Cloudmersive Private Cloud can be installed via an Offline install method. This allows customers to deploy, operate, manage and update Cloudmerisve Private Cloud on servers with no Internet connection at all. You will still need access to a workstation that has at least temporary access to the Internet to download the necessary installation packages from the Cloudmersive Management Portal. Once these packages have been downloaded, deployment can be done entirely offline using only local resources. You will need a mechanism to transfer these files to the installation machine, such as a thumb drive, network file share, etc.

Pre-requisites

Ensure that you have provisioned a machine with the needed specifications:

• Windows Server 2022 with latest OS updates installed
• 1 Intel x64 core
• 16 GB of RAM
• 300 GB of disk space
• Open port 80 or 443 depending on desired network connectivity
• Appropriate network access

Installation

• Navigate to the Cloudmersive Management Portal and click on Private Cloud Deployment
• Click on the relevant server to install; note that each must be configured independently
• Click on Configure Node
• Configure the Node External Address to be the public IP of the server. If it does not have a public IP, use the private IP of the server. Under Node Internal Address configure the private IP address of the server (e.g. the IP of the server NIC/vNIC).
• Click on Save Changes
• Click on Windows Server 2022 (Offline)
• Follow the instructions to download the relevant packages. Be sure to follow the steps carefully to place the files into C:\cloudmersive on the installation server. Note that the installer must be extracted, and the files within the extracted folder should be placed directly into the C:\cloudmersive folder without the extracted parent folder.
• Follow the instructions to run the relevant commands to perform the installation. Note that only one reboot is necessary
• Test your server by navigating to http://serverip-or-hostname
