Linux Install - Docker and Core

OVERVIEW

Before installing Docker and VersaVision Core on the Linux (Ubuntu) Computer/Server/VM, there are some files that need to be uploaded.

The user will need to get the IP Address of the Computer/Server/VM.

Verify with your IT Department that the IP Address assigned is either a Static IP or DHCP Reserved Address.

The guide below will explain uploading the files via an SSH Client, feel free to use a different SSH Client or upload the files using the Terminal if you have physical access.

REQUIREMENTS

Computer/Server/VM must be loaded with Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.

IT must assign an Administrator level user name and password for VersaCall Installation/User.

Internet Access Required for the Installation process. Access can be removed after installation.

SSH Client is required if the User/Installer does not have physical access to the server.

Server/Computer/VM must have a Static IP Address or a DHCP Reserved IP Address.

The Container, Core and Docker files must already be downloaded and uploaded to the Linux (Ubuntu) Computer/Server/VM.
