Set up the repositories RHEL#

Deprecated: Use installation playbooks instead

Instructions to manually install and upgrade EclecticIQ Intelligence Center, and using rundoc to install or upgrade EclecticIQ Intelligence Center, are deprecated.

Use EclecticIQ Intelligence Center installation playbooks instead.

By the end of this guide, you would have set up the Yum repositories required to install the Intelligence Center (IC).

✅ You need to run commands in this guide as root. To gain root-level access in your shell, run: sudo -i.

Environment variables#

The scripts in this page depend on the environment variables listed in this section.

✅ Set environment variables by running export <variable_name>=<value>.

For example, to set eiq_repo_user, run: export eiq_repo_user="my_username"

Repository credentials#

Set up environment variables to store your EclecticIQ credentials:

⚠ Caution: You must URL-encode the credential values set here.

eiq_repo_user=
eiq_repo_pass=
extensions_repo_user=
extensions_repo_password=

Env. variable	Description
`eiq_repo_user`	Set this to your https://downloads.eclecticiq.com account user name.
`eiq_repo_pass`	Set this to your https://downloads.eclecticiq.com account password.
`extensions_repo_user`	User account for the extensions repository. By default, set this to the same value as `eiq_repo_user`.
`extensions_repo_pass`	Password for your extensions repository user account. By default, set this to the same value as `eiq_repo_pass`

Repository paths#

Set up the following environment variables to specify repository paths:

repos_protocol=https
repos_root=downloads.eclecticiq.com
repos_component=3.2
platform_repo_path=platform-packages-centos
platform_deps_path=intelligence-center-dependencies-rpm
ic_deps_path=intelligence-center-dependencies-rpm
key_path=public

Env. variable	Description
`repos_protocol`	Set to `https` by default.
`repos_root`	Set to `downloads.eclecticiq.com`.
`repos_component`	Set to the target version of the IC.
`platform_repo_path`	Repository name for IC packages. Set to `platform-packages-centos`.
`platform_deps_path`	Repository name for IC 3rd party dependencies packages. Set to `intelligence-center-dependencies-rpm`. NOTE: This is for IC versions 3.0.x and later.
`ic_deps_path`	Repository name for additional IC dependencies. Set to `intelligence-center-dependencies-rpm`
`key_path`	Path to directory on `repos_root` that contains EclecticIQ public keys. Set to `public/GPG-KEY-eclecticiq` by default.

Extensions repository paths#

Set up the following environment variables for installing extensions:

extensions_repo_protocol=https
extensions_repo_domain=downloads.eclecticiq.com
extensions_repo_path=Extensions
extensions_packages=eclecticiq-extension-all~=3.2.0

Env. variable	Description
`extensions_repo_protocol`	Set to `https` by default.
`extensions_repo_domain`	Set to `downloads.eclecticiq.com`
`extensions_repo_path`	Location of the extensions repository on `extensions_repo_domain`. Set to `Extensions` by default.
`extensions_packages`	Set to `eclecticiq-extensions-all~=<IC_minor_ver>` by default. NOTE: Extension versions should match the IC’s minor version, but not the patch version. For example, when installing IC `2.9.2`, the `<IC_minor_ver>` here should be set to `2.9` and not `2.9.2`. Setting the patch version (e.g. `2.9.2`) may cause some extensions to fail to install.

Set up repository configuration files#

Run the commands in the following sections to set up the configuration files for EclecticIQ repositories.

Make sure you’ve set up the environment variables above before running these commands.

Set up the pip repository#

Set up your host’s PIP configuration to install packages from the extensions_repo_domain.

mkdir -p /opt/eclecticiq-platform-backend/
cat << EOF > /opt/eclecticiq-platform-backend/pip.conf
[global]
index-url = ${extensions_repo_protocol}://${extensions_repo_domain}/${extensions_repo_path}/
find-links = ${extensions_repo_protocol}://${extensions_repo_domain}/${extensions_repo_path}/
EOF

cat << EOF > ~/.netrc
machine ${extensions_repo_domain} login ${extensions_repo_user:-$eiq_repo_user} password ${extensions_repo_password:-$eiq_repo_pass}
EOF
chmod 0600 ~/.netrc

Set up the YUM repositories#

Set up Yum repositories for the IC so that you can manage IC packages using yum or dnf.

This procedure consists of the following steps:

Remove obsolete repositories
Create .repo file for general dependencies
Create .repo file for IC Python 3.8 packages
Create the YUM repository files for the IC

Remove obsolete repositories#

If you are upgrading an existing platform installation, begin by removing obsolete repositories:

# Remove old repos
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/platform-centos.repo
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/platform-centos-deps.repo
yum clean all

Create `.repo` file for general dependencies#

Run the following command to create a .repo file for general IC dependencies:

cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/platform-3rd-party-dependencies-rocky8.repo

cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/platform-packages-centos.repo
[platform-packages-centos]
name=platform-packages-centos
baseurl=${repos_protocol}://${repos_root}/${platform_repo_path}/${repos_component}

gpgkey=${repos_protocol}://${repos_root}/${key_path}/GPG-KEY-eclecticiq
EOF

Refresh Yum cache#

Finally, run the following command to refresh the Yum cache:

yum makecache
