OCS Installation

Table of Contents

Open computers and software inventory is an asset management solution.

OCS Inventory official site.

I can manage:

  1. How many devices are in my network.
  2. How many softwares are installed on them.
  3. Scan a range of IP for newly connected devices.

OCS is Free software.

OCS Inventory NG or Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation is free software that enables users to automatically inventory their IT assets. OCS-NG collects information about the hardware and software of networked machines running the OCS client program (“OCS Inventory Agent”). OCS can be used to visualize the inventory through a web interface. Furthermore, OCS allows the possibility of deploying applications on the computers according to search criteria. Agent-side IpDiscover and SNMP scan make it possible to identify the entire network of computers and devices. Read more

Setting up OCS Inventory Server

URL

Management server is made up of 4 main components:

  1. Database server, which stores inventory information.
  2. Communication server, which handles HTTP communications between database server and agents.
  3. Administration console, which allows administrators to query the database server using their favorite browser.
  4. Deployment server, which stores all package deployment configuration (requires HTTPS!).
  • Database server currently can only be MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB with InnoDB engine active.
  • Communication server needs Apache Web Server 2.2.X / 2.4.X and is written in PERL as an Apache module. Why? Because PERL scripts are compiled when Apache starts, and not at each request. This is better performance-wise.
  • Communication server may require some additional PERL modules, according to your distribution.
  • Deployment server needs any Web Server with SSL enabled.
  • Administration console is written in PHP 7 (or higher) and runs under Apache Web Server 2.2.X /2.4.X. - - - Administration console requires ZIP and GD support enabled in PHP in order to use package deployment.

As I am using Fedora based system so, Setting up OCS Inventory Server with RPM, URL.

But I am thinking to install the server on a container.

Container:

podman pull debian

podman run --name ocs0.1 -d -it debian

This command creates a new container named “ocs0.1” based on the Debian image. The -d option runs the container in the background, and the -it option enables interactive mode.

Adding volume too:

podman run --name ocs0.2 -d -it -v /path/to/data-directory:/data debian

podman attach ocs0.2

    4  apt update
    6  curl -sS https://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    7  apt install curl
    8  nano
   10  git
   12  curl -sS https://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   13  curl -sS https://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
   14  apt install gnupg2
   16  curl -sS https://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
   19  echo "deb http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/debian/ bookworm main" |  tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ocsinventory.list
   20  apt update
   21  apt install ocsinventory
   22  apt-get install -f
   23  apt-get install dialog
   24  apt install ocsinventory

There is an issue installing the packages.

Trying with new image:

podman run -it --name ocs0.2 --rm -v ~/Desktop/Work/OCS/ocs-data:/data docker.io/library/debian:bullseye /bin/bash

Installing again

Still not working!

Mannually installing on Ubuntu 22.04 container:

From this blog.

podman run --name ocs0.3 -d -it -v ~/Desktop/Work/OCS/ocs-data:/data ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash

Issue:

root@fd5ee25059b1:/# mysql -u root -p
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

It got solved after restarting the DB server.

The error messages in the log indicate that the PHP script is unable to find the vendor/autoload.php file, which is typically generated by Composer, a dependency management tool for PHP.

Here are the steps you can take to resolve this issue:

Check the file path: Ensure that the file path /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/vendor/autoload.php is correct. Verify that the ocsreports directory and the vendor directory exist in the specified location.

Install Composer dependencies: If the vendor directory is missing, it means the Composer dependencies have not been installed. Navigate to the ocsreports directory and run the following command to install the dependencies:

Code

cd /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports composer install

Not working, this composer was tring to install a package, but it is not available at the source(github).

But the files are there

Solution:

Maybe, OCS Inventory Reports:

Verify the file permissions and ownership of the /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/vendor/autoload.php file and the entire OCS Inventory Reports directory.

Will check it.

Error: Failed opening required ‘/usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/vendor/autoload.php’

There is not file here.

https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-ocsreports/issues/786

The issue is because of composer, it hasn’t created the files.

Running composer:

composer install

root@91e3e9afa1e4:/usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports# composer install
Composer could not detect the root package (vendor/composer) version, defaulting to '1.0.0'. See https://getcomposer.org/root-version

Composer cannot download a package because it doesn’t exists.

I think manually installing the project is giving issue.

Installation 2:

Container of OCS:

OCS have provide their own container read more here

To get these examples / templates, clone our git repository :

git clone https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-Docker-Image

August 24 progress:

Now that server is working, I’ll add how I am starting the server.

  1. Open Podman and start the container.
podman start ocs0.6 && podman attach ocs0.6
  1. Start Apache and MariaDB
service mariadb start
service apache start
  1. As the OCS server is running on a container at localhost:8080, I have configured Nginx to route traffic on my local IP to localhost:8080
sudo nginx
