Scout Cloud Gateway as a Debian machine

The Scout Cloud Gateway may be operated in a Linux environment. A Debian package (.deb) (tested with Ubuntu 20.04) is available for this purpose.

The Scout Cloud Gateway works with a MongoDB database. As a web server, you can use NGINX or Apache.

Note:

Beginning with SCG 1 2209, clusters are supported also for a Debian installation.

The connection between WebAdmin interface and web server is always made via HTTPS (from SCG 1 2209 - Earlier versions do not support HTTPS). The certificate for this is automatically created during installation.

Networking requirements

For the routing to work, please make sure that IP forwarding is enabled. The value for net.ipv4.ip_forward needs to be set to 1, using the following command.

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 -w
<!--NeedCopy-->

To ensure the IP forwarding setting persists after a reboot, create the file 99-scg-ip-forwarding.conf in the folder /etc/sysctl.d/ with the following content:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
<!--NeedCopy-->
