Docker
This instruction shows how to install the HES server using docker containers on Linux. Examples of commands are given for CentOS 7 and Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04) , other versions of the Linux was not tested.
First of all, you need to decide what URL will be for your future HES server. It can be something like hideez.yurcompany.com. Hereinafter, this name is indicated as <your_domain_name>. You can copy this instruction into any text editor and replace all instances of the <your_domain_name> with your name. After that, you can execute most of the commands just copying them from the editor.
You need to add your domain name to the DNS settings of your hosting provider.
You can also always refer to the official installation documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install
CentOS
$ sudo yum install -y yum-utils
$ sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
$ sudo yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl enable docker
in case of unsuccessful installation, on Centos, you may need to remove some packages
$ sudo yum remove runc podman buildah -y
and retry the installation
Ubuntu
# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg -y
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
"deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
"$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
# Install docker
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
To verify installed docker version run the following command:
$ docker --version
Docker version 24.0.6, build ed223bc
and docker compose:
$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.21.0
We have prepared an archive with a template for building containers
$ cd ~
$ curl -O https://update.hideez.com/hes/docker_latest.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf docker_latest.tar.gz
$ sudo mv HES /opt/
$ cd /opt/HES/
$ sudo docker build . -t hes
During operation, HES uses an encryption certificate that will be generated in the /opt/hes/hes-site/x509stores directory Since the server will run under the "root" user inside the container, you need to change the owner of the certificate directory:
$ sudo chown root.root /opt/HES/hes-site/x509stores
and load the containers:
sudo docker compose up -d
Currently, HES can work with two databases: MySQL or MS SQL. By default, we use My SQL, but if you want to switch to MS SQL, you will need to perform a few additional steps, which will be described below
Skip this step, if you use a MySQL database
So, first you need to tweak the file
/opt/HES/docker-compose.ymlWe have prepared a template for the yml file to work with the MS SQL container. Just run the rename command:
$ sudo mv /opt/HES/docker-compose.mssql /opt/HES/docker-compose.yml
You need to find the text in this file
SA_PASSWORD: C00ll_Passwrd_hereand set your SA user password instead of 'C00ll_Passwrd_here'. We will later need this password to create a user and HES database
Start MS SQL container only:
$ sudo docker-compose up -d hes-mssql
Use the docker exec -it command to start an interactive bash shell inside your running container
$ sudo docker exec -it hes-mssql /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P "C00ll_Passwrd_here"
instead of "C00ll_Passwrd_here", enter your password here, which you specified in the
/opt/HES/docker-compose.yml fileThe following sections walk you through using sqlcmd and Transact-SQL to create a new database and user.
> CREATE LOGIN [user] WITH PASSWORD = 'user_password';
> GO
> CREATE DATABASE db;
> GO
> USE db;
> GO
> CREATE USER [user] from login [user];
> GO
> GRANT CONTROL ON DATABASE::db TO [user];
> GO
Сhange <user_password> with your real password
You should remember the user password, it will come in handy later.
To exit from the Transact-SQL console, press Ctrl+C.
Now you need to tweak the file
/opt/HEL/hes-site/appsettings.Production.json with wizard:sudo docker exec -it hes-site ./HES.Wizard
Open the
/opt/HES/nginx/nginx.conf file for editing. Uncoment and replace all instances of <your_domain_name> with your name.Finally, when config files updated and certificate ready you can run the server:
$ cd /opt/HES
$ sudo docker compose up -d
You can check the status of the docker containers running the command:
$ sudo docker compose ps
Name Command State Ports
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hes-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh --def ... Up 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp,:::3306->3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
hes-nginx /docker-entrypoint.sh ngin ... Up 0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp,:::443->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp,:::80->80/tcp
hes-site ./HES.Web Up 5000/tcp
To make sure that everything is configured correctly, open the URL of your site in a browser (
https://<your_domain_name>). You should see the server authorization page. Log in using the default login 'admin@server' and default password 'admin'.In case you cannot log in to the HES, see log files located in '/opt/HES/hes-site/logs'
