Installing the Web Portal Components

Enable the TeamDrive Web Portal dnf Repository

The TeamDrive Web Portal components are available in the form of RPM packages, hosted in a dedicated dnf repository. This makes the installation and applying of future updates of the software very easy — you can simply run dnf update to keep your Web Portal software up to date.

To enable the repository, you need to download the td-webportal.repo file and place it into the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/, e.g. by using wget:

[root@webportal ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/td-webportal.repo \
http://repo.teamdrive.net/td-webportal.repo

This will enable the “TeamDrive Web Portal Version 3.1.3” repository, which you can check by running dnf repolist afterwards:

[root@webportal ~]# dnf repolist
      repo id                          repo name
      appstream                        CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream
      baseos                           CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS
      extras                           CentOS Linux 8 - Extras
      td-webportal-3.0                 TeamDrive Web Portal Version 3.1.3 (x86_64)

Download and Install the TeamDrive Web Portal Package

On CentOS 8 please disable the old td-webportal repositories, because they are not available for this version:

dnf config-manager --set-disabled td-webportal-1.0
dnf config-manager --set-disabled td-webportal-1.1
dnf config-manager --set-disabled td-webportal-1.2
dnf config-manager --set-disabled td-webportal-2.0

Perform the download and installation of the Web Portal installation RPM package using the dnf package manager:

[root@webportal ~]# dnf install td-webportal

The TeamDrive Web Portal depends on the Yvva Runtime Environment version 1.5.9 or later to be installed and configured beside other required software components like the Apache Web Server and Apache SSL module. They will be installed by dnf as a dependency on td-webportal automatically.

Once the TeamDrive Web Portal software has been installed successfully, you can proceed with the initial configuration.

Installing the Web Portal HTML Documentation (optional)

The documentation for the Web Portal (in HTML format) can be installed locally, so you can access it directly from the Web Portal (or any other host running an Apache HTTP Server).

To install the HTML Documentation, install the following package via dnf from the “TeamDrive Web Portal” repository:

[root@webportal ~]# dnf install td-webportal-doc-html

The HTML documents will be installed in directory /var/www/html/td-webportal-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 Web Portal 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-webportal-doc.httpd.conf.
