Installing Sepio on a Virtual Appliance

This topic provides a step-by-step procedure on how to install and deploy Sepio on a virtual appliance.
An OVF file is provided for use as a virtual appliance in VMware environments. You can use a pre-installed hardened virtual appliance and import it to any VMware virtual environment.

Step 1: Import a Virtual Machine

  1. Import into the virtual environment the OVF and VMDK files provided by Sepio. The default credentials for the virtual machine are:

Username: hac1admin

Password: Sep!oSyst5ms

  1. Change the default account credentials after installation is complete.

Step 2: Edit the Configuration File

The config.env file is located in /home/version-17.2306.xxx. This file defines the Sepio configuration, therefore its parameters must be set correctly.
The default parameter values appear as comments in the file.
Edit the config.env file by setting the following parameters:
  1. TZ – Time zone for the server (e.g., TZ=America/New_York). For the full list of time zones, refer to list of tz database time zones.
  2. PRIME_HOST_NAME – The Sepio (Platform Management) server hostname

Step 3: Install the Platform Management

  1. Make sure the installation script is executable: sudo chmod +x update-scriptV.sh
  1. Run the installation script as follows: sudo ./update-scriptV<version number>.sh
The installation process creates the necessary directories and downloads the installation files from the appropriate public repositories. Once the installation is complete, the system components are activated, and the running containers are generated as output.


Installing Sepio on Customer Owned Hardware and Software

When mandated by regulatory or compliance requirements, you can install the Sepio Platform on-premises, with or without Internet connectivity, including air-gapped environments.
There are two main installation modes suitable for on-premises deployments:

Online Installation

  1. Ideal for environments where the Platform Management has an Internet connection.
  2. All installation files are downloaded and installed automatically.

Offline Installation

  1. Ideal for environments where the Platform Management lacks Internet connectivity.
  2. Operating system dependencies are listed below.
  3. All installation files are provided by Sepio and uploaded to the Platform Management.
  4. Dependencies: Docker and Docker Compose.
