CentOS/RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux/Oracle Linux

In this guide, you will deploy MyEMS on CentOS or RHEL server.

Prerequisites

This guide describes how to install MyEMS on CentOS Stream 9 / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9) / Rocky 9 / AlmaLinux 9.1 / Oracle Linux 9.1. Hardware requirements depend on chosen database and amount of devices connected to the system. To run MyEMS and MySQL on a single machine you will need at least 4GB of RAM.

Update the system and install tools

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install python3-pip

Clone source code:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/myems/myems

Step 1 Database

See Database

Step 2 myems-api

Install myems-api service:

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-api /myems-api
cd /myems-api
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Create .env file based on example.env and edit the .env file if needed:

sudo cp /myems-api/example.env /myems-api/.env
sudo nano /myems-api/.env

Add port to firewall:

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Setup systemd configure files:

sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.service /lib/systemd/system/
sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.socket /lib/systemd/system/
sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.conf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/

Next enable the services so that they autostart at boot:

sudo systemctl enable myems-api.socket
sudo systemctl enable myems-api.service

Start the services :

sudo systemctl start myems-api.socket
sudo systemctl start myems-api.service

Step 3 myems-admin

Install NGINX Server

refer to http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#RHEL

Enable the nginx service:

sudo systemctl enable nginx.service

Configure NGINX

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the 'http' section, add some directives:

http {
    client_header_timeout 600;
    client_max_body_size 512M;
    gzip on;
    gzip_min_length 512;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_types *;
    gzip_vary on;
    proxy_buffering off;
    ...

}

Add a new file under /etc/nginx/conf.d/

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/myems-admin.conf

Write with directives as below, and replace the default myems-api url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with actual url if the myems-api servcie hosted on different server

server {
    listen                 8001;
    server_name     myems-admin;
    location / {
        root    /var/www/myems-admin;
        index index.html index.htm;
    }
    ## To avoid CORS issue, use Nginx to proxy myems-api to path /api
    ## Add another location /api in 'server'
    ## Replace the default myems-api url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with actual url if the myems-api servcie hosted on different server
    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
        proxy_connect_timeout 75;
        proxy_read_timeout 600;
        send_timeout 600;
    }
}

Install myems-admin : If the server can not connect to the internet, please compress the myems/myems-admin folder and upload it to the server and extract it to ~/myems/myems-admin

sudo mkdir /var/www
sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-admin  /var/www/myems-admin
sudo chmod 0755 -R /var/www/myems-admin

Check the config file and change it if necessary:

sudo nano /var/www/myems-admin/app/api.js

caution

The 'upload' folder is for user uploaded files. DO NOT delete/move/overwrite the 'upload' folder when you upgraded myems-admin.

 /var/www/myems-admin/upload

Unlock the port and add the port to firewall:

sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t  -p tcp 8001
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8001/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Restart the nginx service:

sudo systemctl restart nginx.service

tip

If you encounter '403 Forbidden' nginx error, you may fix it by changing SELinx mode with command 'sudo setenforce 0'

Step 4 myems-modbus-tcp

In this step, you will install myems-modbus-tcp service.

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-modbus-tcp /myems-modbus-tcp
cd /myems-modbus-tcp
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy exmaple.env file to .env and modify the .env file:

sudo cp /myems-modbus-tcp/example.env /myems-modbus-tcp/.env
sudo nano /myems-modbus-tcp/.env

Setup systemd service:

sudo cp myems-modbus-tcp.service /lib/systemd/system/

Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable myems-modbus-tcp.service

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start myems-modbus-tcp.service

Monitor the service:

sudo systemctl status myems-modbus-tcp.service

View the log:

cat /myems-modbus-tcp.log

Step 5 myems-cleaning

In this step, you will install myems-cleaning service.

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-cleaning /myems-cleaning
cd /myems-cleaning
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy exmaple.env file to .env and modify the .env file:

sudo cp /myems-cleaning/example.env /myems-cleaning/.env
sudo nano /myems-cleaning/.env

Setup systemd service:

sudo cp /myems-cleaning/myems-cleaning.service /lib/systemd/system/

Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable myems-cleaning.service

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start myems-cleaning.service

Monitor the service:

sudo systemctl status myems-cleaning.service

View the log:

cat /myems-cleaning.log

Step 6 myems-normalization

In this step, you will install myems-normalization service.

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-normalization /myems-normalization
cd /myems-normalization
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy exmaple.env file to .env and modify the .env file:

sudo cp /myems-normalization/example.env /myems-normalization/.env
sudo nano /myems-normalization/.env

Setup systemd service:

sudo cp /myems-normalization/myems-normalization.service /lib/systemd/system/

Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable myems-normalization.service

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start myems-normalization.service

Monitor the service:

sudo systemctl status myems-normalization.service

View the log:

cat /myems-normalization.log

Step 7 myems-aggregation

In this step, you will install myems-aggregation service.

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-aggregation /myems-aggregation
cd /myems-aggregation
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy exmaple.env file to .env and modify the .env file:

sudo cp /myems-aggregation/example.env /myems-aggregation/.env
nano /myems-aggregation/.env

Setup systemd service:

sudo cp /myems-aggregation/myems-aggregation.service /lib/systemd/system/

Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable myems-aggregation.service

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start myems-aggregation.service

Monitor the service:

sudo systemctl status myems-aggregation.service

View the log:

cat /myems-aggregation.log

Step 8 myems-web

In this step, you will install myems-web UI service.

Install NGINX Server

refer to http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#RHEL

Configure NGINX

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the 'http' section, add some directives:

http {
    client_header_timeout 600;
    client_max_body_size 512M;
    gzip on;
    gzip_min_length 512;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_types *;
    gzip_vary on;
    proxy_buffering off;
    ...

}

Update the nginx default conf file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Write with directives as below, and replace the default myems-api url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with actual url if the myems-api servcie hosted on different server

server {
    listen                 80;
    server_name     myems-web;
    location / {
        root    /var/www/myems-web;
        index index.html index.htm;
        # add try_files directive to avoid 404 error while refreshing pages
        try_files $uri  /index.html;
    }
    ## To avoid CORS issue, use Nginx to proxy myems-api to path /api
    ## Add another location /api in 'server'
    ## replace the default myems-api url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with actual url if the myems-api servcie hosted on different server
    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
        proxy_connect_timeout 75;
        proxy_read_timeout 600;
        send_timeout 600;
    }
}

Install MyEMS Web UI:

Setup NodeJS:

sudo dnf install nodejs

Modify the config.js file:

note

Get mapboxToken at https://mapbox.com and then set showOnlineMap to true. If you wnat to turn off online map feature, set showOnlineMap to false

cd ~/myems/myems-web
sudo nano src/config.js

Build and Compress

sudo npm i --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root --legacy-peer-deps
sudo npm run build

Install Upload the files to you web server. Note that the following path should be same as that was configured in nginx.conf.

sudo mv build  /var/www/myems-web

Unlock the port and add the port to firewall:

sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t  -p tcp 80
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Restart the nginx service:

sudo systemctl restart nginx.service

tip

If you encounter '500 Internal Server Error' nginx error, you may fix it by changing SELinx mode with command 'sudo setenforce 0'
