Openbis installation help

Installation & maintenance
1

I have installed openbis when i run command ./bisup.sh ./allup.sh and have as well configured apache to look for jetty but apparantly the page http://localhost:8080/openbis does not show up.

I ran following commands after untarring openbis…tar.gz file

run-console.sh then ./bisup.sh and ./allup.sh

i have also set up console.properties settings but yet not able to get openbis running on browser
is there any simple installation script/documentation step by step available which will help me to configure openbis on ubuntu 22.04 virtualbox.

We prepare VirtualBox using Vagrant and in this repository

we keep the Vagrant file

where you have complete instruction and commands how to install openBIS on Ubuntu.

Please follow this installation method. It gives you working setup.
Additionally you can download and run our demo on VirtiualBox what gives you working system right out of the box and you can compare between it and your system at which level this does not start correctly.

To be fair to @artur.pedziwilk , he’s also doing a great job in preparing a docker container if you want to deploy OpenBIS in the easiest way

Hello,
i’m trying to setup the openBIS for our group. Thanks for the good documentation and scripts.
I’ve tried to setup the system based on the vagrant script by following the installation steps. Now I have a problem: Trying to start the bisup an error occurs:

ERROR [main] OPERATION.PostgreSQLAdminDAO - Failed to get the version of the database server.

The config file of postgresql (pg_hba.conf) is equivalent to the vagrant script: Maybe there is an error because within the script the path postgresql is accorded to version 11. I’m using postgresql 15 and adjusted the paths, but without success. Is there something else to configure for postgresql beside the part written in the vagrant script?

Best regards
Richard

Is there a planed release (-date) of the openbis-demo docker image?

Hello Richard,

I had the same problem - try starting the docker image without the detached (-d) command, if you have used that.
For me this fixed this issue.

Dear @ahbayani,
the solution is the same. Please check our OVA for VirtualBox
https://unlimited.ethz.ch/display/openbis/openBIS+ELN-LIMS+Virtual+Machine
it will give you running instance of openBIS which can be used to check the configuration and setup and learn how to setup the instance on your own.

Then I suggest to setup openBIS as containarized system
https://openbis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system-documentation/docker/index.html
becasue it is standarized and simplified.

All errors of standalone installation setup are in case of production ready release always matter of incorrect configuration, and logs of openBIS AS or openBIS DSS are showing specifically what is an error.

Regards,
Artur

Thanks Artur,

Finally I figured out how to configure and install openbis. I created an instruction that can be useful for others.
