The RingQ ISO installation allows you to set up a fresh instance of RingQ on your own hardware or virtual environment. This method is ideal for users who want to have full control over their deployment, whether for on-premises installations or custom virtual machines.
This guide will walk you through downloading the ISO, preparing your system, and completing the installation process step by step.
Prerequisites
Have a dedicated server or virtualization platform available (Hyper-V, VirtualBox, VMware)
Open your preferred virtualization software (e.g., Hyper-V Manager, VirtualBox, VMware).
Create a new virtual machine and mount the downloaded ISO as the boot medium.
Power on the VM to begin installation.
Begin Installation:
Choose “Install RingQ” From the boot menu, select Install RingQ to begin the RingQ installation process on the KVM server.
Wait for the Preliminary Installation - Allow the installer to load the required installation components. This may take a few minutes depending on the server performance.
Choose the Network Interface - Select the correct network interface that will be used by the RingQ server. Make sure the selected interface is connected to the proper network and has internet access.
Partition Disk:
Choose Entire Disk - Select the option to use the entire disk for installation. This will allow the installer to automatically prepare the disk for RingQ
Choose the First Disk Option - Select the first available disk from the list. Make sure the correct disk is selected because the installation process will format the selected disk.
Choose “Finish Partitioning and Write Changes to Disk”- After reviewing the partition setup, select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk to proceed with the disk configuration.
Click “Yes” to Confirm Disk Changes - Confirm the changes to write the partition setup to the disk. This step will apply the disk formatting and continue the installation.
Choose Installation Mode:
After Restart, Choose Debian GNU/Linux - Once the device restarts, select Debian GNU/Linux from the boot menu to start the installed operating system.
Wait for the RingQ Prompt - After the system boots, the RingQ installer prompt will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the RingQ setup.
Note: Before proceeding with the installation, make sure the required network ports are allowed in your firewall or network settings to avoid connection or service issues.
