Installing On-Prem
Here is how you can get started:
Quickstart, for when you don't have Juju but quickly want to check out On-Prem:
sudo add-apt-repository -u ppa:landscape/18.03
sudo apt-get install landscape-server-quickstartJuju deployed for a truly scalable deployment. Using bundles, for example:
sudo apt-get install juju
- Now select your bundle:
landscape-dense-maas: if you have the MAAS provider, you can deploy all the services using containers:
juju deploy cs:bundle/landscape-dense-maas-10
landscape-scalable: each service gets its own machine. Currently that means you will need 4 machines for Landscape, and one for the controller node:
juju deploy cs:bundle/landscape-scalable-1
Once the deployment has finished, grab the address of the first haproxy unit and access it with your browser:
juju status haproxy
Manual installation: for when you don't have a suitable Juju environment but need a scalable deployment.
