Distribution HA Linux Archive/RPM/Debian Installation

First node installation steps

1. Install the first node. The installation is identical to the single-node installation. Important: do not start Distribution yet.

2. Configure the $JFROG_HOME/distribution/var/etc/ system.yaml file with the database and first node configuration details. For example,

   First node system.yaml

   YAML

   shared:
     database:
       type: postgresql
       driver: org.postgresql.Driver
       url: jdbc: postgresql://<PosgreSQL_Host_IP_address>:<postgres_port>/distribution?sslmode=disable
       username: distribution
       password: password
     security:
       joinKey: <join_key>

3. Start and manage the Distribution service.

   systemd OS

   Bash

   systemctl start|stop distribution.service

   Systemv OS

   Bash

   service distribution start|stop

4. Access Distribution from your browser at: http://<jfrogUrl>/ui/: go to the Distribution tab in the Application module in the UI.

5. Check the Distribution log.

   Bash

   tail -f $JFROG_HOME/distribution/var/log/console.log

Additional node installation steps

For a node to join a cluster, the node must have the same database configuration and the Master Key. Install all additional nodes using the same steps described above, with the additional steps below:

1. Configure the $JFROG_HOME/distribution/var/etc/ system.yaml file for the additional node with master key, database, and active node configurations. For example,

   Additional node system.yaml

   YAML

   shared:
     database:
       type: postgresql
       driver: org.postgresql.Driver
       url: jdbc: postgresql://<PosgreSQL_Host_IP_address>:<postgres_port>/distribution?sslmode=disable
       username: distribution
       password: password
     security:
       joinKey: <join_key>

2. Copy the master.key from the first node to the additional node located at $JFROG_HOME/distribution/var/etc /security/master.key.

3. Start the additional node.

4. Access Distribution from your browser at: http://<jfrogUrl>/ui/: go to the Distribution tab in the Application module in the UI.

5. Check the Distribution log.

   Bash

   tail -f $JFROG_HOME/distribution/var/log/console.log
