Installing Medulla on Linux

Prerequisites: 

The Medulla installation script supports the Debian (Bookworm) distribution.

You must have a machine with:

• at least 8 GB of available RAM,
• at least 40 GB of free disk space for / and 200 GB for /var.

Verify that your /etc/hosts file is properly configured with the full FQDN.

For example, if the machine is named medulla and the domain is named domain.lan, the /etc/hosts file must contain a line like this:

127.0.1.1    medulla.domain.lan    medulla

Verify that the /etc/resolv.conf file is properly configured and that the machine is connected to the internet.

Installing the Medulla server:

To install the Medulla server: Use a user with sudo privileges to run the installation script and playbook.

1- Transfer the script to the server. 

2- Set execute permissions on the file:  

type: chmod +x install_from_ansible.py

3- Start the server installation: 

./install_from_ansible.py

Wait for the installation process to finish; a summary will display all the necessary passwords (copy them to a safe place).
