Centos 8 installation

benny_1 · November 5, 2019, 9:18am

Has anyone tried to install Kaltura on Centos 8 ?

jess · November 5, 2019, 11:01am

I’m working on porting CE to RHEL/CentOS 8. I will let you know once done and also announce it in the release post. You cannot deploy on 8 using the current CE RPM repos since the official 8 repos include newer versions of several packages the CE packages rely on.

I’ve attempted using the Repos recommended by @jess at: https://github.com/kaltura/nginx-vod-module/issues/1076 and the Remi’s RPM repository - Configuration wizard.
I got sox installed using cert-forensics-tools-release-el8 rpm then x265-libs with rpmfusion-free-release.

It was at this point that I got frustrated/scared of adding disparate repositories. Now I remember why I opted to use Ubuntu (previously 16.04), but unfortunately Debian has a lot more issues according to the hard working @jess (grateful for your efforts kind Sir).

I’m about to deploy a new sever and ideally would prefer to use a recent LTS/Major OS distribution release, preferably Debian 10 Buster or Centos 8. Will give it another try soon.

Hello all,

Please see Kaltura CE 16.4.0 released
CentOS/RHEL 8 is now supported.

Cheers,

Did a fresh install of Centos 8 Twice. Got the following for

yum install kaltura-server

Error: Problem: conflicting requests

nothing provides kaltura-sphinx needed by kaltura-server-16.5.0-1.noarch

(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

Hello @caribbean,

Glad we’re making progress. This is odd, however, because the package does exist:
http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/repo/releases/16.5.0/8/x86_64/kaltura-pentaho-4.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm

installrepo.kaltura.org is a CDN endpoint, try replacing it with the origin - installrepo.origin.kaltura.org in /etc/yum.repos.d/kaltura.repo. Perhaps you’ve hitting an edge that has not been fully updated… this happens sometimes.

Hello @caribbean,

The missing packages come from the RPM Fusion repo. I added documentation here:

I was able to reproduce it and fix it with:

# dnf module reset php
# dnf module enable php:remi-7.2

Before doing that, please verify that you have no PHP packages installed at all. All the PHP packages will be automatically retrieved as they are declared as deps in the specs.

This procedure should work equally well on both CentOS and RHEL 8.
Please let me know whether it worked for you and I’ll update the docs accordingly.

Thanks for reporting,

caribbean · August 10, 2020, 4:40am

@jess

It would really be nice to see your notes on the Install of Kaltura on Centos 8 step-by-step as there are a few points that need to be clarified vs Centos/RHEL 6/7. I know that stability is the priority over bleeding edge dependencies, but why are PHP 7.2 and MySQL 5.5 requirements?

I was able to gain some success using the updates your’ve posted and I am indeed very appreciative of all your hard work.

Here are the steps I followed after slightly modifying the Official Guide

Kaltura Install on Centos 8

Set SELinux to permissive mode - REQUIRED
Currently Kaltura doesn’t properly support running with SELinux in enforcing mode, things will break if you don’t set it to permissive.

setenforce permissive

To verify SELinux will not revert to enabled next restart:
1. Edit the file /etc/selinux/config
2. Verify or change the value of SELINUX to permissive: SELINUX=permissive
3. Save the file /etc/selinux/config

Setup the Kaltura RPM repository

rpm -ihv http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/kaltura-release.noarch.rpm

Additional repos
Before proceeding with the deployment process, please ensure that the EPEL repos are enabled.

Enabling the EPEL repo
To add the EPEL repo:

rpm -ihv https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

(Question: Why is the official guide only prescribing epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm? As later RPM Fusion 8, told me EPEL 8 is required and I had EPEL 7 for a previos attempt?)

Enabling the Remi repos

I had no success in getting remi-php72 to work with Centos 8, so I used remi-7.4 using the instructions at: https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2019/12/03/Install-PHP-7.4-on-CentOS-RHEL-or-Fedora

The kaltura-nginx package depends on certain packages from the main Remi repo.

CentOS version 8.0
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

php module usage
With Fedora modular and RHEL / CentOS 8, you can simply use the remi-7.4 stream of the php module
dnf module reset php
dnf module install php:remi-7.4

Enabling the PowerTools repos
For CentOS/RHEL 8, it is also necessary to enable the PowerTools repos:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

Enabling the RPM Fusion repos
For CentOS/RHEL 8, it is also necessary to enable the Fusion repos:

rpm -ihv https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm

(as stated above RPM Fusion 8, told me EPEL 8 is required)

MySQL Install and Configuration

(This portion is the most confusing and frustrating segment of the install for me. I had no success in getting Percona 5.5 install on Centos 8, and only found binaries or repositories for 5.7 or later … I didn’t want to go through the headache of compiling from sources )

Kaltura CE does not currently support MySQL 5.6 and above. Please be sure to deploy MySQL 5.5. If your distro’s repos do not provide a suitable version (the CentOS/RHEL 8 repos have a higher version), we recommend the Percona project. See: https://github.com/percona/percona-server/tree/5.5 And, in particular: https://github.com/percona/percona-server/blob/5.5/build-ps/build-rpm.sh How to do this?

Instead I tried the following but then got conflicts with MySQL

RHEL/CentOS 8 setup:

yum install mariadb-server

service mariadb start

mysql_secure_installation

chkconfig mariadb on

**Make sure to answer YES for all steps in the mysql_secure_install install, and follow through all the mysql install questions before continuing further. Failing to properly run mysql_secure_install will cause the kaltura mysql user to run without proper permissions to access your mysql DB, and require you to start over again.

Mail Server (MTA) Install and Configuration
If your machine doesn’t have postfix email configured before the Kaltura install, you will not receive emails from the install system nor publisher account activation mails. If postfix runs without further configuration starting it is sufficient to make Kaltura work.

RHEL/CentOS 8 setup:

yum install postfix

service postfix start

chkconfig postfix on

service postfix restart

Ensure Repositories Are Up To Date before running the Kaltura CE Server

yum update

Non-SSL Step-by-step Installation
Before you can deploy your Kaltura CE Server, you need to perform some preliminary actions such as adding the Kaltura RPM repos, setting SELinux to persmissive mode and deploying MySQL. Please see pre-install steps.

You’re welcome to submit pull requests with additional changes.

With regards to MySQL, I’m afraid we must stick to 5.5 at present time, I explain why here:

Compiling Percona (and producing an RPM for it) is actually pretty straightforward. I included a link in the deployment doc.

Do let me know should you have additional questions.

Thanks,

@jess

I’m still having problems compiling Percora from sources. (Even though I installed the required dependencies to build

yum install gcc-c++ git cmake libaio-devel gdb

Hello,

Is the libaio-devel installed? If not, please install it. Otherwise, check the build log for errors and let’s see what the real issue is.

Also, note that Percona is only a recommendation. Any MySQL 5.5 distribution would work. You can even run it in a Docker container, so long as the machine where Kaltura CE is installed can access it.

Hello all!

I install Percona Server 5.5 from the Git Source Tree:

and got error:
