RedHat8¶

Before installation¶

Please note that PostgreSQL YUM repository and Faraday, depend on EPEL repository for some packages. Users with RHEL, CentOS, etc. should install EPEL repo RPM along with PGDG repo RPMs to satisfy dependencies. In order to do that, follow these instructions:

If you are using RHEL, first run the following command:

Install EPEL using the following command:

yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

Refresh repo by typing the following command:

yum repolist

RedHat8 Installation Guide for PostgreSQL¶

Install PostgreSQL >= 9.6 (local or remote). Follow the Postgres installation guide for Redhat: Postgres(RedHat)
Download Faraday installer (.rpm)
- GitHub for Community Edition
- Faraday Portal for Professional/Corporate
Go to your Download directory and run the following command
```
sudo yum install ./faraday-server_amd64.rpm
```
If PostgreSQL is running in a remote machine please follow these instructions, if instead, it is running locally, you need to open the pg_hba.conf file.

There, you need to modify the localhost authentication type from "ident" to "md5". To do this, change host IPV4 local and IPV6 local from "ident" to "md5".

Go to the file:

$ nano /var/lib/pgsql/POSTGRESQL_VERSION/data/pg_hba.conf

Edit the following lines:

# IPv4 local connections:
host all         all 127.0.0.1/32       md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all         all ::1/128       md5

Once installed, add your user to the faraday group and re-login
```
sudo usermod -aG faraday $USER
```
Restart PostgreSQL server and initialize the database(first time only)
This will generate a random password, use it for Faraday Web UI and change it

sudo systemctl restart postgresql-XX

sudo faraday-manage initdb

Important: In case of being in a SELinux environment run prior to the checks:

sudo setenforce 0

Redis install¶

sudo dnf install redis

Importing License¶

Step 1¶

Import license from Faraday Portal

faraday-manage import-license

In case of offline environment, check import license on Install Guide Advanced

Step 2¶

systemctl start faraday-server
systemctl enable faraday-server

systemctl start faraday-worker
systemctl enable faraday-worker

systemctl start faraday-worker-reports
systemctl enable faraday-worker-reports
