Install Qlik Replicate

robinhood1 — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:27:54 GMT

I would like to do a Linux Installation of Qlik Replicate

Scenario 1 - EC2 AWS Linux 2023 Install

Scenario 2 - Dockerfile and Qlik Replicate container on AWS EKS Kubernetes cluster using Linux version of Qlik Replicate.

Scenario 3 - Automated installation using Ansible Role or Playbook. I'd like to use this with Scenario 2 if that is possible.

Thanks,
Robin Hood

Hi @robinhood1

Amazon Linux 2023 platform is supported on the latest version of Qlik Replicate - please change the version at the top left of the user guide screen to check which platforms are supported for other versions: Supported platforms #Supported platforms | Qlik Replicate Help

I don't see an option for a silent install on Linux, although it is supported on Windows: Setting up Qlik Replicate on Linux #Setting up Qlik Replicate on Linux | Qlik Replicate Help

Others may be able to provide a more comprehensive response.

You might also consider requesting support for silent install on Linux with your preferred tools directly to our Product Managers here: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Ideas/idb-p/qlik-ideas

Hope this helps,

Dana

Qlik provides the Linux installation files (rpm files). And then you can install using the commands.

user=qlikr group=qlikr verbose=true iport=8080 rport=8081 rpm -i[vh] --prefix /opt/qlikr/ areplicate-6.4.0-102.x86_64.rpm ./repctl SETSERVERPASSWORD adminA@2025 ./areplicate start

We can also dockerize the application. You can have simillar Dockerfile like below

# Use a base image with minimal tools and RPM support FROM centos:7 # Set environment variables for Qlik Replicate setup ENV USER=qlikr \ GROUP=qlikr \ VERBOSE=true \ IPORT=8080 \ RPORT=8081 # Create the user and group for Qlik Replicate RUN groupadd -r $GROUP && \ useradd -r -g $GROUP $USER # Copy the Qlik Replicate RPM file into the container # Replace `areplicate-6.4.0-102.x86_64.rpm` with the correct path if necessary COPY areplicate-6.4.0-102.x86_64.rpm /tmp/ # Install the RPM and set the installation prefix RUN rpm -ivh --prefix /opt/$USER/ /tmp/areplicate-6.4.0-102.x86_64.rpm && \ rm -f /tmp/areplicate-6.4.0-102.x86_64.rpm # Set the server password using the `repctl` command RUN /opt/$USER/repctl SETSERVERPASSWORD adminA@2025 # Expose ports for Qlik Replicate EXPOSE $IPORT $RPORT # Start the Qlik Replicate service CMD ["/opt/qlikr/areplicate", "start"]

So you can Dockerize the Qlik Replicate without using a Windows Wine, "Wine Is Not an Emulator"?

IOW, actually have a Linux binary for Qlik Replicate that runs natively on Linux?

Can it run on Ubuntu? or only RedHat?

thanks,
