  • 1.  Installation and configuration of Node.js and Nginx on IBMi

    Posted Tue July 04, 2023 06:16 AM

    Hello Team,

    Greetings of the day.

    I am looking for some assistance on how to "install/configure/integrate(not sure what is the exact word to use)".  To be honest I don't know anything about this and I need to start it from the scratch. I have researched on google and I could see that it is asking me to install the Node.Js using the YUM package but I didn't find the yum package to install which will have the Node.js files for the installation. 
    I am posting here to get some documentation or links on how / where to start this. Any comments would be appreciated. Kindly let me know if you need any additional information on this. Thank you all in advance.

    Regards,

    Suresh Gudelli

    This web page contains a hot link to obtaining YUM :  Installing Node.js for IBM i at https://docs.profoundlogic.com/display/PUI/Installing+Node.js+for+IBM+i   which points here for YUM :  https://bitbucket.org/ibmi/opensource/src/b1cc5212d396815a17badc57e7b7aadc836b4f5f/docs/yum/

    Hi.

    The official documentation or YUM and open source packages for IBM i can be found here:

    http://ibm.biz/ibmi-rpms

    Please note that nginx is not as integrated with IBM i as the built-in Apache web server - in case you want the use the integrated security like IBM i user profiles and groups.

    Best regards,

    Christian

    It's very easy to get yum installed.  From the ACS main window you can select your LPAR and then open the menu option:

    Actions > Management > Open Source Package Management

    When it connects to the LPAR, if yum is not already installed, it will be bootstrapped.

    Dear Steven

    I tried what you said and was presented with this Connect to SSH dialog :

    When I clicked OK after supplying the parameters as shown above, it detected a presumably self-sign certificate and asked me if I trusted it and I responded OK and then got this error : 

    My SSH connection appeared to be OK 

    Any idea what I should do to proceed?  I'm at IBM i 7.4 with PTFs of late last year.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have found the solution (not to use QSECOFR) from a chain of information starting from Christian's post that leads to this Technote  Getting started with Open Source Package Management in IBM i ACS at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/getting-started-open-source-package-management-ibm-i-acs    which them leads to this Technote  IBM i ACS Open Source Package Management Auth Fail Error at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1167988
