Installing the Horizon Deb Package on Edge Systems

To install the bluehorizon deb package on a system running debian or ubuntu:

• wget -qO - http://pkg.bluehorizon.network/bluehorizon.network-public.key | sudo apt-key add -
• For RPi stable:

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bluehorizon.list
deb [arch=armhf] http://pkg.bluehorizon.network/linux/raspbian jessie main
deb [arch=armhf] http://pkg.bluehorizon.network/linux/raspbian jessie-updates main
EOF

• For amd64 testing:

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bluehorizon.list
deb [arch=amd64] http://pkg.bluehorizon.network/linux/ubuntu xenial-testing main
EOF

• Install docker: curl -s https://get.docker.com/ | bash

• Install bluehorizon:

apt update
apt install bluehorizon

• This will install docker as a prereq, then the horizon.service will be installed and start automatically.

• (Optional) If you want to change horizon settings:

systemctl stop horizon.service
# edit files in /etc/default/horizon and /etc/horizon/*
systemctl start horizon.service

• (Optional) If you want Horizon workloads' logs to go to individual files in /var/log/workload:

cat <<'EOF' > /etc/rsyslog.d/10-horizon-docker.conf
$template DynamicWorkloadFile,"/var/log/workload/%syslogtag:R,ERE,1,DFLT:.*workload-([^\[]+)--end%.log"

:syslogtag, startswith, "workload-" -?DynamicWorkloadFile
& stop
:syslogtag, startswith, "docker/" -/var/log/docker_containers.log
& stop
:syslogtag, startswith, "docker" -/var/log/docker.log
& stop
EOF
service rsyslog restart
