Description

Setup the Private Cloud Vault on the Linux server where user device backups will be stored.

Download and install the Private Cloud Vault Package - Linux

Note

To register a Vault, you will need to have the email address and password of an Endpoint Cloud user account with the Administrator or Security Officer role.

To download and install the Private Cloud Vault package: 

1. On the Endpoint Cloud Portal, click on the Vaults tab. 

2. Click on the Download Private Cloud Vault.

If you do not see this option, select the green download icon at the top-right of the Vaults screen.

3. Download the Linux package and copy it to your server.

Note

Debian, CentOS, RHEL and Ubuntu distros are supported.

4. On the server, install the Private Cloud Vault software. 

sudo bash ./endpointcloud-vault-unix-3.0.5.28249.sh 
Note

You must choose a location that has a suitable amount of storage space for your data. We usually recommend 20GB per user, but this can vary depending on the type and amount of data your organization uses. The default directory for the installation is /opt.

Press Enter to continue

Press Enter several times to read through the EULA.

Press 1 to Accept the agreement

Press Enter to accept the default installation directory /opt/vault

Press Enter to create symlinks

Press Enter for the default symlink location

Files will then extract and install

Press Enter to register the Vault to your Endpoint Cloud tenant

Note

If you are doing an in-place upgrade to a newer version of the Vault, you do not need to register the Vault again.

Type in your customer name. This is the URL to your endpointcloud.com tenant. As example, for acme.endpointcloud.com, just type in acme as customer.

For the username, type in the email address of the Security Officer with access to your Cloud Portal. 

Type in the password for the Cloud Portal. 

Note

This is not your AD / Email credentials, but the administrator credentials used to log into your Cloud Portal.

The Vault will be registered against the customer (tenant) on endpointcloud.com and the service started.

To confirm that the service started

systemctl status endpointcloud-vault-service

To stop or start the service

systemctl start endpointcloud-vault-service
systemctl stop endpointcloud-vault-service

The Vault will now be registered. On the Cloud Portal, under the Vaults tab, the Vault will be available.

Troubleshooting

If a mistake is made with the registration process, the registration can be kicked off manually again with the following command: 

sudo /opt/vault/endpointcloud-vault register -t yourtenantname -r https -h endpointcloud.com -u youremailaddress -p yourpassword

Once registration completes:
sudo systemctl start endpointcloud-vault-service
