RHEL6 Installation ?

RHEL6 installation is very simple you just need to do some clicks and few selections and your operating system is ready.

Assuming you have a RHEL6 disk and a system in which you can install RHEL6.

  • Boot your machine and select the boot device a DVD. You will see a screen like the given below:

  • Select the installation type as "Install system with basic video driver".

  • If your disk is a new one then you can skip this check otherwise do check your disk for any errors.

  • Here I did skip this step, as I was aware that this will not give any issues while installing the machine. After this you will see a screen somewhat like this, Just press Next.

  • Choose a language as per your requirements.

  • Choose the keyboard layout as per your requirements.

  • Select the storage device in which you want to install your OS.

  • Type the hostname of your machine(as per your requirements).

  • Select the time-zone.

  • Give root password for your machine if you did give a weak root password then it will prompt you that your root password is weak do you want to continue or not ?

  • Select type of installtion i.e. the layout how your harddisk will be partitioned. **OPTIONAL: If in case you select the option as "Encrypt system" if will ask you to select your LUKS password. By this option you can encrypt whole your harddisk.

  • Enter password for encrypted partition.

  • Once you press OK you will be brought to a prompt about "Writing storage config to disk", press Write changes to disk. If and only if you think that you selected all the things correctly.

  • Select the basic typr of system which you want to install like a server or desktop etc in this case I have selected desktop, After your selection press Next.

  • You will see somewhat like this "Initialization of your installation process".

  • The it will start installing packages

  • Once all the packages are installed it will ask you to reboot your machine, Do a reboot of your machine just by pressing the Reboot button.

Installing Tomcat8 on RHEL6

Image
Apache-HTTP v/s Apache-Tomcat: The basic difference is Apache-Tomcat is written in Java but Apache-HTTP is written in C. Apart from this Apache-Tomcat is used as a webserver as well as to deploy Java Servlet's and JSP's [Java server pages] so basically Apache-Tomcat is used to serve Java Technologies whereas Apache-HTTP is used to serve HTTP. Prerequisites: Appropriate version of JRE [Java run-time environment] for instance jre1.7 is required to run tomcat-8[.X.X]. Tomcat binaries, for version 8 check this link . Sudo/Root access to the machine. Step1: Install JRE Download JRE from Java's official website. You can keep Java at any location but for my ease I have kept both Tomcat and Java in /opt. # cd /opt # cp jre-7u45-linux-x64.tar.gz . # tar -zxvf jre-7u45-linux-x64.tar.gz  The above command will create a folder with JRE binaries. In my case it was "jre1.7.0_45". Now set JRE_HOME [Required by Tomcat] and PATH. export JRE_HOME=/opt/jre1.7.

Let's say we want to install any chart from the helm registry, we just need to type in the below command and helm will do the heavy lifting for us. $ helm install [RELEASE_NAME] [REPO]/[CHART] But below post is not about the basics of helm or how to install or upgrade a chart, etc. It's been a long time since I wrote anything, so I just thought to write something about what new I learned today :)  While installing one of my charts, I encountered below issue: Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: rendered manifests contain a resource that already exists. Unable to continue with install: StorageClass "demo-sc" in namespace "" exists and cannot be imported into the current release: invalid ownership metadata; label validation error: missing key "app.kubernetes.io/managed-by&qu
