hello I am trying to install deadline on ubuntu 20 but I am getting this error
Failed to download MongoDB to /tmp/repoinstalltemp/mongo. Ensure you’re using a Deadline supported operating system. You can also manually install MongoDB by navigating to the Deadline documentation and following the instructions
help please
Hi Evelyn,
You need to manually install mongodb for anything above Ubuntu 16 (I think)
These are my steps for putting it on Ubuntu 20 :
Install mongodb
sudo apt install -y mongodb
then check if its running :
sudo systemctl status mongodb
Edit the mongodb conf to bind the Deadline repository ip address
sudo nano /etc/mongodb.conf
Bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.xx.xx <--this is your deadline ip
port = 27017 <-- this is the port deadline will look for
Save and exit the file.
Restart the mongodb service with
sudo systemctl restart mongodb
Check it still works with
sudo status systemctl mongodb
Then when it comes to installing deadline, use an existing mongo database and make sure the port is correct and it “should” work.
Yup! That’ll work great. Just remember to either change MongoDB to listen on 27100 or when running the Repository installer, tell it to use port 27017.
