This guide explains how to install MastermindCMS on a Linux server for production environments. The server installation gives you:
  • Full control over infrastructure
  • Better performance and scalability
  • Integration with reverse proxies, SSL, and monitoring

​
Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • A Linux server (RHEL/CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu)
  • Root or sudo access
  • A public domain or subdomain
  • Open ports 80 and 443
MastermindCMS is designed to run containerized. Even on a server installation, Docker is required.

​
Step 1: Setup Local YUM Repository

Now on your UnixOS client machines, add your local repos to the YUM configuration.

​
RHEL/CentOS

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/local-repos.repo
Copy and paste the configuration below in the file local-repos.repo (make changes where necessary). 
[local-dreamcloud]
name=Dreamcloud Repo
baseurl=https://repouser:[email protected]/rpms
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Save the file and start using your local YUM mirrors. Next, run the following command to view your local repos in the list of available YUM repos, on the client machines. 
yum repolist all

​
Debian/Ubuntu

Import the public key into apt and add the repo to the sources. 
sudo apt-get install gnupg
wget -qO - https://<user>:<password>@repos.mastermindcms.com/debian/debian-repo-public.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://repouser:[email protected]/debian/ / " > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dreamcloud-repo.list
Update the available package list. 
sudo apt-get update

​
Step 2: Install MSM2 Application

​
RHEL/CentOS

Run the following command to install the MSM2 application on your server. 
yum install msm2-application
Run MSM2 Application with command below: 
service msm2-application start

​
Debian/Ubuntu

Run the following command to install the MSM2 application on your server. 
apt-get install msm2-application
Run MSM2 Application with command below: 
service msm2-application start
