RELIANOID Load Balancer Installation

Currently, there is only available package for Debian 12 Bookworm, the installation is not supported out of this operating system.

There are two options to deploy a RELIANOID load balancer: The first is deploying the RELIANOID CE ISO, and the other is deploying a Debian 12 Bookworm image and installing RELIANOID with its dependencies.

ISO

RELIANOID Community Edition ISO is a Debian 12 Bookworm template with RELIANOID already installed. It can be got from the following link, clicking on the "Download ISO image" button.

Installation on Debian 12 Bookworm

If you prefer install RELIANOID yourself, you should get a Debian ISO installable from debian.org. This installation process has been only tested with the 64 bits version.

Please, take into account these requirements before installing the load balancer:

1. Uses 1,6 GB of disk space after installation.

2. Install a fresh and basic Debian 12 Bookworm (64 bits) system with openssh and the basic system tools package recommended during the distribution installation.

3. Configure the load balancer with a static IP address. RELIANOID Load Balancer doesn't support DHCP yet.

4. Configure the apt repositories in order to be able to install some dependencies.

This git repository only contains the source code, the installable packages based in this code are updated in our RELIANOID APT repos, you can use them configuring your Debian 12 Bookworm system as follows:

echo "deb http://repo.relianoid.com/ce/v7 bookworm main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/relianoid.list
wget -O - https://repo.relianoid.com/public/relianoid.asc > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/relianoid.asc

Now, update the local APT database

apt-get update

And finally, install RELIANOID load balancer Community Edition

apt-get install relianoid relianoid-gui
