OMERO.web installation scripts

Example of OMERO.web installation scripts for Linux: CentOS7, CentOS8, Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, Debian 9 and 10. These scripts are provided to help new users with installing OMERO.web for the first time on a clean system, and can be used as the basis for more advanced configurations.

Read the OMERO System Administrator Documentation https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/latest/omero/sysadmins/index.html, especially the sections on requirements and installation, before using these scripts.

The Linux scripts should automatically download all required files.

The scripts will only work locally due to the usage of {{playbook_dir}}. This ensures that the generated documentation will be created in the same location regardless of the version of Ansible installed.

Prerequisites

pip install -r requirements.txt

Building

ansible-playbook ./ansible/omeroweb-install.yml -i ./ansible/hosts/centos7-ice3.6

to clean up existing scripts:

ansible-playbook ./ansible/omeroweb-install.yml -i ./ansible/hosts/centos7-ice3.6 --extra-vars "clean=True"

Scripts are autogenerated using ansible, that means they can build directly on the remote host. Create your own copy of inventory, e.g. ansible/hosts/centos7-ice3.6 and define a list of hosts

cat << EOF > /path/to/hosts/centos7-ice3.6
[centos7-ice3.6]
omeroweb1.example.com ansible_port=22 ansible_host=omeroweb1.example.com ansible_user=username ansible_ssh_pass=secret
EOF

ansible-playbook ./ansible/omeroweb-install.yml -i /path/to/hosts/centos7-ice3.6

Extra vars arguments:

ARG	default	optional	example
web_port	80
web_prefix			/omero
web_server_name			omero.example.com
web_session	False	True	False
clean	False	True	False

example usage:

ansible-playbook ./ansible/omeroweb-install.yml -i ./hosts/centos7-ice3.6 --extra-vars "web_prefix=/omero web_server_name=IP_GOES_HERE web_port=80"

Running

Environment variables:

VAR	default	optional	example
WEBPORT	80
WEBPREFIX			/omero
WEBSERVER_NAME			omero.example.com
WEBSESSION	False	True	False

and run for example

on Ubuntu 18.04:

./ansible/omeroweb-install-ubuntu1804-ice3.6
./ansible/ubuntu1804-ice3.6/run

on CentOS 7:

./ansibleomeroweb-install-centos7-ice3.6

To run installation scripts on a remote host:

$ ssh bob@hostname
$ mv centos7-ice3.6 omeroweb-install-centos7-ice3.6 /tmp/
$ sudo /tmp/omeroweb-install-centos7-ice3.6  ## absolute path is required

Testing in DOCKER

These tests are only for CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian deployments. Unfortunately there is no docker container for Mac OS X installation scripts

OS=centos7 ICEVER=3.6 WEBPREFIX=/omero .travis/before_install.sh
OS=centos7 ICEVER=3.6 WEBPREFIX=/omero DOCKER=true TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux .travis/install.sh
OS=centos7 ICEVER=3.6 WEBPREFIX=/omero DOCKER=true TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux .travis/script.sh 

To test remote build set ANSIBLE=true Note: make sure you always set DOCKER=true when running local test. Otherwise it will attempt to install OMERO.web on you local machine

Note: running tests on Mac OS X requires Docker for Mac (Docker Toolbox is not supported)
