Prerequisites to install DevOps Test Hub on Ubuntu

You must complete certain tasks before you install HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) on the Ubuntu platform.

The following sections describe prerequisites in detail:

Internet access
Ubuntu Server
Backup of user data
Mandatory software

Internet access

You must have access to the internet to install Test Hub.

Ubuntu Server

You must install the supported version of Ubuntu Server and have a working Domain Name Server (DNS) that resolves the hostname into a machine-readable IP address.

For more information about specific versions of software requirements, see System Requirements for DevOps Test Hub 2024.03 (11.0.1).

Note: Depending on your testing workload, Test Hub might require more resources. You must use the entire disk space and set up Logical Volume Manager (LVM) by using the ext4 file system. If your organization requires user data to be stored in a separate partition, then you can create a mount point at /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/ with at least 128 GB capacity.

Backup of user data

If you want to upgrade Test Hub from a previous version, then you must perform one of the following tasks based on the existing version of Test Hub:

Back up the data from V10.0.2, Fix Pack 1 or earlier. See Backing up the user data from a previous release.
Back up the data from V10.1.0 or later. See Backing up DevOps Test Hub data on Ubuntu.
Note: You must select the existing version of Test Hub from the drop-down list to view the procedure to back up and restore the user data for your version because the instructions differ for different versions.

Mandatory software

You must install the following mandatory software:

Helm. For more information, refer to the Helm documentation. For more information about specific versions of software requirements, see System Requirements for DevOps Test Hub 2024.03 (11.0.1).
Note: The Helm command must be in one of the directories in your PATH environment variable.
OpenSSH Server. For more information, refer to the Installation section in the OpenSSH Server documentation.

Note: If you use ssh to log in to the computer, then you can skip this step because OpenSSH is already installed on your computer.
