 Installing Node.js 

The app that you build uses [Node.JS](https://nodejs.org/) as the server-side engine to run the JavaScript code for this web application. To use the Node Package Manager (npm) to manage your app's dependencies, you must install Node locally. Also, a local installation of Node simplifies testing, speeding up development.

Before you start, you might consider a version manager, like Node Version Manager, or nvm, to install Node. A version manager reduces the complexity of managing different versions of Node.js.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

...or wget (just one is necessary, but not both; use whichever is available on your system):

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

Or, for Windows, you can use [nvm for Windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows) with installers and source code at the link.

Using nvm, install Node.

nvm install v6.17.1

Whichever approach you use after you install Node.js and npm (included with Node) on your computer, congratulate yourself on a job well started!





 Installing Git 

You're probably already familiar with Git, as it's the most widely used source code versioning system. We use Git later when we create a Continuous Deployment (CD) Toolchain in the IBM Cloud Platform for continuous delivery and deployment.
Setting up Hyper-V 

The process of setting up Hyper-V includes the initial configuration of Hyper-V, the creation of a virtual machine, and the network configuration on the new virtual machine. The following guidelines explain these processes.



 Using Hyper-V Manager 

The Hyper-V Manager is the management console that you use to operate Hyper-V. From the Hyper-V Manager you can create, start, stop, delete, and configure all of your virtual machines. The management console is also where you set the default location to store your virtual hard disks and the default location to store your virtual machine configuration files.

You can find Hyper-V Manager under Administrative Tools in the Windows Control Panel. On a new installation of Windows, you can find Administrative Tools under Programs in the Start Menu. After you open the Hyper-V Manager program, a new window appears on the screen. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with this screen. All configurations and use of your virtual machines are done here.





 Configuring Hyper-V 

The first configuration to check is the storage location for your virtual hard disks. From the Hyper-V Manager window, on the left side you see Hyper-V Manager and the server name. Click your server name and you see the information that is available to the Hyper-V service on your server. Now, the middle of the screen is empty since shows that no virtual machines are installed. On the right side of the screen, you see a link for Hyper-V Settings. Clicking the link brings up the basic settings for Hyper-V.

The primary setting that you need to look at is Virtual Hard Disks. On the right side, you see the default location where your virtual hard disks are stored. The default location is:

C:UsersPublicDocumentsHyper-VVirtual Hard Disks

When you create a virtual machine, you can specify a specific place if you do not want to store that specific virtual hard disk in the default location. For example, if you want to store your virtual hard disks on a second, larger drive (Drive D in this example) and you want those virtual drives to be stored in the VirtualMachine folder, enter D:VirtualMachine into the field.
Make sure you have the ISO image of the operating system you want to install, as well as the Gateway software image, and any required licenses.



1. [Access the Gateway Appliances page](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/gateway-appliance?topic=gateway-appliance-viewing-all-gateway-appliancesviewing-all-gateway-appliances) in the IBM Cloud console.
2. Click the Gateway Appliance name for BYOG appliance to access the Gateway Appliance Details page.
3. Click the Remote Management tab on the left side of the page, then make note of the IPMI private IP address and root credentials listed in the Management Details section.
4. Mount and boot your operating system image, then install it using one of the methods explained in [Mounting an ISO on a bare metal server](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/bare-metal?topic=bare-metal-bm-mount-iso).

Use the IPMI private IP address and root credentials from step 2 here.

The server should, by default, boot to the mounted image without the need for a password. Ensure no other media is mounted to the server before proceeding with this step.

For more information on setting up a VPN connection, see [Getting started with IBM Cloud Virtual Private Networking](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iaas-vpn?topic=iaas-vpn-getting-startedgetting-started).



The following is an example of an Ubuntu 18.04 ISO image that has been mounted to the Bring Your Own Appliance's IPMI web interface using the Java iKVM viewer and virtual storage feature.

Why can’t I create a service after I apply a feature code? 

You can recover from issues with creating service after a feature code is applied by following a few easy steps.

  What’s happening 

When you try to create an instance of a service from the catalog, you're prompted to upgrade with a message such as Upgrade your account to create instances of the offering.

  Why it’s happening 

Your account wasn't enabled to create resources of that type after you applied the feature code. The resources or capabilities that are provided vary for each feature code.

  How to fix it 

Contact the person who gave you the feature code to verify the capabilities that it can enable for your account. For example, contact your educational provider for feature codes that they gave you for use with coursework.
They can be installed with the full PostgreSQL package that is provided from [postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org/download/), or as a [package from your operating system's package manager](https://www.compose.com/articles/postgresql-tips-installing-the-postgresql-client/).

For more information about psql, see the [PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html).





 psql Connection Strings 

Connection strings are displayed in the Endpoints panel of your deployment's Overview, and can also be retrieved from the [cloud databases CLI plug-in](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-cli-plugin?topic=databases-cli-plugin-cdb-referencedeployment-connections), and the [API](https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/cloud-databases-apidiscover-connection-information-for-a-deployment-f-e81026).

The information that you need to make a connection with psql is in the "cli" section of your connection strings. The table contains a breakdown for reference.



Table 1. psql/cli connection information

 Field Name Index Description 

 Bin The recommended binary to create a connection; in this case it is psql. 
 Composed A formatted command to establish a connection to your deployment. The command combines the Bin executable, Environment variable settings, and uses Arguments as command-line parameters. 
 Environment A list of key/values you set as environment variables. 
 Arguments 0... The information that is passed as arguments to the command shown in the Bin field. 
 Certificate Base64 A self-signed certificate that is used to confirm that an application is connecting to the appropriate server. It is base64 encoded. 
 Certificate Name The allocated name for the self-signed certificate. 
 Type The type of package that uses this connection information; in this case cli.

Use a build tool such as docker build to make your required modifications to the base. You can use Ubuntu to install these tools on a Hyper Protect Virtual Server if you don't have access to a system that runs on the IBM Z platform (s390x architecture), or you can't cross build your image. To install Docker on your Hyper Protect Virtual Server, run apt update && apt install -y docker.io. Be aware of these hints when you build your image:



* The maximum allowed image size is 5 GB.
* Set the entrypoint and command that is used to start the OCI image during the image build because these parameters can’t be configured afterward to provision your virtual server.
* IBM Cloud® Registry namespaces and Docker Hub organizations with a - in the name are not permitted.
* The OCI image content is available on the virtual server boot disk that is mounted as /. If you need to use persistent storage, use the /data mount point.
* If you want to use systemd in your image, make sure you set the start command to /sbin/init and configure the environment variable RUNQ_SYSTEMD=1.
* The virtual server gets its own IP address, which means that all open ports are automatically mapped on the internal and public network. Make sure you restrict network access in your image to only the ports you require. EXPOSE rules from the image build are not applied.
* The image must be tagged according to the following format to later “push” the image to the registry: <registry url>/<namespace>/<name>:<tag> where:



* registry url: Within ICR: An example is de.icr.io, or for DockerHub: docker.io.
* namespace: Is the [namespace created](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-getting-startedgs_registry_namespace_add) in the IBM Cloud Container Registry, see also step 4 of this procedure.
* name: Is the unique name for the repository (one repository can have multiple images that differ by the tag).
* tag: Is the unique tag for the image.

* Can I use an instance that has placement group strategy within an instance group?

Yes, you can use instances that are provisioned with a placement group strategy within an instance group. The instance template includes the placement group attribute. Any instances that are started within an instance group that has a specified placement group is placed according to the placement group strategy. Placement groups allow instances from multiple zones to allow instance groups to support instances with subnets that span multiple zones.
* Can I resize an instance that is part of a placement group?

Yes, you can resize an instance that is part of a placement group. When an instance is resized, the instance is stopped, the profile is updated, and the instance is restarted. When the instance is restarted, the instance is placed according to the placement group strategy.
* Can I provision an instance with both a placement group strategy and a dedicate host placement at the same time?

No, placement groups and dedicated host are mutually exclusive. An instance can be provisioned with one or the other, not both.
* Can instances that are provisioned in different zones be assigned to the same placement group?

Yes, instances that are provisioned in different zones can be placed into the same placement group for both the host spread and power spread placement group strategies.
* Do I need to create a VPC before I can create a file share?

 Do I need to create a VPC before I can create a file share? 

No. You can create a file share independent of a VPC. However, to create a mount target, you must have a VPC available. To mount a file share, you must provision a virtual server instance within that VPC.
* I have existing VPCs. Can I create a file share within that VPC?

 I have existing VPCs. Can I create a file share within that VPC? 

Yes.

Repeat the preceding steps to add the Legacy Network Adapter. However, select Public. After the new legacy network is added, click OK.







 Installing a guest Operating System 

The virtual machine is now ready to be started. Right-click the virtual machine and select Connect. The virtual machine console opens. From the Action menu, select Start. The new virtual machine starts by using the installation media that you selected. Now, you run through the operating system installation. During the OS installation process, it is recommended that you configure the public network settings. The public network is the second network interface. When the OS installation is complete, you have a working virtual machine. If a public network is configured, you can access the virtual machine remotely.

The final step in the installation process is configuring the private network. If the virtual machine is not connected to the private network, the installation process is complete. For more information about configuring the private network, see [Setting up a virtual machine network](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/virtualization?topic=virtualization-setting-up-a-virtual-machine-network).
An optional step is included to [install the Ansible NSX-T collections](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-veeam-cr-sag-ansibleveeam-cr-sag-ansible-nsxt). The optional step is needed only if Ansible® is used to create sandboxes.



 Installing Ansible 

At a command line on the automation server, run the following commands.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible -y
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
ansible --version

These commands are used for the following items:



* Refresh the system’s package index.
* Install the Ansible® software.
* Install the pip package that is required for the use if WinRM with Ansible.
* Verify that Ansible is installed.







 Adding Ansible collections 

Ansible collections are extra modules. In this deployment, use the following commands to add the required collections:

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general
ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.windows
ansible-galaxy collection install community.windows
ansible-galaxy collection install juniper.device
ansible-galaxy collection install junipernetworks.junos

The juniper.device and junipernetworks.junos collections are required only if you are building an isolated recovery environment.





 Creating an Ansible inventory file 



1. Create a directory structure for the Ansible files and create an initial inventory file to test Ansible connections to the Ansible hosts. Use the following commands, when connected as the ansible user:

sudo mkdir /swlib
sudo mkdir /swlib/ansible
2. Create an inventory file called hosts that has two groups: [LHBR] and [VBR], with the IP addresses or FQDN of the Linux® hardened repository and Veeam® backup server:

touch /swlib/ansible/hosts
vi /swlib/ansible/hosts





 Examples 

A hosts file for the immutable backup.
