Deploy from Console Installer¶

To deploy FindFace Security standalone, you can use a developer-friendly console installer.

Warning

The installer cannot be used to update FindFace Security.

Warning

The FindFace Security host must have a static IP address in order to be running successfully. To make the IP address static, open the etc/network/interfaces file and modify the current primary network interface entry as shown in the case study below. Be sure to substitute the suggested addresses with the actual ones, subject to your network specification.

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.112.144
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.112.254
dns-nameservers 192.168.112.254

Restart networking.

sudo service networking restart

Be sure to edit the etc/network/interfaces file with extreme care. Please refer to the Ubuntu guide on networking before proceeding.

Deploy Step-By-Step

To deploy from an installer, do the following:

Download the installer file <findface-security-xxx>.run.
Put the .run file into some directory on the designated host (for example, /home/username).
From this directory, make the .run file executable.
```
chmod +x <findface-security-xxx>.run
```

Execute the .run file.

sudo ./<findface-security-xxx>.run

The installer will perform several automated checks to ensure that the host meets the system requirements. After that, the FindFace Security components will be automatically installed, configured and/or started in the following configuration:

Component	Details
findface-postgres-facen	Installed and started.
ffsecurity	Installed and started.
ffsecurity-ui	Installed and started.
fkvideo_detector	Installed and started.
findface-extraction-api	Installed and started.
NTLS	Installed and started.
nginx	Installed and started.
PostgreSQL database	Installed and started in a standard configuration.
Redis	Installed and started.

Once the installation is complete, the following output will be shown on the console:

Be sure to save this data: you will need it later.

Upload the FindFace Security license file via the NTLS web interface http://<Host_IP_address>:3185/#/. To access the NTLS web interface, use the credentials provided in the console.

Note

The host IP address is shown in the links to FindFace web services in the following way: as an external IP address if the host belongs to a network, or 127.0.0.1 otherwise.

Important

Do not disclose the superuser (Super Administrator) credentials to others. To administer the system, create a new user with the administrator privileges. Whatever the role, Super Administrator cannot be deprived of its rights.
