Linux Repository Server Silent Installation

1 minute read

This installation example installs a CloudBees Flow repository server, an agent, and CloudBees Flow tools. Review Before You Install CloudBees Flow before performing this procedure.

Enter:

chmod +x ./CloudBeesFlow-<version>

./CloudBeesFlow-<version>
--mode silent
--installRepository
--installAgent
--unixAgentUser <agent_user>
--unixAgentGroup <agent_group>
--unixServerUser <server_user>
--unixServerGroup <server_group>
--remoteServer <existing_<cloudbees-flow-server>>
▼

Where:

  • <server_user> is the user who owns the CloudBees Flow server, repository server, and web server processes.

  • <server_group> is the group who owns the CloudBees Flow server, repository server, and web server processes.

  • <agent_user> is the user who owns the CloudBees Flow agent process.

  • <agent_user> is the group that owns the CloudBees Flow agent process.
