Requirements

SEAL Systems recommends installing SEAL Operator on a separate server and not on the server of the backend system. Also, SEAL Operator should not be installed on the management server on which easyPRIMA and Elastic Stack are running as another version of MongoDB is installed there.

Hint - active virus scanner

An active virus scanner may slow down the installation.

Server Requirements

  • To install SEAL Operator, administrator privileges are required.

  • No DNS server is active on the server.

  • A Java Runtime Environment version OpenJDK 8 or 11 has been installed on the server. For how to install Java and set the required environment variables, refer to SEAL Online Service.

  • An OIDC identity provider is installed. SEAL Systems provides a preconfigured Keycloak installer for test purposes. In practice, another OIDC identity provider already installed at the customer's will be used for the user authentication and authorization. For detailed instructions regarding Keycloak or another OIDC identity provider to be used with SEAL Systems products, refer to the SEAL Interfaces for OIDC documentation.

  • MongoDB as of version 3.6.17 has to be installed. On SLES 15, the version 4.4. has to be installed due to the version 3.x is not available for SLES 15.

    Hint - separate installation

    As of SEAL Operator 1.3.0, MongoDB is no longer included in the installation of SEAL Operator. For how to install and configure MongoDB, refer to the SEAL-specific MongoDB documentation.

  • The SEAL Operator CLI commands for managing the services execute bash scripts. For this, the logged-on user has to be member of the sudoers list.

  • The SEAL NATS message broker as of version 2.9.2 has to be installed on the SEAL Operator server before installing SEAL Operator. For more information about the SEAL NATS installation, refer to the SEAL NATS documentation.
