CFEngine Hub Install by nickanderson

Step 1 - Configure the host

First lets ensure that the hostname we request when accessing Mission Portal resolves correctly.

sudo bash -c "echo 127.0.0.1 [[HOST_SUBDOMAIN]]-443-[[KATACODA_HOST]].environments.katacoda.com >> /etc/hosts"

Next we ensure this is the hosts fqdn so that ssl certificates generated during install will match.

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname [[HOST_SUBDOMAIN]]-443-[[KATACODA_HOST]].environments.katacoda.com

Step 2 - Install Package

Download and install the Ubuntu Hub Package. We will use the use the quick install script. It installs the most recent LTS version of CFEngine Enterprise by default.

Download the script:

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/cfengine.packages/quick-install-cfengine-enterprise.sh

Let's install the the 3.11 version to see whats new!

sudo CFEngine_Enterprise_Package_Version="3.11.0" bash ./quick-install-cfengine-enterprise.sh hub

Step 3 - Bootstrap Hub

Bootstrap the hub to itself:

sudo /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent --bootstrap [[HOST_SUBDOMAIN]]-443-[[KATACODA_HOST]].environments.katacoda.com

Run the policy to complete the installation:

sudo /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent --no-lock --inform

Step 4 - Collect Reports

Within the next few minutes the hub will collect the reports from the prior policy run and Mission Portal will be populated with data. Let's speed this up by manually collecting the reports.

sudo cf-hub -q delta -H $(hostname -f) -v

Step 5 - Log in to Mission Portal

Then log into Mission Portal Inital login creds admin/admin.

NOTE: you will get a Bad Gateway error during initial login, re-visit the main url and complete the password change in order to log in.
