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 24.04) 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:
Clusters are supported also for a Debian installation.
The connection between WebAdmin interface and web server is always made via 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
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
