    Hi Ahmad,

    The same as for an online installation, you need to add the Instana repo and download and install the Instana package on an internet-connected system. Next you need to export the images and transfer it to the airgapped target.

    You can find the steps here:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=installer-installing-instana-backend-docker#air-gapped-installation-on-a-target-host

    Prerequisite: Make sure that Docker is installed on the target host that has no internet connectivity.

    1. On a host with internet connectivity, install instana-console as described in the 1. Install the Instana package.

    2. Download the required binary files.

      Two files are required for an air-gapped installation:

      • The instana-console binary

        For Ubuntu/Debian, run the command apt-get download instana-console.

        For Red Hat/CentOS, run the command yum install --downloadonly instana-console.

        Or you can mirror the Instana repository.

      • The archive with Instana Docker containers

        Run the command instana images export to create an export-{version}.tar within the execution directory.

    3. Copy the files to the target host that has no internet connectivity.

    4. Install instana-console from the package that you previously downloaded and transferred.

    5. Ensure that Docker is installed.

    6. To import the containers, run the command instana images import -f <path/to/export-{version}.tar>.

    7. Start the installation as described in the installation section.

    To check a list of mandatory containers, run the command instana images version. This command lists all the Docker containers and their corresponding version.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,
