Hardware requirements
- Min. 4GB ECC RAM
- 64-bit x86 processor
- Primary disk should be flash storage (>32GB)
- Legacy boot (UEFI is currently not supported)
- Cache disk for RAID or cloud storage should be SSD/NVMe (>32GB)
Download for Hyper-V, VirtualBox
Usage instructions:
- With Hyper-V setup a Generation 1 VM (no UEFI support)
- Decompress, then attach downloaded virtual hard disk as primary (boot) disk to a newly created virtual machine
- Attach other cache or storage (virtual) disks to VM
- Boot VM and browse to VM IP (via http) and follow the setup instructions
Download for VMWare
Usage instructions:
- Decompress, then attach downloaded virtual hard disk as primary (boot) disk to a newly created virtual machine
- Attach other cache or storage (virtual) disks to VM
- Boot VM and browse to VM IP (via http) and follow the setup instructions
Download for Bare Metal
Usage instructions:
- Decompress, then write image to primary disk via e.g. dd (Linux) or Win32diskimager
- Boot from primary disk
- Browse to server IP (via http) and follow the setup instructions
Install to Cloud Instance (DigitalOcean/Vultr/GCE/…)
Usage instructions:
- Create a new Debian 10/buster instance satisfying the minimum hardware requirements above (4GB RAM, >32GB disk, preferably second disk with >32GB). All data on the instance will be destroyed, so make sure you are really using a new instance
- Login as root via SSH and run:
wget https://dl3.infscape.com/images/urbackup-app-11-18.sh && bash urbackup-app-11-18.sh
- The script will download and install the appliance, then reboot. Copy & paste / note down the login password shown during installation
- If the installation is interrupted, you’ll have to destroy the instance and start with a new debian instance to retry
- Browse to http://INSTANCEIP or http://INSTANCEHOSTNAME and follow the setup instructions. As a first step you’ll have to enter the setup login password that the setup script shows
Amazon Web Services
Usage instructions:
- The appliance is available on the AWS Marketplace
- Detailed step-by-step instructions (including setting up a S3 bucket) are available here. If you are okay with (temporary) non-secure access you could skip the step where a CloudFront distribution is setup and directly access your instance via IP/hostname.
- Create a S3 bucket. Setup an IAM policy that allows Read, Write, Delete and List on that S3 bucket
- Create a EC2 instance using the image from the AWS Marketplace. System disk should be at least >32GB (better 64GB), with a second disk with at least >32GB (better >64GB) attached. The second disk will be used as cache for S3
- Open TCP ports 80, 443 and 55415 during configuration
- After starting the EC2 instance enter the instance id (shown e.g. in the AWS console) in the first setup step
Microsoft Azure
Usage instructions:
- The appliance is available on the Azure Marketplace
- Create a storage account and a blob storage container in this account
- All attached disks will be used as Azure Blob Storage cache. Make sure to attach at least 64GB. Instance storage will be automatically used
- During creation specify a username and password (not a ssh key)
- Open TCP ports 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS) and 55415 during creation
- Assign a hostname to the VM after creation (e.g. *.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com)
- Browse to the hostname. As a first step the appliance will enable SSL. In the second step it will ask for the username and password specified during VM creation
- The third step will ask for the storage account name, a storage account key and the blob storage container name. The appliance will store all data into this blob storage container
