How To Install Icinga 2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Install Icinga 2 on Ubuntu 18

Icinga 2 is an open source network monitoring system which checks the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting. Its Scalable and extensible, Icinga2 can monitor large, complex environments across multiple locations.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Icinga 2 on an Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver server.

Install Icinga 2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver

Step 1. First, make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2. Install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB and PHP) server.

An Ubuntu 18.04 LAMP server is required. If you do not have a LAMP installed, you can follow our guide here. Also install all required PHP modules:

apt-get install php7.1-cli php7.1-mbstring php7.1-gd php7.1-opcache php7.1-mysql php7.1-json php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-xml php7.1-curl

Step 3. Installing Icinga 2 on Ubuntu 18.04.

First, enable the add-repository feature and add the repository for Icinga with the below commands:
curl -sSL https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.icinga.com/ubuntu icinga-bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/icinga.list

Run update of package list and install Icinga2 packages:

sudo apt-get install icinga2 icingaweb2 icinga2-ido-mysql

Once the installation is complete. Make sure the service is up and running fine:

systemctl status icinga2.service
systemctl enable icinga2.service
systemctl start icinga2.service

Step 4. Installing Nagios Plugins.

Icinga2 will collect the service information based on the monitoring plugins. So, we need to install nagios plugin using below command:

apt-get install monitoring-plugins

Next, you need to install the IDO module which is crucial for the Icinga 2 web interface. It will export all configuration and status information into its database. Execute the following command:

apt install icinga2-ido-mysql

Then restart Icinga 2 for the changes to take effect:

systemctl restart icinga2.service

Once you have enabled the IDO modules, Icinga 2 places the new configuration file at /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf in which we need to update the database credentials manually:

cat /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf

Update the above file shown like below:

[email protected]:~# nano /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf
/**
* The db_ido_mysql library implements IDO functionality
* for MySQL.
*/
library "db_ido_mysql"
object IdoMysqlConnection "ido-mysql" {
user = "icinga2",
password = "icinga123",
host = "localhost",
database = "icinga2"
}

Step 4. Configuring MariaDB for Icinga 2.

By default, MariaDB is not hardened. You can secure MariaDB using the mysql_secure_installation script. You should read and below each step carefully which will set the root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database and access to secure MariaDB.

mysql_secure_installation

Configure it like this:

- Set root password? [Y/n] y
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

Next we will need to log in to the MariaDB console and create a database for the Icinga 2. Run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you for a password, so enter your MariaDB root password and hit Enter. Once you are logged in to your database server, you need to create a database for Icinga 2 installation:

MariaDB [(none)]> create database icinga2;
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on icingaweb.* to icinga2@localhost identified by 'icinga123';
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]> \q

Step 5. Installing Icinga 2 Web.

After creating the database, we can install the Web interface plugin and configure it one by one:

apt-get install icingaweb2

Both Icinga Web 2 and CLI must have access to logs and configurations. Add web server user (www-data) to the system group (icingaweb2):

addgroup --system icingaweb2
usermod -a -G icingaweb2 www-data

Icinga2 will be available on HTTP port 80 by default. Open your favorite browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/icingaweb2/setup or http://server-ip/icingaweb2/setup and complete the required the steps to finish the installation. If you are using a firewall, please open port 80 to enable access to the control panel.

How To Install Apache Hadoop on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Install Apache Hadoop on Ubuntu 18

Apache Hadoop is an open source framework used for distributed storage as well as distributed processing of big data on clusters of computers which runs on commodity hardwares. Hadoop stores data in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and the processing of these data is done using MapReduce. YARN provides an API for requesting and allocating resources in the Hadoop cluster. In this tutorial we will learn how to install Apache Hadoop on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Apache Hadoop on an Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver server.

Install Apache Hadoop on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver

Step 1. First, make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2. Installing Java (OpenJDK).

Since hadoop is based on java, make sure you have java jdk installed on the system. If you don’t have Java installed on your system, use following link to install it first.

Install Java JDK 8 on Ubuntu:


[email protected] ~# java -version
java version "1.8.0_192"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_192-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.74-b02, mixed mode)

Step 3. Installing Apache Hadoop on Ubuntu 18.04.

To avoid security issues, we recommend to setup new Hadoop user group and user account to deal with all Hadoop related activities, following command:

sudo addgroup hadoopgroup
sudo adduser —ingroup hadoopgroup hadoopuser

After creating the user, it also required to set up key based ssh on its own account. To do this use execute following commands:

su - hadoopuser
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
cat /home/hadoopuser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> /home/hadoopuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 authorized_keys
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub slave-1
ssh slave-1

Download the latest stable version of Apache Hadoop, At the moment of writing this article it is version 2.8.1:

wget http://www-us.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/hadoop-3.1.1/hadoop-3.1.1.tar.gz
tar xzf hadoop-3.1.1.tar.gz
mv hadoop-3.1.1 hadoop

Step 4. Configure Apache Hadoop.

Setting up the environment variables. Edit ~/.bashrc file and append following values at end of file:

export HADOOP_HOME=/home/hadoop/hadoop
export HADOOP_INSTALL=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export YARN_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

Apply environmental variables to current running session:

source ~/.bashrc

Now edit $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh file and set JAVA_HOME environment variable:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk1.8.0_192/

Hadoop has many of configuration files, which need to configure as per requirements of your hadoop infrastructure. Let’s start with the configuration with basic Hadoop single node cluster setup:

cd $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop

Edit core-site.xml:

<configuration>
<property>
  <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Edit hdfs-site.xml:

<configuration>
<property>
 <name>dfs.replication</name>
 <value>1</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.name.dir</name>
    <value>file:///home/hadoop/hadoopdata/hdfs/namenode</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
    <value>file:///home/hadoop/hadoopdata/hdfs/datanode</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Edit mapred-site.xml:

<configuration>
 <property>
  <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
   <value>yarn</value>
 </property>
</configuration>

Edit yarn-site.xml:

<configuration>
 <property>
  <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
    <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
 </property>
</configuration>

Now format namenode using the following command, do not forget to check the storage directory:

hdfs namenode -format

Start all hadoop services use the following command:

cd $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/
start-dfs.sh
start-yarn.sh

You should observe the output to ascertain that it tries to start datanode on slave nodes one by one. To check if all services are started well using ‘jps‘ command:

jps

Step 5. Accessing Apache Hadoop.

Apache Hadoop will be available on HTTP port 8088 and port 50070 by default. Open your favorite browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com:50070 or http://server-ip:50070. If you are using a firewall, please open port 8088 and 50070 to enable access to the control panel.

How To Install Varnish Cache on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Varnish Cache on Ubuntu 18

Varnish Cache is a powerful open source HTTP accelerator that can be installed in front of any Webserver such as Apache or Nginx. Varnish Cache can improve overall performance of your web server by caching contents. The Varnish cache stores the copy of user request’s and serves the same page when the user revisits the webpage. It makes your website really fast and accelerate your web site performance up-to 300 – 1000x (means 80% or more).

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Varnish Cache on a Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) server.

Install Varnish Cache on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver

Step 1. First make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2. Install Apache web server.

For this part we will be assuming that you have already installed Apache on your server and have it running properly. If not write this command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install apache2

Step 3. Installing Varnish on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Install Varnish using apt-get command:

apt-get install varnish

After the installation is finished, start and enable varnish.service using the systemctl command:

systemctl start varnish.service
systemctl enable varnish.service

Step 4. Configuring Varnish Cache on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver.

Varnish is automatically configured to server content over port 80 and fetch contents from Apache on port 8080, we need to update Apache to serve content over port 8080:

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080

If you have any virtual hosts configured, you will need to update these as well – ensure your configuration looks like this:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>

We need to configure varnish to run on port 80. First, create a file called varnish.service inside the /etc/systemd/system directory:

### nano /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service

Then, add the following configuration:

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/varnishd -j unix,user=vcache -F -a :80 -T localhost:6082 -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -S /etc/varnish/secret -s malloc,256m

Once you save and exit out of that file, open up the default.vcl file:

### nano /etc/varnish/default.vcl
backend default {
    .host = "127.0.0.1";
    .port = "8080";
}

Restart the Apache and Varnish service for the changes to take effect:

systemctl restart apache2.service
systemctl restart varnish.service

You can check to see if varnish is working by typing the following command:

varnishstat

Step 5. Testing Varnish.

The test consists in making a HTTP request via curl and verifying that it is handled by Varnish:

[[email protected] ~ ]# curl -I 192.168.10.100
 HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
 Date: Mon, 17 March 2018 24:06:10 GMT

sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt install oracle-java8-set-default

Verify the Java version by running the following command:

java -version

Step 2. Installing Apache Tomcat on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

First thing to do is to go to Apache Tomcat’s download page and download the latest stable version of Apache Tomcat, At the moment of writing this article it is version 9:

cd /opt
wget http://www-us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.10/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.10.zip
tar -xvf apache-tomcat-9.0.10.zip
mv apache-tomcat-9.0.8 /opt/tomcat9

Next, Create a directory for Tomcat files:

sudo useradd -r tomcat9 --shell /bin/false

Then give the user control of the directory:

sudo chown -R tomcat9 /opt/tomcat9

Step 3. Configure Apache Tomcat.

Configure Tomcat users so they can access admin/manager sections. You can do this by adding the users in the conf/tomcat-users.xml file with your favorite text editor. Add this text to the file:

nano /opt/tomcat9/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Place the following two lines just above the last line.

<!-- user manager can access only manager section -->
<role rolename="manager-gui" />
<user username="manager" password="_SECRET_PASSWORD_" roles="manager-gui" />

<!-- user admin can access manager and admin section both -->
<role rolename="admin-gui" />
<user username="admin" password="_SECRET_PASSWORD_" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui" />

Next, run the commands below to create a server account for Tomcat:

nano /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service

Add lines below into the file and save:

[Unit]
Description=Tomcat9
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
User=tomcat9
Group=tomcat9
Environment=CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat9/tomcat9.pid

How To Install Apache Subversion on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Install Apache Subversion on Ubuntu 18

Subversion is an open source version control system. It helps you keep track of a collection of files and folders. Any time you change, add or delete a file or folder that you manage with Subversion, you commit these changes to your Subversion repository, which creates a new revision in your repository reflecting these changes. You can always go back, look at and get the contents of previous revisions. SVN supports several protocols for network access: SVN, SVN+SSH, HTTP, HTTPS. If you are behind a firewall, HTTP-based Subversion is advantageous since SVN traffic will go through the firewall without any additional firewall rule setting.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Subversion on a 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) server.

Install Apache Subversion on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver

Step 1. First make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade.

Step 2. Installing Apache web server.

First you need to install Apache web server to access svn server using http urls:

apt-get install apache2

Step 3. Installing Apache Subversion on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Use following command to install subversion packages and there dependencies. Also install svn module for Apache libapache2-mod-svn packages on your system:

apt install subversion subversion-tools libapache2-mod-svn
a2enmod dav
a2enmod dav_svn

Step 4. Configure Apache for Subversion.

Subversion Apache module package creates an configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf. You just need to make necessary changes to it:

### nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

Alias /svn /var/lib/svn
&lt;Location /svn&gt;
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
&lt;/Location&gt;

After making above changes, restart Apache service:

systemctl restart apache2

Step 5. Create First SVN Repository.

Create your first svn repository named firstrepo, You can use any suitable name:

mkdir -p /var/lib/svn/
svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/testrepo
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn
chmod -R 775 /var/lib/sv

Step 6. Create account and password for SVN.

Following commands will add two users for svn. It will prompt for users password to be assigned.

htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd wpcademy
htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd ramona

Let’s restart Apache service again:

systemctl restart apache2
