Container-Based Setup

Before running the setup, please check [Central Hub] Recommended System Configuration to install all required dependencies.

Setup order requirement

Please follow installation steps in order to complete the system setup properly:

Order no.	Service	Notes
1	Redis, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL and File Server (NAS)	Could be setup in parallel in any order among them. Make sure they are all fully functional and accessible before proceeding to the next setup order #2.
2	First MetaDefender Core instance in the shared DB mode.	A valid license must be provisioned and activated. In case of MetaDefender Core upgrade scenario, make sure all other MetaDefender Core instances' service are stopped while upgrading this first MetaDefender Core instance. Make sure they are all fully functional and accessible. Heath check constraints to be reviewed and confirmed. In the Central Hub model, MetaDefender Core will not consume any processing tasks from the central queue while staying unheathy via the heath check.
3	The Hub instance, and any other MetaDefender Core instances in the shared DB mode.	Could be setup in parallel in any order among them. Make sure it is fully functional and accessible.

1. Redis caching server

Pull the target docker image from Redis repository on DockerHub e.g. https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/redis/7.0.5/images/sha256-2bd864580926b790a22c8b96fd74496fe87b3c59c0774fe144bab2788e78e676?context=explore

docker pull redis:<version>
Copy

Run the image:

Bash
    
xxxxxxxxxx
 
docker run -d --name <container name> \ -p <redis port>:6379 \ <redis image name>
Copy

Check container log to ensure everything works properly:
