Installing the Host Server Components¶
Enable the TeamDrive Host Server yum
Repository¶
The TeamDrive Host Server components are available in the form of RPM
packages, hosted in a dedicated yum
repository. This makes the
installation and applying of future updates of the software very easy —
you can simply run yum update
to keep your Host Server software up to
date.
To enable the repository, you need to download the td-hostserver.repo
file
and place it into the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/
, e.g. by using
wget
:
[root@hostserver ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/td-hostserver.repo \
http://repo.teamdrive.net/td-hostserver.repo
This will enable the “TeamDrive Host Server Version 3.7” repository, which you can check
by running yum repolist
afterwards:
[root@hostserver ~]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: security repo id repo name status td-hostserver-3.7 TeamDrive Host Server Version 3.7 2 base CentOS-6 - Base 6.367 extras CentOS-6 - Extras 14 updates CentOS-6 - Updates 1.094 repolist: 7.477
Download and Install the TeamDrive Host Server Package¶
Perform the download and installation of the Host Server installation RPM
package using the yum
package manager:
[root@hostserver ~]# yum install td-hostserver
The TeamDrive Hosting Service depends on the Yvva Runtime Environment version
1.4 or later to be installed and configured. It will be installed by
yum
as a dependency on td-hostserver
automatically.
Once the TeamDrive Host Server software has been installed successfully, you can proceed with the initial configuration.
Installing the Host Server HTML Documentation (optional)¶
Beginning with Host Server version 3.0.013.10, the documentation (in HTML format) can be installed locally, so you can access it directly from the Host Server (or any other host running an Apache HTTP Server).
To install the HTML Documentation, install the following package via yum
from the “TeamDrive Host Server” repository:
[root@hostserver ~]# yum install td-hostserver-doc-html
The HTML documents will be installed in directory
/var/www/html/td-hostserver-doc
. From your web browser, open the following
URL to access the documentation:
Note
This step is optional. If you leave the documentation installed when the
Host Server goes into production and is accessible from the public Internet,
you should ensure to restrict access to this URL to trusted hosts or
networks only. This can be achieved by adding the appropriate access control
rules to the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/td-hostserver-doc.httpd.conf
.
