      Prerequisites for the ZeroLock® Management Console

      The ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) is the backend component of the ZeroLock security suite. The ZMC performs command and control for ZeroLock Agent software that runs on protected endpoints.

      The ZMC is comprised of several components, including ux-server, collector, and database. These components run in a containerized environment on a variety of host operating systems.

      The Installer prepares the host operating system (starting with a fresh install) to run the ZMC.

      The Installer identifies the latest previous version of the ZMC, (optionally) backs it up and copies the database, and then migrates the copied database to the latest schema.

      Minimum System Requirements

      Before proceeding with installing the server you should verify that the target system meets the minimum requirements as outlined below.

      ZeroLock Server Requirements

      RAM

      		 8GB
      Disk Space 100GB (dependent on number of endpoints and data retention duration)
      CPU Cores 4 (min) or more (recommended)
      Installation Requirements Latest version of Docker

       

      ZeroLock Endpoint Agent Requirements

      OS

      		 Linux Kernel v3.5 or higher. Distribution agnostic.
      Processor x86-64
      Memory 50MB
      Disk Space 100MB
      Kernel Mods No kernel modifications or modules are required.
      VM/Container Support ZeroLock runs on bare metal, virtual machines, and containers (including public/private/hybrid cloud instances).
      Pre-Installation Requirements

      RPM-based systems (Fedora and CentOS):

      • Checkpolicy
      • Iproute
      • util-linux
      • policycoreutils or policycoreutils-python. 

      Debian-based systems (Ubuntu):

      • iproute2
      • util-linux 

       

      Port Requirements

      Communications to the ZMC requires two ports  – 7443 and 443.   

      The ZMC requires port 7443 to the ux-server container and the agent communicates on port 443 (https) to the collector container. The local firewall must allow those ports/protocols inbound.

       

      Docker Set Up

      Download and install the latest Docker.  Ensure the User launching the ZMC containers is not root but part of the docker group. The User must be able to launch Docker without sudo access.

      Podman

      Podman is supported effective with ZeroLock Management Console v3.5.5. 

      Complete installation instructions may be found on the Podman site.
