Improvements/CentOS-RedHat support/Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE These instructions will create an installation of a QA version of Archivematica and is not recommended for production use yet.

Quick install using Vagrant

This method will have you up and running in no time, using a virtual machine provisioned with vagrant.

• First, clone the am-packbuild repo:

  git clone https://github.com/artefactual-labs/am-packbuild/

• cd into the rpm-testing directory

  cd am-packbuild/rpm-testing/

• run vagrant

  vagrant up

After the install, the Archivematica Dashboard will be avaliable on port 81 of the vagrant deployed box, and the Storage Service, in port 8001.

You can log in the vm over ssh running vagrant ssh

Step by step Install

Prerequisites

Extra repos

Some repositories need to be installed in order to fullfill the installation procedure:

• Extra packages for enterprise linux

  yum install -y epel-release

• Elasticsearch

  sudo -u root rpm --import https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
  sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
  [elasticsearch-1.7]
  name=Elasticsearch repository for 1.7 packages
  baseurl=https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/centos
  gpgcheck=1
  gpgkey=https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
  enabled=1
  EOF'

• Archivematica

  sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/archivematica.repo
  [archivematica]
  name=archivematica
  baseurl=https://packages.archivematica.org/1.5.x/centos
  gpgcheck=0
  enabled=1
  EOF'

Service depencencies.

Common services like elasticsearch, mariadb and gearmand should be installed and enabled before the archivematica install. It can be done with:

sudo -u root yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless elasticsearch mariadb-server gearmand
sudo -u root systemctl enable elasticsearch
sudo -u root systemctl start elasticsearch
sudo -u root systemctl enable mariadb
sudo -u root systemctl start mariadb
sudo -u root systemctl enable gearmand
sudo -u root systemctl start gearmand

Installing Archivematica Storage Service

• First, we install the packages:

  sudo -u root yum install -y python-pip archivematica-storage-service

• After the package is installed, we need to populate the sqlite database, and collect some static files used by django. Those tasks must be run as “archivematica” user.

  sudo -u archivematica bash -c " \
  set -a -e -x
  source /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-storage-service
  cd /usr/share/archivematica/storage-service
  /usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/storage-service/bin/python manage.py migrate
  /usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/storage-service/bin/python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
  ";

• And now, we enable and start the archivematica-storage-service and it’s nginx frontend

  sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-storage-service
  sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-storage-service
  sudo -u root systemctl enable nginx
  sudo -u root systemctl start nginx

The storage service will be avaliable at http://<ip>:8001

Installing Archivematica Dashboard and MCP Server

• First, install the pacakges:

  sudo -u root yum install -y archivematica-common archivematica-mcp-server archivematica-dashboard

• Create and populate the mysql database with:

  sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS MCP; CREATE DATABASE MCP CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;"
  sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "CREATE USER 'archivematica'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'demo';"
  sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "GRANT ALL ON MCP.* TO 'archivematica'@'localhost';"

• And as archivematica user, run migrations:

  sudo -u archivematica bash -c " \
  set -a -e -x
  source /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-dashboard
  cd /usr/share/archivematica/dashboard
  /usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/dashboard/bin/python manage.py syncdb --noinput
  ";
  

• Start and enable services:

  sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-mcp-server
  sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-mcp-server
  sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-dashboard
  sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-dashboard

• Reload nginx in order to load the dashboard config file:
  sudo -u root systemctl reload nginx

The dashboard will be avaliable at http://ip:81

Installing Archivematica MCP Client

• First, we need to add some extra repos with the MCP Client dependencies:

• Archivematica supplied external packages:

  sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/archivematica-extras.repo
  [archivematica-extras]
  name=archivematica-extras
  baseurl=https://packages.archivematica.org/1.5.x/centos-extras
  gpgcheck=0
  enabled=1
  EOF'
  

• Nux multimedia repo

  rpm -Uvh https://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

• Forensic tools repo

  rpm -Uvh https://forensics.cert.org/cert-forensics-tools-release-el7.rpm

• Then, install the package:

  sudo -u root yum install -y archivematica-mcp-client

• The MCP Client expect some programs in certain paths, so we put things in place:

  sudo cp /usr/bin/clamscan /usr/bin/clamdscan
  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/7za /usr/bin/7z

• After that, we can enable and start services

  sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-mcp-client
  sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-mcp-client
  sudo -u root systemctl enable fits-nailgun
  sudo -u root systemctl start fits-nailgun

Finalizing Installation

The dashboard will be available on port 81, and the storage service on port 8001. You will need to complete the installation by opening up the dashboard in a web browser, and filling in the form you are presented with. On the 2nd page of the installer, you are asked for information about the storage service. You will need to log into the storage service and find the api key that was generated for your user (in admin->users).

Configuration

Each service have a configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-packagename

Known bugs / Caveats

• If IPv6 is disabled, Nginx may refuse to start. If that is the case make sure that the listen directives used under /etc/nginx are not using IPv6 addresses like [::]:80.
