In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install and configure OpenShift Origin on Ubuntu 20.04. Whether you are using a  or any other VPS solution, OpenShift Origin can be deployed to enhance your container management capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<p>Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server, which could be hosted on a <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">UK Windows VPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">Windows VPSVirtual Private Server Hosting<\/a>, or any <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">Windows VPS Hosting UK<\/a> environment.<\/li>\n<li>At least 4 GB of RAM for the OpenShift cluster node.<\/li>\n<li>Root or sudo privileges on your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1: Update Your System<\/h2>\n<p>As always, start by updating your system to ensure all packages are up to date. Run the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 2: Install Docker<\/h2>\n<p>OpenShift uses Docker as its container runtime. To install Docker, run the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common\r\ncurl -fsSL https:\/\/download.docker.com\/linux\/ubuntu\/gpg | sudo apt-key add -\r\nsudo add-apt-repository \"deb [arch=amd64] https:\/\/download.docker.com\/linux\/ubuntu focal stable\"\r\nsudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install docker-ce -y<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>After the installation, start and enable Docker:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo systemctl start docker\r\nsudo systemctl enable docker<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Install OpenShift Origin (OKD)<\/h2>\n<p>Next, download and install the OpenShift Origin CLI tools. These tools allow you to interact with your OpenShift cluster.<\/p>\n<pre><code>curl -LO https:\/\/github.com\/openshift\/origin\/releases\/download\/v3.11.0\/openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit.tar.gz\r\ntar -xvf openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit.tar.gz\r\nsudo mv openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit\/oc \/usr\/local\/bin\/<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 4: Start OpenShift Cluster<\/h2>\n<p>With the OpenShift CLI (oc) installed, you can now start the OpenShift cluster. Use the following command to deploy a local cluster:<\/p>\n<pre><code>oc cluster up<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will start a single-node OpenShift cluster on your local machine.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Access the OpenShift Web Console<\/h2>\n<p>Once the cluster is up and running, you can access the OpenShift web console by navigating to <code>https:\/\/127.0.0.1:8443\/console<\/code> in your web browser. You can log in using the default developer account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Username: <code>developer<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Password: <code>developer<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you prefer to use the administrative account, the username is <code>system:admin<\/code>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Configure Persistent Storage (Optional)<\/h2>\n<p>If you need persistent storage for your applications, configure a persistent volume (PV) in OpenShift. Here\u2019s an example of a simple PV configuration:<\/p>\n<pre><code>apiVersion: v1\r\nkind: PersistentVolume\r\nmetadata:\r\n  name: pv0001\r\nspec:\r\n  capacity:\r\n    storage: 5Gi\r\n  accessModes:\r\n    - ReadWriteOnce\r\n  hostPath:\r\n    path: \"\/mnt\/data\"<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Apply the configuration with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre><code>oc apply -f pv.yaml<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 7: Deploy an Application<\/h2>\n<p>You can now deploy an application to your OpenShift cluster. For example, to deploy an Nginx application, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre><code>oc new-app nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>OpenShift will automatically pull the Nginx image, create a deployment, and expose the service.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 8: Expose the Application<\/h2>\n<p>To make your application accessible from outside the cluster, expose the service with a route:<\/p>\n<pre><code>oc expose svc\/nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will create a public URL for your Nginx application that you can access in your web browser.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>By following these steps, you have successfully installed and configured OpenShift Origin PaaS server on Ubuntu 20.04.
