Downloading, installing, configuring and running LARS
LARS is a Java EE application running on top of Liberty and can be
configured like any other Liberty application. When LARS is installed,
it creates a new Liberty server called larsServer.
Either download larsServer.zip from the Liberty Repository or build it yourself following the instructions in Building LARS
Download and install the Prerequisites
Unzip larsServer.zip into the WLP_USER_DIR (usually wlp/usr/) directory of an existing Liberty 19.0.0.9 (or newer) runtime.
Install LARS's pre-requisite features, using
installUtility after extracting the zip:
bin/installUtility install larsServer
Edit the files wlp/usr/servers/larsServer/server.xml and wlp/usr/servers/larsServer/bootstrap.properties.
For a basic LARS server, you will need to configure the following:
In order to secure LARS (and it is not recommended to run LARS without
security), you need a user registry. The default server.xml that is
created when LARS is installed contains a <basicRegistry>, commented
out, that can be uncommented and used as a starting point. For more
information on configuring a user registry for Liberty, see Configuring a user registry in Liberty
The <httpEndpoint> element determines upon which ports the LARS
server will listen. You can change these ports to suit your
requirements. In the default configuration, the LARS server only
listens for connections from localhost (ie connections from the same
host that LARS is running on). You can also add a host= attribute to
cause LARS to listen for requests from other hosts. For more
information on configuring Liberty's HTTP endpoint properties, see
HTTP Endpoint
The default server.xml configuration contains a commented-out
<application-bnd> element. You can uncomment this and then customize
it to your requirements. For more information on configuring
authorization for applications on Liberty, see Configuring authorization for applications in Liberty.
If your MongoDB instance uses authentication or SSL, or if other parameters such as the MongoDB port
are non-default then you may need to customize the properties in bootstrap.properties.
- Start mongodb
bin/server start larsServer
The server should now be running. Unless you've changed the default config, you should be able to visit http://localhost:9080/ma/v1/assets and see an empty list.
