Enabling DeployR on the Cloud

  • 發行項

Applies to: DeployR 8.x (See comparison between 8.x and 9.x)

Looking to deploy with Machine Learning Server? Start here.

You can set up DeployR on Microsoft Azure or AWS. For each instance, be sure to:

  1. Set the server Web context to an external, public IP address and disable IP autodetection.

  2. Open three DeployR external ports by adding Azure endpoints or opening the ports through the AWS console to set the appropriate permissions.

  3. Update the firewall to set the appropriate security permissions on the internal and external ports used by DeployR.

  4. Have the minimum required disk space (or more) for the installation of DeployR. Refer to the installation guide for your DeployR version and operating system.

We highly recommended that you also enable HTTPS support for DeployR to secure the communications to the server.

Enabling DeployR on Azure

You can set up DeployR on Microsoft Azure. For each Azure instance, be sure to:

  1. Set the server Web context to an external, public IP address.

  2. Open three DeployR external ports by adding Azure endpoints to set the appropriate permissions.

  3. Update the firewall to set the appropriate security permissions on the internal and external ports used by DeployR.


### Setting the Server Web Context

The DeployR server Web context must be updated to the Public IP address of the virtual machine.

To update the DeployR server Web context:

You must update the server Web context or else you will not be able to access to the DeployR landing page or other DeployR components after installation.

  1. Log into the Azure portal and take note of the Public IP address.

    Public IP Address in Azure portal

  2. If DeployR was installed on a virtual machine, remote desktop or SSH into that machine.

  3. For DeployR for Microsoft R Server 8.0.5:

    1. Launch the DeployR administrator utility script with administrator privileges:

      • On Windows, run:

        cd %REVODEPLOYR8_1_HOME%\deployr\tools\ 
adminUtilities.bat

      • On Linux, run:

        cd $DEPLOYR_HOME/deployr/tools/
sudo ./adminUtilities.sh 
```

    2. From the main menu, choose option Run Diagnostics. Make sure that the database is running. The database must be running before you can proceed to the next step.

    3. Return to the main menu, choose option Web Context and Security.

    4. From the sub-menu, choose option Specify New IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

    5. When prompted to specify a new IP or FQDN, enter the new IP or FQDN.

    6. When prompted to confirm the new value, enter Y. This change will also disable Automatic IP detection to prevent the new value you just assigned from being overwritten.

    7. Return to the main menu, choose the option to set a password for the local DeployR admin account.

    8. Enter a password for this account. Passwords must be 8-16 characters long and contain at least 1 or more uppercase character(s), 1 or more lowercase character(s), 1 or more number(s), and 1 or more special character(s).

    9. Confirm the password.

    10. Return to the main menu and choose option Start/Stop Server. You must restart DeployR so that the changes can take effect.

    11. When prompted whether you want to stop (S) or restart (R) the DeployR server, enter R. It may take some time for the Tomcat process to terminate and restart.

    12. Exit the utility.

  4. For DeployR 8.0.0:

    • On Windows:

      1. Make sure that the MongoDB database is running. The database must be running before you can proceed to the next step before you update the Web Context.

      2. Open a Command Window with “Run as Administrator”.

      3. Set the appropriate public IP where <ip_address> is the public IP address of the machine. Learn more about this script.

        cd $DEPLOYR_HOME\deployr\tools\
setWebContext -ip <ip_address>  -disableauto

      4. Confirm the IP address you entered.

      5. Disable any automatic IP detection that might overwrite the IP you just assigned.

        setWebContext -disableauto

    • On Linux:

      1. Set the IP using the setWebContext.sh script where <ip_address> is the public IP address of the machine. Learn more about the script arguments.

        cd $DEPLOYR_HOME/deployr/tools/
./setWebContext.sh -ip <ip_address>

      2. Confirm the IP address you entered.

      3. Disable any automatic IP detection that might overwrite the IP you just assigned.

        ./setWebContext.sh -disableauto

    For this change to take effect restart the DeployR 8.0.0 service. Between stopping and starting, be sure to pause long enough for the Tomcat process to terminate.

We highly recommended that you also enable HTTPS support for DeployR to secure the communications to the server.

Configuring Azure Endpoints

When provisioning your DeployR server on Azure, you must open Azure endpoints for several DeployR ports.

If custom ports were defined during installation, enable those instead.
