      How do I install the on-premise proxy?

      This article explains how to install the local proxy

      Prerequisites

      The local proxy allows one of the following:

      1. A direct proxy (this server needs complete internet connectivity)
      2. A relay proxy (relay on an existing proxy)

      The prerequisites for the server are:

      • Operating system:
        • Ubuntu Server - Version 20.04 (LTS)
      • Hardware:

        Size CPU Memory Cache Size HDD Total size
        Small 2x2GHz 6GB 50GB 100GB
        Medium 4x2GHz 12GB 100GB 150GB
        Large 4x2GHz 16GB 200GB 200GB
      • Allow Network (Firewall configuration)
        • From agents to Proxy via HTTP and HTTPS on port 3128
        • From Proxy to the Internet via HTTP and HTTPS on ports 80 and 443 respectively

      Installation

      1. Download the proxy installation script:

      1. Copy the downloaded file to the target machine
      2. From inside that folder run the installer.sh script. The installation script takes the size (in GB) for the cache store as a parameter 
        chmod +x ./installer.sh
        sudo ./installer.sh -s <size in GB>
      3. Follow the script's instructions to fix any issues with the environment
