Installation

For those looking for enhanced performance, superior workflow management, efficient operations, and robust data security, On-Premise emerges as an exceptional solution. You’re in control of your data during any changes or updates, and it all happens within your custom server. This ensures that there are no other requests, except for the applications you are integrating. Thus, On-Premise offers a compelling blend of power and privacy.

Installation steps

  1. Open your terminal and sign in to the machine as a root user.

    • Use the SSH command and replace youripaddress with the hostname or IP address of the server:

ssh root@youripaddress

  1. Enter your password:

    • You’ll be prompted to enter your password for the specified username

  2. Download Getint files:

    • Getint will provide these. Use the command wget + the link to the files to download the installation package

    • Use the command ls -al to see the files in the current directory, and ensure the zip files are located there

  3. Extract the files

    • Use the unzip command to extract Getint files in the directory. For instance, it should be like this: unzip getint-1.58.zip

    • Run apt install unzip to download an unzip tool if you don’t have one

  4. Switch to the Getint directory

    • After the installation, switch the directory to the new Getint folder by running cd getint

    • Now enter cd synchronizer to open the Getint installation folder

  5. Make sure you have the necessary tools to run Getint

    • Install Java if it isn’t available on your machine. Enter the command apt install default-jre and press Y then Enter when prompted. Press ctrl + c to return to the directory.

    • Make sure Java is now installed with the command java --version

  6. Running Getint

    • Use the command ./manager.sh start to launch Getint. Press ctrl + c to close the logs and return to the directory

    • Check if Getint is up and running in the background by using the command ps -aux | grep getint

  7. Accessing Getint

    • These are the credentials you can use to log into Getint via your browser:

      • Username: admin

      • Password: admin

    • Open the browser and type the URL which is the machine’s IP address. Alternatively, if you have any domain name assigned to the machine on which Getint is installed, you can type that domain name

    • Other commands you can use to manage your instance:

      • ./manager.sh stop stops the integration, so you won’t be able to access it until you start it again

      • ./manager.sh restart restarts the integration in case you have made some changes to the directory

Getint will start on port 80 by default. If port 80 is already in use, change it with the command vim getint.env

After switching ports, use the command cat getint.env to see the current port in use.

Here’s a video tutorial that demonstrates how to install the On-Premise version.

Docker - Docker-compose installation

The initial steps are similar to installing Getint on your dedicated machine, but they have remarkable differences in how the app is installed and fully executed. Ultimately, it will depend on your server requirements.

As Docker is a separate tool, please ensure it is installed on your machine before running Getint. Otherwise, Getint won’t start, and your terminal will pop up an error.

  1. Open your terminal and sign in to the machine as a root user.

    • Use the SSH command and replace youripaddress with the hostname or IP address of the server:

ssh root@youripaddress

  1. Enter your password:

    • You’ll be prompted to enter your password for the specified username

  2. Download Getint files:

    • Getint will provide these. Use the command wget + the link to the files to download the installation package

    • Use the command ls -al to see the files in the current directory, and ensure the zip files are located there

  3. Extract the files

    • Run apt install unzip to download an unzip tool if you don’t have one

    • Use the unzip command to extract Getint files in the directory. For instance, it should be like this: unzip getint-1.58.zip

  4. Switch to the Getint directory

    • After the installation, switch the directory to the new Getint folder by running cd getint

    • Now enter cd synchronizer to open the Getint installation folder

    • Use the command cd docker, and then cd scripts

  5. Installing docker if it isn't installed on your machine

    • The installation path will depend on the tool you’re using. For example, we’re using Ubuntu 20, and the installation package is available here: Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu. However, if you’re using a different distribution, click on Docker Engine, then click on Install, and locate your distribution under this page. After the installation, use the command docker version to ensure the tool is installed

  1. Installing docker-compose on your machine

    • It is also necessary to have docker-compose as our installation will consist of the PostgreSQL database, Nginx, and the Getint app. After the installation, use the command docker-compose version to ensure the tool is installed

    • Docker-compose standalone is available here: Install Compose standalone

  2. Running Getint

    • While in the scripts folder, enter the command sh start.sh to launch Getint

    • Ensure Getint is running in the background by using the command docker container ls

  3. Accessing Getint

    • These are the credentials you can use to log into Getint via your browser:

      • Username: admin

      • Password: admin

    • Open the browser and type the URL which is the machine’s IP address. Alternatively, if you have any domain name assigned to the machine on which Getint is installed, you can type that domain name

    • Other commands you can use to manage your instance:

      • sh stop.sh

      • sh restart.sh

Getint will start on port 80 by default. If port 80 is already in use, change it with the command vim ../docker-compose.yaml

After switching ports, use the command docker container ls to see the current port in use.
