DVLS GW: Install on Linux Server

Hello Andreas,

You can find more information and the Linux installer here:

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for reaching out!

It’s surprising that the download page mentions requirements for Ubuntu without providing the Linux artifacts. I’ll report this.

In the meantime, you can download .deb packages for the Devolutions Gateway from the following page: https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-gateway/releases

Alternatively, we also maintain docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/devolutions/devolutions-gateway

Regarding documentation, we didn’t publish much yet. However, there is almost no difference with the Windows version. The only restriction is that only the Windows version supports using the system certificate store.

If you have any specific questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out again.

Best regards,

Hello,

A 'how to' article on setting up gateway using the docker image would be very useful. Any chance the documentation on Github or https://hub.docker.com/ could be updated to include this pls? Additionally it would be nice to include information on setting up the docker container/image to automatically update.

Thanks
Joe

On this subject, have yourself or François progressed at all adding the gateway container to the dvls docker compose at all?

I have the Dvls docker running fine but haven't had time to work with the gateway dockerfile to get it operational, I tried to run from source but something always failed, i have only tried the Ubuntu gateway tag so far which was a failure. Unfortunately my docker knowledge isn't good enough to be able to lift and shift the current gateway dockerfile to the dvls compose file and tweaking the parameters to fit alongside the dvls compose.

(trying to not let my python learning from evaporating again lol, especially now I've got to pass an intro to programming in python exam for 15 credits towards bsc cyber security lol)

Ive tried installing the Gateway Linux binary in the DVLS container itself which runs but i appear to be missing something in the configuration? Added the docker compose port bindings to the DVLS container for 7171 & 8181, but I never seemed to get the DVLS server UI to contact the Gateway url or hostname??

Using this article Devolutions Gateway configuration on Linux - Devolutions Documentation, but it does not seem to correlate to what im seeing in the DVLS container? the dpkg installs, yet /etc/devoltutions-gateway etc is never added / populated,

Also, the Devolutions PowerShell module installs ok, yet the docs doesn't suggest any way to even setup the gateway for dvls using the PowerShell modules, it just suggests that the DVLS & DPS consoles use PowerShell??

Could anyone on the team provide some aid with deploying Gateway for DVLS using only PowerShell for Linux CLI, thanks in advance for any help. Might be worth adding something related to this latest post on the docs pages for Gateway, guidance for installing, deploying, and managing Gateway instances using only PowerShell on both Linux and Windows (although Windows does have the gui consoles which make this mostly redundant for most users)

(I'm currently using Github Workspaces session on the Devolutions Server repo to plan tasks to deploy gateway using powershell, I just noticed the cmdlets stored in there. This seems an ideal task for Github nexts workspace is developed for GitHub Next | Copilot Workspace....)

Hi John,

I am not working on the DVLS/Gateway containers compose feature. I’ll let know François and Adam of your message.
I may not be able to look into this this soon on my side.

You may need to run the Gateway once for the default configuration file to be created.

There is an option to only initialize the configuration:

devolutions-gateway --config-init-only

I’ll follow up on the rest later.

Best regards,

Ok tha
reply, ill havr await for upday to my other posts on sim topic, as i keep running into the systemd issue attempting to insall, via pwsh in the dvls container would you happen t kn where the gatew dkpg installs bunarie too? I try yoyr sugeg then or try variations om the binary?

Hi John,

I have that on my list to work on. There is technically a Gateway Docker file, but not sure how well it works at the moment. https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-gateway/tree/master/package/Linux

I am going to rework that, similar in format to the DVLS one, and hopefully will have that done in the next two weeks. I'll then put it out in the same spot as the DVLS one.

For the Ubuntu Docker, there is no SystemD, that is why I use the s6-overlay instead. Docker has a much different process setup (everything runs under 1). Ideally, I want the ability to run multiple Gateway containers to easily create a Gateway farm in DVLS. I'll update this post as I make progress.

Sounds good, I'll put my explorative discovery trial on hold again I think, what your aiming for sounds superb, I appreciate your time is sparse too, FYI I also tried those docker hub image tags which wouldn't even fire up lol.

Thanks aga
