Installing a self-hosted DataMiner Agent

If you want to take care of hosting your DataMiner System yourself, you can manually install the DataMiner Agents instead of creating the DMS in the cloud.

Important

• The server onto which you plan to install the DataMiner Agent software has to comply with the DataMiner system requirements. See DataMiner Compute Requirements.
• Avoid using duplicates of existing VMs to install a new DataMiner machine. Using cloned VMs can cause certain configurations from the previous DataMiner machine to linger and cause conflicts in the system.

To manually install a DataMiner Agent, you will need to use the DataMiner Installer. Afterwards, you will need to upgrade to the latest feature or main release version, connect your DataMiner System to dataminer.services, and either deploy Storage as a Service to make use of cloud-native storage hosted by Skyline or, if you wish to host the DataMiner storage yourself, configure the databases.

Note

The DataMiner Installer is available on the DataMiner software page on DataMiner Dojo. Note that the 10.2.0 installer does not support 32-bit systems, MySQL installation, and unattended installation of a cluster.

Tip

Do you already have a self-hosted DataMiner System that you want to connect to dataminer.services? Go to Connecting your DataMiner System to dataminer.services for more info.
