Install on Linux

Choosing a package

• Debian / Ubuntu: download the .deb from the download page.
• RHEL / Fedora / Rocky / AlmaLinux / openSUSE: download the .rpm.
• Any other distribution: use the Docker image instead, or the generic .tar.gz (requires a JRE to already be installed — every other artefact bundles its own runtime).

Packages are built against the oldest supported release in each family, so a build that works on the newest Ubuntu LTS should also install cleanly on the previous one; the reverse is not guaranteed, since a package built against a newer glibc can refuse to install on an older system.

Installing

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i data-orchester_*.deb

# RHEL / Fedora / Rocky / AlmaLinux
sudo rpm -i data-orchester-*.rpm

The package creates a dedicated, unprivileged data-orchester service user and installs a systemd unit under that name. It does not run as root.

Managing the service

sudo systemctl status data-orchester
sudo systemctl start data-orchester
sudo systemctl enable data-orchester   # start on boot
sudo journalctl -u data-orchester -f   # follow logs

Directory layout

Application state lives under /opt/orchester by default, owned by the data-orchester service user — see the configuration reference for the entities/, logs/ and loggers/ subdirectories.
