STINGAR System - ORACLE Installation

This page describes how to install software that STINGAR needs to run on a ORACLE (OL8.0) server.

Install Docker & Python

Log onto the Oracle server as the STINGAR administrative user (has root privs); then install & launch the software required to setup & run STINGAR.

sudo yum update
#sudo yum install docker docker-compose gcc python3 pass -y

sudo yum install -y yum-utils 
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo 
sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl enable containerd.service 

#sudo systemctl enable dockerĀ --now
sudo systemctl start dockerA
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

Setup Docker Group

A system group named 'dockerroot' must include the STINGAR admin user (ie. the user you're currently logged in as). Create a group named 'dockerroot' and add the current user.

sudo groupadd dockerroot
sudo usermod -aG dockerroot ${USER}

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

Note: Use the actual string: ${USER}. This automatically converts to the name of the user who runs the command.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, you must logout & back in.
