Back up Deploy

This topic provides information about how to backup Deploy server.

Basic install

This topic describes how to perform a basic installation of Deploy - either a simple setup with the default configuration, or a manual setup in which you can choose specific options. If you are installing Deploy in a production-ready environment that includes options like a separate, clustered database server, load balancing for your Deploy servers, an active/hot-standby cluster configuration for your Deploy servers, and other security, monitoring, and performance considerations, see Production install.

Configure active/hot-standby mode

This topic covers the high availability (HA) configuration in Deploy. To support high availability (HA), you can configure Deploy in clustered active/hot-standby mode. In this mode, only one Deploy node is active at one time, while the hot standby node is ready to become active if needed.

Configure failover

This topic describes how to set up a failover configuration using an external relational database, allowing for high availability of Deploy instances.

Configure satellite communication

This topic covers how to configure communication between Deploy satellites and the Deploy master to ensure secure and effective operations.

Database Anonymizer Tool

This topic describes Data Anonymization, which is the process of protecting private or sensitive information, such as passwords, by deleting or encrypting personally identifiable information.

Default names for CIs in Deploy

This topic addresses how to apply a default connectivity Configuration Item (CI) to multiple new CIs in Deploy using reserved names for consistency.

Deploy CLI installation

You can install the Deploy command-line interface (CLI) on any remote computer and connect to the Deploy server.

Enable Deploy maintenance mode

This topic describes how to use maintenance mode in Deploy to safely restart the server and temporarily prevent new deployments and tasks from starting.

Export items from or import items into the repository

This topic covers the repository object in the Deploy command-line interface (CLI) allows you to export the Deploy repository tree to a ZIP file that can be imported into the same Deploy server or into another Deploy server. The ZIP file contains all configuration item (CI) properties, including artifact files.

Feature settings

The Feature Settings page allows you to toggle or configure the optional features Digital.ai Deploy.

General settings

This topic describes how to customize the appearance and login screen of Deploy.

HTTP CSRF protection

This topic addresses Cross site request forgery(CSRF), which is a class of attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on an application when the user is authenticated. The Digital.ai Deploy frontend uses endpoints protected with CSRF .

Install Deploy Satellite as a service

You can install and run Deploy Satellite as a service on your Unix or Microsoft Windows machine. The satellite service wrapper requires Java Development Kit 8 or higher to be installed on the target Unix or Windows machine.

Install or remove a plugin

This topic provides information about how Deploy runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and utilizes two classloaders one for the server itself, and one for the plugins and extensions. A plugin can have an .xldp or a .jar extension. The XLDP format is a ZIP archive that bundles a plugin with all of its dependencies.

Installation Prerequisites

This topic provides information about the software and hardware requirements to install and run Digital.ai Deploy.

Manage system passwords

This topic describes how to change the encryption key password and the admin user's password in Deploy.

Plugins classloader

This topic provides information on how Digital.ai Deploy operates on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with two classloaders: one for the server and one for plugins and extensions. Plugins can be packaged in either .xldp or .jar formats, with the XLDP format being a ZIP archive that includes the plugin and all its dependencies.

Set up roles and permissions

This topic provides Deploy provides information about fine-grained security settings based on roles and permissions that you can configure in the GUI and through the command-line interface (CLI).

Specify file encoding on the server

This topic describes the file.encoding system property, which defines the file encoding setting on the Deploy server. By default, it is set to UTF-8 to ensure compatibility with most systems.

Start Deploy

This topic provides instructions for starting the Deploy server.

Store credentials

This topic describes how to define one or more sets of credentials in the Configuration section of the CI Library for use with source artifacts. Admin global permissions are required to define these credentials. Once defined, you can use them to provide a username and password for any HTTP URL that requires authentication.

Store proxy servers in Deploy

This article describes how to define one or more sets of proxy servers to be used with source artifacts in the Configuration section of the CI Library.

Store shared host credentials

This topic describes how to manage credentials for multiple remote hosts that share the same authentication details. To simplify credential management, you can configure a single CI to define shared credentials for any remote host requiring authentication. When defining an overthere host connection, you can then select the shared credentials CI.

The Deploy work directory

This topic provides information about the XLDEPLOYSERVER_HOME/work directory, which is used to temporarily store data that cannot be kept in memory.

Trial install

This topic describes how to install a trial version of Deploy.

Upgrade Deploy - JVM

This topic describes the prerequisites, considerations and process for upgrading Deploy from version 10.1 or later to the current version.

Upgrade satellite servers

This topic provides information on upgrading Deploy. When you upgrade to a new version of Deploy, you must also upgrade your satellite servers to the corresponding version of the satellite distribution ZIP.

Verify oslogin and metadata ssh connection to GCP instance

This topic provides information on verifying OS login and metadata SSH connections to a GCP instance. It includes steps to ensure that OS login is properly configured and that SSH connections using metadata are functioning correctly.
