Please run the commands' sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop' to install a desktop environment. = Perform pre-installation of claris-server_40.0.2.19 (install)Įrror! Installation can only proceed in a desktop environment with a web browser. During testing, we got these when we were using incompatible desktop versions. If the installer detects that something is not ready, then you will see an error like below. The Claris Server install process is very similar to the one for FileMaker Server: you’ll be asked for the Admin Console username and password, and you will set a PIN. Unzip the archive into a folder (named fms in the example below) unzip cs-40.0.2.19-amd64-Ubuntu20.zip -d fmsĬd into the new folder and run the installer: sudo apt install -y. The Claris Server installer is still a zip file, and the easiest way to install it is still through the command line in an SSH session or on the server. google-chrome-stable_current_b Install Claris Server It is also very easy to install from the command line though with these two commands: wget You can now log into the server and install Chrome the usual graphical way by using the desktop’s browser (which is Firefox for Ubuntu desktop). Similarly, do not follow the prompt you can see on the command line when you SSH into Ubuntu: Install Google Chrome The message is about upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04, and Claris Server is not compatible with 22. When you RDP into Ubuntu for the first time, you will see a dialog that tells you that there is a new version of Ubuntu available. Reboot the machine at this point to consolidate all the changes: sudo reboot now Be Careful - Do Not Upgrade to Ubuntu 22! Run this command and set a password when prompted: sudo passwd ubuntu For AWS instances, for instance, that user is ‘ubuntu’ but does not have a password since most access through SSH is passwordless by using a key instead. The machine is now available through the normal RDP port 3389.ĭepending on your initial server setup, you may need to set a password for the default user. Run these two commands to install xRDP and set it to automatically start when the machine starts sudo apt install xrdp You can, of course, install a VNC server instead, but we have a whole fleet of FileMaker Server Windows machines where we use RDP, so it fits more naturally for us to install an RDP-compatible client. The desktop is now installed, but you still need a way to get to it remotely if your server is not a physical server with a screen. The Claris installer will also error out if this setting is not set. The –no-install-recommends prevents Ubuntu from installing all the unnecessary recommended software and cuts down the total desktop size from nearly 3GB to just over 1GB.Īnd because Ubuntu Server does not automatically boot into GUI mode, run this command: sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target Sudo apt install -no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop SSH into your Ubuntu Server and run these two commands: sudo apt update We sincerely hope that Claris updates the Claris Server to allow for Claris ID login through the admin command line or API so that the desktop requirement and its increased attack surface can be left behind. A grand total of about 3GB worth of applications that are totally unnecessary. Unfortunately, you need to install the full desktop, which – if you are not careful – comes with a lot of unnecessary software such as Gimp, LibreOffice, media players, etc. The lightweight version of this desktop (ubuntu-desktop-core), however, does not work. Once you have Ubuntu Server, there are any number of desktops available to install, but there is only one that will work because the Claris Server installer has a hard-coded check for it: ubuntu-desktop. You will add a desktop temporarily as part of the installation.įirst, install the Ubuntu Server version as per normal. Ubuntu Server does not come with a GUI:Ubuntu Server or Unbuntu Desktop? Ubuntu Server is the only correct version to run Claris Server of FileMaker Server. Ubuntu Desktop is meant for laptops and workstations. However, don’t choose Ubuntu Desktop when you set out to install a new machine. Specifically, Claris Server requires you to log into your Claris ID, and that necessitates a desktop and Google Chrome to make that initial connection. Unlike FileMaker Server, Claris Server is only available for Ubuntu 20.04, and its setup is currently more intricate than setting up FileMaker Server. Claris Server is the equivalent of FileMaker Server but part of the new Claris Platform and, as such, directly tied to your Claris subscription or ‘org.’
