Set up dbNP instance on an NBX

Set up tomcat user

• Login as manager
• Create user tomcat:

  sudo adduser tomcat
  

• Switch to user tomcat and its home directory

  sudo su - tomcat
  

• Change default shell to bash:

  chsh -s /bin/bash
  

• Check out deploy scripts

  svn checkout --username=anonymous https://svn.osx.eu/gscf-misc/scripts
  

• Download Tomcat (to find the newest version, go to ​http://tomcat.apache.org/, find it, click Download and look up the Core .tar.gz file)

  wget http://apache.mirrors.webazilla.nl/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.16/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.16.tar.gz
  tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-7.0.16.tar.gz
  

• Add CATALINA_OPTS parameter to default bash environment of Tomcat user (convenient when restarting Tomcat manually)

  echo "export CATALINA_OPTS=\"-Xms128m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=720m -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=10 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled\"" >> ~/.bashrc
