Installing the management server

Prerequisites

To install the management server in a Docker container, you need the following files:

• AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh

• The Docker image of the management server

  The procedure below uses acronisbackup17ams_41023.image as an example.

To install the management server in a Docker container

1. Load the Docker image for the management server.

   Input template

    docker load -i /<path>/<image file>

   Input example

   sudo docker load -i ./acronisbackup17ams_41023.image
   

2. Open the AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh file for editing and ensure that the script uses the correct image name and build number.

   In this example, acronisbackup17ams:41023.

   1 #! /bin/bash
   2
   3 DOCKER_IMAGE=acronisbackup17ams:41023

3. If necessary, edit the script, and then save the AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh file.

4. Assign the execute permission to the AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh file, and then run it.

   Input template

   chmod +x /<path>/AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh
   

   /<path>/AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh

   Input example

   sudo chmod +x ./AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh
   

   sudo ./AB_AMS_prepare_env_ams.sh

5. Start a new Docker service to create the container with Acronis Management Server.

   Input template

   sudo docker service create -p 9877:9877 -p 7780:7780 --ulimit nofile=50000:50000 --name="ams" --mount target="/var/log",source="AcronisAMS_var_log" --mount target="/opt/acronis",source="AcronisAMS_opt_acronis" --mount target="/etc",source="AcronisAMS_etc" --mount target="/usr/sbin",source="AcronisAMS_usr_sbin" --mount target="/var/lib/Acronis",source="AcronisAMS_var_lib_acronis" --mount target="/usr/lib/Acronis",source="AcronisAMS_usr_lib_acronis" --mount target="/usr/pgsql-15",source="AcronisAMS_usr_pgsql"   --secret src=ams_masterkey,target="/var/lib/Acronis/CredStore/masterkey.local" --secret="ams_masterkey" "<image:build>"

   Input example

   sudo docker service create -p 9877:9877 -p 7780:7780 --ulimit nofile=50000:50000 --name="ams" --mount target="/var/log",source="AcronisAMS_var_log" --mount target="/opt/acronis",source="AcronisAMS_opt_acronis" --mount target="/etc",source="AcronisAMS_etc" --mount target="/usr/sbin",source="AcronisAMS_usr_sbin" --mount target="/var/lib/Acronis",source="AcronisAMS_var_lib_acronis" --mount target="/usr/lib/Acronis",source="AcronisAMS_usr_lib_acronis" --mount target="/usr/pgsql-15",source="AcronisAMS_usr_pgsql"   --secret src=ams_masterkey,target="/var/lib/Acronis/CredStore/masterkey.local" --secret="ams_masterkey" "acronisbackup17ams:41023"

   At the end of this command, you must use an image name and build number that depend on the image file.

   In the example above, these are acronisbackup17ams:41023. To check them for your image, run the docker images command, and then see the REPOSITORY and TAG columns.

   Input example

   sudo docker images

   Output example

   # REPOSITORY            TAG     IMAGE ID        CREATED       SIZE
   # acronisbackup17ams    41023   2deb8b4b25f9    About an hour ago 3.05GB

6. Enter the container, and then set the password for the root user.

   1. Check the container ID.

      Input example

      sudo docker service ps -a

      Output example

      # CONTAINER ID     IMAGE                      COMMAND                   CREATED         STATUS        PORTS               NAMES 
      # bfb9d14d4879     acronisbackup17ams:41023   "/bin/bash -c'/opt/..."   2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes  7780/tcp, 9877/tcp  ams.1.ko7xklvta28rasyukn6kic1ka

   2. Enter the container.

      Input template

      docker exec -it <container ID> bash

      Input example

      sudo docker exec -it bfb9d14d4879 bash

   3. Set the password for the root user.

      Input template

      echo root:<your_new_root_password> | chpasswd

      Input example

      sudo echo root:MyPassword | chpasswd

7. Log in as the root user to the Cyber Protect console at http://ip_docker_host:9877.

   In this example, the credentials are root/MyPassword.
