Anyone have Expedition running on Unbuntu in Azure?

[DaveTheWolf]

Folks, I've installed Expedition on an Azure 16.04.7 instance of Ubuntu in Azure.  To get the setup script to successfully complete, I had to run a few prerequisite commands.  Everything in Expedition seems to run correctly, but when I import a Palo xml config, the import hangs about 3/4 the way through.  The same config imports successfully on an on-premise Expedition that was installed from the legacy VM OVA install.  Anyone else having issues running Expedition in Azure?  I am running the latest 1.1.98 code.

Also, here are the Linux commands to get Expedition to complete the install in Azure.  Python 3.7, PIP 3.7 and Maria mysql must be pre-installed, or the setup fails.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,arm64,i386,ppc64el] http://mirror.nodesdirect.com/mariadb/repo/10.3/ubuntu xenial main'

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server -y     <-WHEN PROMPTED, USE THE PASSWORD 'paloalto'

sudo apt-get install mariadb-client -y

sudo apt-get install python3.7 -y

sudo apt-get install python3-pip -y

sudo python3.7 -m pip install pip --upgrade

COPY THE expeditionInstaller.tgz FILE TO THE UBUNTU SERVER

sudo gunzip expeditionInstaller.tgz

sudo tar -xf expeditionInstaller.tar

sudo adduser --gecos '' expedition          <-WHEN PROMPTED, USE THE PASSWORD 'paloalto'

sudo /initSetup.sh

@DaveTheWolf  Any Error message shows in /tmp/error?

[DaveTheWolf]

I figured it out.  We had to install Maria mysql from a special repository at DigitalOcean.  This is the repository in the install script. It works now. Updated script is below.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://sgp1.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu xenial main'

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18 -y --allow-unauthenticated

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server -y --allow-unauthenticated <-WHEN PROMPTED, USE THE PASSWORD 'paloalto'

sudo apt-get install mariadb-client -y --allow-unauthenticated

sudo apt-get install python3.7 -y --allow-unauthenticated

sudo apt-get install python3-pip -y --allow-unauthenticated

sudo python3.7 -m pip install pip --upgrade

COPY THE expeditionInstaller.tgz FILE TO THE UBUNTU SERVER

sudo gunzip expeditionInstaller.tgz

sudo tar -xf expeditionInstaller.tar

sudo adduser --gecos '' expedition          <-WHEN PROMPTED, USE THE PASSWORD 'paloalto'

sudo /initSetup.sh

** After the install completes, run this.

apt-get install libestr0 libfastjson4 liblognorm5 rsyslog

sudo apt-mark hold libmariadbclient18 libmysqlclient18
