How To: Install OCS on Ubuntu 21.04

What is OCS or OCSng?:

In short, OCS (Open Computers and Software Inventory Next Generation) is an assets management and deployment solution.

OCS can be directly integrated with GLPI for seamless asset tracking automation. Check out my other blog post on how to install GLPI

Overview:

In this article, we will go step-by-step on how to install OCS on Ubuntu 21.04. There are a few installation gotchas that I have overcome that are not mentioned in the OCS documentation and I wanted to share this information so that anyone just getting into OCS or wanting to know more about OCS doesn’t have to go through the same pain I had to.

Prerequisites:

  • Note: All commands are done via an SSH connection in this guide.

To start you will need to open an SSH session to your Ubuntu machine, if you are on windows you can use putty or even PowerShell to achieve this.

Install the various array of applications and extensions needed to properly run OCS.

apt-get install -y apache2 build-essential libapache2-mod-php libapache-dbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmojolicious-perl libswitch-perl libnet-ip-perl libplack-handler-anyevent-fcgi-perl libsoap-lite-perl libxml-simple-perl make mariadb-client mariadb-server php php-apcu php-bz2 php-cas php-curl php-curl php-gd php-iconv php-imagick php-imap php-intl php-json php-ldap php-mbstring php-memcache php-mysql php-pclzip php-pear php-pspell php-soap php-tidy php-xml php-xmlrpc php-xsl php-zip
cpan install XML::Entities
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  • Command Block #02
    • cpan install XML::Entities
      • Used primarily for Perl modules, this module deals with the decoding of strings with XML character entities
  • Command Block #03
    • apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
      • && means to run command 2 only if command 1 succedes

Install OCS Inventory:

Next, install OCS so that certain OCS configuration files will be created and staged. We will configure OCS at a later point in the walkthrough.

wget https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-ocsreports/releases/download/2.9/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.9.tar.gz

Setup has created a log file /home/normal/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.9/ocs_server_setup.log. Please, save this file.
If you encounter error while running OCS Inventory NG Management server,
we can ask you to show us its content !

DON'T FORGET TO RESTART APACHE DAEMON !

Enjoy OCS Inventory NG ;-)

Configure the MariaDB database:

After installing OCS, we will work on configuring the MariaDB database.

systemctl enable mariadb && systemctl start mariadb
mysql_secure_installation

Create a password for the MariaDB root account as the default is nothing, then for the remaining initial setup wizard accept the defaults using “Y“.

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] Y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!


By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

After running through the MariaDB setup wizard, log into the MariaDB management interface.

mysql -u root -p

Prestage a database for OCS as well as assign it a dedicated service account with full permissions. This database & service account will be used later on when it comes to the OCS setup wizard.

The user account and password below are examples and should be adjusted to fit your needs accordingly.

create database ocsweb;
CREATE USER 'ocssa'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password12345';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ocsweb. * TO 'ocssa'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password12345';
flush privileges;
exit;
  • Command Block #01
    • systemctl enable mariadb && systemctl start mariadb
      • systemctl is an init system and system manager that has widely become the new standard for Linux distributions
      • systemctl enable mariadb tells the MariaDB service to auto-start on boot
      • systemctl start mariadb tells the httpdapache service start right now

Configure Apache Web Server:

After installing the prerequisites we will now work on configuring the HTTPd\Apache webserver.

Edit the PHP “php.ini” to better optimize certain settings for OCS.

# To edit in vim use: i
# To save and quit vim use: Esc + :wq!

vim /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

Look for the following lines and adjust the settings to better fit your needs. The values below are what I have found to be a good balance when running OCS for small to medium businesses.

post_max_size = 50M
upload_max_filesize = 50M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 256M

Since we changed the default username and password for OCS we need to update OCS’s configuration files with the database’s service account username and password. (This is also where you would change the database name if you didn’t want to use OCSng’s default “ocsweb” database name.)

# To edit in vim use: i
# To save and quit vim use: Esc + :wq!  

vim /etc/apache2/conf-available/z-ocsinventory-server.conf
  # Name of database
  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_NAME ocsweb
  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_LOCAL ocsweb
  # User allowed to connect to database
  PerlSetEnv OCS_DB_USER ocssa
  # Password for user
  PerlSetVar OCS_DB_PWD Password12345

To have computers be able to communicate with the OCsng server, we will also need to adjust OCS’s API configuration file as well.

# To edit in vim use: i
# To save and quit vim use: Esc + :wq!  

vim /etc/apache2/conf-available/zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf
  # Name of database
       $ENV{OCS_DB_LOCAL} = 'ocsweb';
  # User allowed to connect to database
       $ENV{OCS_DB_USER} = 'ocssa';
  # Password for user
       $ENV{OCS_DB_PWD} = 'Password12345';

Once OCS is installed, it generates Apache configuration files that will need to be enabled by creating alias.

ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/ocsinventory-reports.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ocsinventory-reports.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/z-ocsinventory-server.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/z-ocsinventory-server.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf

    • chown -R
      • chown changes the user and/or group ownership of each given file
      • -R is used to do it recursively
      • www-data:www-data is used to give permission to the apache user and group

    • systemctl enable apache2 && systemctl start apache2

      • systemctl enable apache2 tells the httpdapache service to auto-start on boot
      • systemctl start apache2 tells the httpdapache service start right now

Configure OCS:

After installing OCS, prestaging HTTPdApache, and MariaDB, we will now run through the setup wizard to finish setting up the OCS instance.

Browse out to the following: “http://IP-OF-SERVER/ocsreports“, and follow along with the setup wizard to complete the installation and setup of OCS.

Default OCS Login = admin,admin

Clean up:

Rename the “install.php” file in the “OCSReports” directory after the setup wizard is complete or OCS will warn you when you log in.

mv /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/install.php /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/install.php.bck

    If anyone can help me out, no matter what I do, I keep getting the problem listed here below when installing the Windows Agent:

    XX.XXX.XXX:80 X.X.X.X – – [19/Oct/2022:21:32:12 +0300] “GET /ocsinventory/deploy/label HTTP/1.1” 404 4031 “-” “OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.9.2.0”
    XX.XXX.XXX:80 X.X.X.X – – [19/Oct/2022:21:32:13 +0300] “POST /ocsinventory HTTP/1.1” 404 4031 “-” “OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.9.2.0”

    And I can’t figure out why. I’ve gone through at least a dozen different articles on installing OCS inventory and I just don’t get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To get computers to successfully connect to the server, I had to also modify database/user/password for mysql in /etc/apache2/conf-available/zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf

    Worked great, there was one typo in the mysql database creation: should be CREATE USER ‘ocssa’, not ‘oscsa’

    create database ocsweb;
    CREATE USER ‘oscsa’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘Password12345’;
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ocsweb. * TO ‘ocssa’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘Password12345’;

      Hi Jim, thank you for pointing out this typo and the missing API config. I have updated the post with these changes.

        Hi Jim, whilst you change some reference to oscsa, you didn’t change them all (maybe do a find on this page)
        Tripped me up!

          Hi Andy, thanks for the feed back, sounds like I need to proofread some items across these articles. I’ll see about updating them this weekend.

        ok, so I’m one of those who was following the ‘Just Give me the Commands’ link. It’s in there!
