Installation using the OVA VM Image

This guide outlines the process of installing Joget DX Enterprise Edition using an Open Virtualization Format (OVA) image on virtualization platforms like VMware or VirtualBox. The OVA image comes pre-configured with the following product versions:

• Joget DX Enterprise Edition 9.0.xx
• Apache Tomcat 8.5.23
• MySQL 5.7.21
• Ubuntu 16.04.2 64-bit

By leveraging this OVA VM image, users can efficiently deploy Joget in their virtualized environments, eliminating the need for a manual installation. This preconfigured setup ensures convenience, saving both time and effort.

Installing the VM

The VM installation allows you to quickly deploy Joget in your virtualization environment without requiring a complete manual installation. Additionally, it saves time and effort by providing you with a preconfigured instance of Joget that is ready for use.

1. Download the VM from SourceForge.
2. Unzip the file and import the OVA file into your virtualization platform.
3. Modify the VM Settings (CPU, Memory, Network Adapter) as required. Typically, a bridged network connection is required for the VM to be accessible on the network. For more details, see the Additional notes section.
4. Start the VM.
5. The VM's IP should display on the login screen if the VM is connected to the network. If no IP is available, login to Ubuntu and type "ifconfig" to obtain the IP address.
6. From the web browser, access Joget using the URL http://IP_OF_VM:8080/jw.

Additional notes

These additional notes provide essential information and commands related to the setup and management of Joget DX Enterprise Edition installed using the OVA VM Image. Below is a summary of the key points:

• Joget Admin Login

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

• Ubuntu Login

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

• MySQL Login

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

• Joget Path: /opt/joget

• Apache Tomcat Path: /opt/joget/apache-tomcat

• View Apache Tomcat Log File: To monitor Apache Tomcat logs in real-time, run the following command in the terminal: tail -f /opt/joget/apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out

• Start Apache Tomcat: To start Apache Tomcat, use the following command in the terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start

• Stop Apache Tomcat: To stop Apache Tomcat, use the following command in the terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat stop

• Network Adapter Configuration: It is recommended to configure the network adapter from the default NAT to a Bridged connection so that the instance can be accessible within the local network. For example, in VMWare Player, select the Bridged network connection option.

  

• On Virtualbox, select Network>Bridged Adapter.

  This option allows the virtual machine to have its own identity on the local network as if it were another device connected directly to the router. This is useful for the virtual machine to be accessible from other devices on the local network, as it will have its own assigned IP address.

   If you encounter issues with network connectivity, log in to Ubuntu and configure the network following the instructions provided at Ubuntu Server documentation.
