This article details steps on completing the installation of LogonBox from the original ISO image. The ISO image is unique in that you need to configure the OS as well as the application.
This install method can be useful if you need to install on a Hypervisor that we don't have images available for, or if you need to install the server directly on to your own hardware.
1. Pre-requisites
You need to download the ISO image.
Open your browser and navigate to the product download page.
Enter your details and click Get LogonBox VM.
Select ISO from the dropdown menu and click on the Download button.
Note: If installing on a Hypervisor, you must first create a new Virtual Machine to install the ISO on.
It is recommended to set the following options:
- 2 CPUs (the server will be more responsive on user updates with 2 or more CPUs)
- At least 2Gb of RAM
- 32Gb hard disk (8Gb as a minimum)
- CDROM with ISO mounted
2. Choose Graphical Install
With the newly created VM started you should see the Hypersocket installation menu, from here choose Start Installer. If you want to install without a GUI, choose Advanced Install Options then Text Installer.
3. Language and Locale Settings
The initial steps require you to configure the language, location, and keyboard mapping to use, please choose your country and location as appropriate then click Continue.
On the next page, select your location, then click Continue.
Now select your keyboard mapping and click Continue again.
4. Network Settings
The next step requires you to set the hostname for the system and the domain name, this will be the name of the server and how users will access this machine. In this example we have chosen:
- Hostname: logonbox
- Domain name: logonbox.io
Click Continue.
5. Partition Disks
The next step requires partitioning of the disk space assigned to this VM. The simplest method is to use the default settings.
Select Guided - use entire disk and click Continue.
Now select the disk to install on and click Continue again.
