Installation

Requirements

• VPS with 4GB ram (an install script is provided for Ubuntu Server 20.04)
• A domain you own with at least 3 subdomains
• Google Authenticator app (2 factor is NOT optional)

Docker

Refer to the docker setup

Installation example (Ubuntu server 20.04 LTS)

Fresh VPS with latest updates
login as root and create a user and add to sudoers group (we will be creating a user called tactical)

apt update && apt -y upgrade
adduser tactical
usermod -a -G sudo tactical

switch to the tactical user and setup the firewall

su - tactical
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow https
sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 4505,4506
sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw reload

Our domain for this example is tacticalrmm.com

In the DNS manager of wherever our domain is hosted, we will create three A records, all pointing to the public IP address of our VPS

Create A record api.tacticalrmm.com for the django rest backend
Create A record rmm.tacticalrmm.com for the vue frontend
Create A record mesh.tacticalrmm.com for meshcentral

Download the install script and run it

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wh1te909/tacticalrmm/develop/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Links will be provided at the end of the install script.
Download the executable from the first link, then open rmm.tacticalrmm.com and login.
Upload the executable when prompted during the initial setup page.

Install an agent

From the app's dashboard, choose Agents > Install Agent to generate an installer.

Updating

Download and run update.sh (Raw)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wh1te909/tacticalrmm/develop/update.sh
chmod +x update.sh
./update.sh

Backup

Download backup.sh (Raw)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wh1te909/tacticalrmm/develop/backup.sh

Change the postgres username and password at the top of the file (you can find them in /rmm/api/tacticalrmm/tacticalrmm/local_settings.py under the DATABASES section)

Run it

chmod +x backup.sh
./backup.sh

Restore

Change your 3 A records to point to new server's public IP

Create same linux user account as old server and add to sudoers group and setup firewall (see install instructions above)

Copy backup file to new server

Download the restore script, and edit the postgres username/password at the top of the file. Same instructions as above in the backup steps.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wh1te909/tacticalrmm/develop/restore.sh

Run the restore script, passing it the backup tar file as the first argument

chmod +x restore.sh
./restore.sh rmm-backup-xxxxxxx.tar

Using another ssl certificate

During the install you can opt out of using the Let's Encrypt certificate. If you do this the script will create a self-signed certificate, so that https continues to work. You can replace the certificates in /certs/example.com/(privkey.pem | pubkey.pem) with your own.

If you are migrating from Let's Encrypt to another certificate provider, you can create the /certs directory and copy your certificates there. It is recommended to do this because this directory will be backed up with the backup script provided. Then modify the nginx configurations to use your new certificates

The cert that is generated is a wildcard certificate and is used in the nginx configurations: rmm.conf, api.conf, and mesh.conf. If you can't generate wildcard certificates you can create a cert for each subdomain and configure each nginx configuration file to use its own certificate. Then restart nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx
