For production environments, prepare the following infrastructure prerequisites before the actual Joget DX installation. General instructions are available in the Server Clustering Guide, but actual steps depend on the product used
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Prepare a supported Windows or Linux OS environment. |
| Java | Install a supported Java LTS version i.e. Java 11 or Java 17. |
| Application Server | Install a supported Java EE application server e.g. Apache Tomcat 9. |
| Application Server Service Startup Configuration | Configure the application server to startup automatically e.g. Installing Apache Tomcat as a Windows Service. Ensure that the service user has full read and write permissions to the file storage. |
| Database Server | Install a supported RDBMS server and obtain the database connection credentials for Java JDBC:
Ensure that the database user has full permission to create tables in the database. |
| File Storage | Prepare file storage for the Joget “wflow” directory to store configuration and runtime files. Ensure there are sufficient read and write permissions for the application server OS user. For clustering, this directory must be shared between all servers e.g. using NFS or SMB. |
| Load Balancer / Reverse Proxy Configuration | Configure the load balancer or reverse proxy to forward requests to the application server e.g. NGINX as Reverse Proxy or Apache HTTPD as Reverse Proxy. |
| DNS Configuration | Configure the DNS to map domain names to the load balancer or reverse proxy. |
| HTTPS Configuration | Configure HTTPS for secure traffic. Highly recommended to configure HTTPS at the load balancer or reverse proxy instead of the app server. |
| Application Server Session Replication | For clustering, configure session replication in the application servers e.g. Configure Apache Tomcat Session Replication. |
| LDAP / Active Directory Connectivity | If applicable, ensure that network connectivity is established to the LDAP or Active Directory server. |
Production Environment: Joget DX Platform Installation Checklist
Ensure that all the prerequisites have been completed before beginning.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
Joget DX WAR Deployment | Deploy the Joget DX WAR file to the application servers. Actual steps depend on the specific application server, e.g. for Apache Tomcat the WAR is deployed in the apache-tomcat/webapps directory. The WAR files can be obtained from Downloads or from Enterprise Support. |
Joget DX Java VM Configuration | Ensure that the Java VM configuration is configured according to Deployment and Configuration, with particular attention to the wflow.home directory path and the Java VM memory settings. |
Joget DX Datasource Configuration | Connect to the database server following Setting Up Database. |
Joget DX License Activation | Activate the license following Activate Joget DX License. |
