All openSUSE and ELMA related RPM packages are provided by the openSUSE Build Service a public instance of the Open Build Service (OBS) used for development of the openSUSE and ELMA distribution:
This HOWTO explains the initial steps of creating a basic setup of ELMA and openSUSE distribution.
It’s really simple:
If you are importing into VMware ESX, choose the OVF appliance download. Logical Volume Manager (LVM) applies to the Disk image, VMware, OVF and Preload ISO formats only!
Before first boot it is strongly recommend that the Hardware (CMOS/BIOS) clock is set to UTC/GMT!
On the first boot, you will be asked to configure several items:
Hard Drive Preparation (Preload ISO image only)
Language
Keyboard Layout
Hostname and Domain Name
Network Configuration
Clock and Time Zone
Set the ROOT password
Login into the appliance (Use the static IP or FQDN you have configured during first boot)
ssh 192.168.178.25
user: root
password: (use the password you entered during the wizard)
Separate or extended LVM Volumes with a sizing depending on your specific requirements
/var/lib/elasticsearch (ElasticSearch default working space)
/var/log/syslog (rsyslog flat file archive)
Run the reconfigure script for initial configuration
/usr/share/elma/bin/elma-reconfigure.sh --all
Login into web gui (Use the static IP or FQDN you have configured during first boot)
https://192.168.178.25
user: admin
password: biglog
Immediately change the admin user password
Check or modify ELMA and openSUSE configuration
Network settings
DNS settings
NTP settings
Proxy settings
