Welcome to the Scalr installer!

Install instructions can be found below in this README, or on the Scalr Wiki.

Note: this installer replaces scalr/installer.

The Scalr Installer supports the following platforms:

• Ubuntu: 12.04 and 14.04. amd64 packages only.
• Debian: Wheezy and Jessie. amd64 packages only.
• CentOS / RHEL / OEL: 6 and 7. x86_64 packages only.

Scalr needs to be able to talk to the cloud APIs and instances you want to manage with it, and your instances need to be able to talk back to Scalr. You should ensure that the server you deploy Scalr to matches those requirements.

For more information, review: Required Network Configuration for Scalr.

Start by deploying the Scalr package appropriate for your system.

curl -L https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/scalr/scalr-server-oss/script.deb | sudo bash
apt-get install -y scalr-server

curl -L https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/scalr/scalr-server-oss/script.rpm | sudo bash
yum install -y scalr-server

Once you've deployed the packages, you need to configure Scalr. Since Scalr can auto-detect configuration in most common deployment scenarios (e.g. when deploying on a cloud), you should first check whether the auto-detected configuration is suitable.

Run the following command, and follow the instructions (/usr/bin needs to be on your PATH):

scalr-server-wizard

If you're happy with the configuration, run:

scalr-server-ctl reconfigure

If not, visit this link: Packages - Advanced Usage.

Once the reconfigure step has completed, your Scalr instance is ready to use.

Get your admin password from the Scalr secrets file in /etc/scalr-server/scalr-server-secrets.json, under admin_password.

The admin username is admin.

Use those credentials to login. Scalr is listening on port 80 on your server.

We encourage you to review the following documentation entries:

• First Steps as a Scalr Administrator - Unless you've administered a Scalr install before, this is where you should start.
• Packages - Advanced Usage - If you'd like to deploy a more complicated setup than the default configuration.
