Introduction

Opmantek applications' released on or after 30 Sept 2020 will work on Opmantek's latest and fastest platform, however, earlier installed products are incompatible with this new platform.

This solution was needed as NMIS 8.6.7G1, opReports 3.2.0 and other Opmantek applications released prior to 30 September were installed on server(s).
However, opReports 3.5.2 was needed to improve the Node Health Report prior to opReports 3.5.2

Install parallel opReports 3.5.2 to /opt/omk/

opReports 3.2.0 and other Opmantek applications released prior to 30 September were installed on server(s) at /usr/local/omk/

opReports 3.5.2 was then installed at /opt/omk/ as follows:

• Move the tar archive opReports-3.5.2-standalone.tar.gz, provided by Opmantek for this purpose, to /opt/ directory on server to be deployed to; 

• Then deploy:
  
  /opt/

Food for thought: Experimental (untested) suggestions

1. Implement the omkd-standalone service on port 8043:

2. This suggestion requires implementation of omkd-standalone service on port 8043 as per Point 1. immediately above.
   This suggestion should integrate omkd.service and omkd-standalone service better - with opReports 3.5.2 seamlessly replacing opReports 3.2 in the GUI.
   Replaces /etc/apache2/conf.d/05omk-standalone-proxy.conf with this /etc/apache2/conf.d/03omk-standalone-proxy.conf

How opReports-3.5.2-standalone.tar.gz was built

opReports-3.5.2-standalone.tar.gz was created as follows:

• Install NMIS8 at /usr/local/nmis8 on a new VM with desired operating system created for the purpose of assembling opReports-3.5.2-standalone.tar.gz
  
  
  

• Install the needed version of opReports at the default install directory /usr/local/omk

  • In this case we checked out git tag opReports-3.5.2 and built standalone opReports:
    
    

    sudo ./build/make_opreports_standalone_release 3.5.2 2

  • The above command generates both the normal opReports installer runfile and leaves a directory on snotra3 /usr/local/opmojo_abi3/standalone_bin/ which contains the standalone binary and symbolic links in the snotra3 /usr/local/opmojo_abi3/standalone_bin/install/ directory that represent the standalone scripts that replace the /usr/local/opmojo_abi3/bin/ scripts in a standalone installation as set out in the next code box.
    
    
    

• Create our custom install of opReports at /opt/omk
  
  
  /opt/
