Tungsten Dashboard

Common Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are common across both deployment methods (docker-compose and helm):

  • A staging/admin host for download and unpacking the various tools and for holding the Tungsten Dashboard installation packages. There are no specific OS version requirements, other than the host must be a Linux family host or VM.

    If deploying Dashboard using docker-compose, then the staging host can also be used as the host for installation.

  • Access to download the latest Tungsten Dashboard packages is via the Continuent Download Portal. If you do not have access, please contact Continuent Support.

  • Tungsten Clusters that are running v8.0.0 (or later).

    • Tungsten Dashboard v8 will NOT connect to Tungsten Clusters running older versions
    • If you are using an older release and are unable to upgrade at this time, you will need to follow the installation steps in the "Tungsten Dashboard v1".

  • A configured directory for storing downloaded Tungsten images. Further examples in this documentation use /opt/continuent/software as this location and aligns with the recommended default for all Tungsten software staging locations.

  • A non-root OS user, we recommend configuring an OS user called tungsten

  • OPTIONAL: openssl - used for fetching certificates

  • OPTIONAL: keytool - used for generating jks files, included with Java
