Prerequisites

Before moving forward, make sure you meet the following prerequisites. Here's what you need:

1. A Linux server either a physical one, a virtual machine or in a cloud server. Refer to the recommended configuration for the server system.
2. Docker and Docker Compose installed on your Linux server. If you need help follow docker installation guide(Linux). Similarly, you can follow the docker-compose installation tutorials on Ubuntu. Some knowledge of Docker and Docker Compose is good to have.
3. Some experience with shell and Linux commands since there's a lot of movement in there.
4. Here we use Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

   If you are using this tutorial in the future (from present time reference) and there is a much newer version of Docker and Linux version, please use those versions.

Step 1: Run wget

Run the following command to download and execute the auto_config.sh script file from Magewell website.

wget www.magewell.com/files/tools/auto_config.sh&&chmod +x auto_config.sh&&sed -i 's/\r//g' auto_config.sh&&./auto_config.sh  

Step 2: (optional) Update Cloud

Here takes update Cloud to 1.1.23216 version as an example to illustrate the upgrade command. And ./Downloads is the root directory of download files, and the update file is sc-cloud-1.1.23216.tar.

sudo /data/sc-update.sh ./Downloads/sc-cloud-1.1.23216.tar

Check the target version of Magewell Cloud after update. You can find the Cloud version at the upper left after logged-in successfully.

Post Deployment

1. To access Magewell Cloud: open your browser and input IP address of Linux server, and 80 the default HTTP with the form as http://IP address:80.

   Then you should see a screen as the figure below.
   The default admin username and password both are Admin, case-sensitive. After the initial login, we highly recommended that you secure access by changing the default password.
