
To extract the CTIX installer package, run the following command:
unzip installer-ctix-release-latest.zip
After extracting the installer package, run the following command to go to the CTIX installer folder to proceed with the deployment:
cd ctix-installer

Update Hosts File
The hosts file includes the IP addresses of the servers on which you want to deploy the CTIX application and database services. In a one-tier deployment architecture, enter the same server IP address in the swarm_managers and swarm_workers variables. To deploy the services in different servers, you can enter the IP addresses of all the servers in the hosts file.
To update the hosts file, do the following:
Run the following command to open the
hostsfile:sudo vi vars/ctix/hosts
Enter the IP address of the machines on which you want to deploy the CTIX application and database services. You can host the services on multiple machines based on your requirements. For example, for a two-tier deployment, you can host the
appandbackgroundservices on one server and the database services on another server.Save and exit.
Update Vars File
The vars.yml file includes variables, such as base path, database passwords, and endpoints, that are needed for the CTIX application and database services.
To update the vars.yml file, do the following:
Run the following command to open the
vars.ymlfile:sudo vi vars/ctix/vars.yml
Update the respective values, such as base and log paths, database URLs and passwords, and more.
Save and exit.
Install Docker and Set up Cluster
The CTIX application and database services run as Docker containers. You must install Docker on all servers where you want to deploy the CTIX services.
To install Docker on all servers, do the following on the installer server:
Run the following command to download the Docker dependencies:
yum install https://packages.cyware.com/repository/cyware-yum-hosted/libselinux-python-2.9-2.1.module_el8.2.0+308+f56412f1.x86_64.rpm
Run the following command to install Docker and set up the cluster:
ansible-playbook -i vars/ctix/hosts run-setup.yml -e"client=ctix" -u <ssh-user>
root@ip-10-xx-x-64 ctix-installer]# ansible-playbook -i vars/ctix/hosts run-setup.yml -e"client=ctix" -u centos PLAY [all] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** TASK [Gathering Facts] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ok: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Start AWS CSOL deployment] **************************************************************************************************************************************************** skipping: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Add the cyware docker repo] *************************************************************************************************************************************************** skipping: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Add the cyware docker 8 repo] ************************************************************************************************************************************************* ok: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Install the docker in the rhel/centos server] ********************************************************************************************************************************* ok: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Install the docker in the aws server] ***************************************************************************************************************************************** skipping: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [setup/docker : Start Docker service] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* ok: [10.xx.x.64]
Deploy Database Stack
To deploy the CTIX database stack, run the following command on the installer server:
ansible-playbook -i vars/ctix/hosts deploy-db-stack.yml -e"client=ctix" -u <ssh-user>
root@ip-10-xx-x-64 ctix-installer]# ansible-playbook -i vars/ctix/hosts deploy-db-stack.yml -e"client=ctix" -u centos PLAY [all] ********************************************************************* TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************* ok: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [deploy/deploy-db-stack : Change ansible python interpreter to python3] *** ok: [10.xx.x.64] TASK [deploy/deploy-db-stack : Allow Connections on DB PORT] ******************* changed: [10.xx.x.64] ... ... ...

Deploy CTIX Application Stack
To deploy the CTIX application stack, run the following command on the installer server:
ansible-playbook -i vars/ctix/hosts deploy-ctix.yml -e"client=ctix" -u <ssh-user>
