Installing VERDE (RPM) 8.3.4 and Above with Postgres Database on Single Server

Product Line:  VERDE

***As A Reminder:  If the customer plans to only install VERDE on one server, there are less changes to consider.  This means probably no more than 15 - 20 VDI users or approximately 50 Container users.***

Run the following linux updates.

NOW, this is where the database is installed.
      Access this article's attachment entitled install-postgresql.sh. 
      SSH it to your VERDE server. 
      Once it copies, change it to an executable via the following command

ALTER ROLE
Create a new DB that we will use for Verde:

Enter a database name.  I'm typing in verde2


Then you're asked the IP to listen on.  Enter your VERDE server's IP address.  Mine is 192.168.1.12
Then your asked to set the IP range.  Mine is a class C so:   192.168.1.0/24

That part's done!
Now with those setting, populate the following file:

/tmp/dbsettings

with the same values.  Here's my file:

host = 192.168.1.12
port = 5432
dbname = verde2
dbuser = postgres
dbpass = pass



Now, export the next file as follows:

export VERDE_DB_SETTINGS_FILE=/tmp/dbsettings

VERDE Install
Now, move your VERDE rpm's to the server and unzip them.  unzip VERDE*****

And install the rpm's
      yum -y install win4/cut/PKG/VERDE*





Now, run the VERDE configuration as usual.

      /usr/lib/verde/bin/verde-config -i

Finally, you'll need to stop and disable the firewalld

systemctl stop firewalld

systemctl disable firewalld
