You can find the details on my github account under the repository named cse-automated.

Ensure you review the README.MD and read the comments in the script too.

Pre-Requisites

  1. Deploy Photon OVA into vSphere, 2 VCPUs, 4GB RAM is more than enough
  2. Assign VM a hostname and static IP
  3. Ensure it can reach the Internet
  4. Ensure it can also reach VCD on TCP 443 and vCenter servers registered in VCD on TCP 443.
  5. SSH into the Photon VM
  6. Note that my environment has CA signed SSL certs and the script has been tested against this environment. I have not tested the script in environments with self-signed certificates.

Download cse-install.sh script to Photon VM

# Download the script to the Photon VM
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugopow/cse-automated/main/cse-install.sh --output cse-install.sh

#  Make script executable
chmod +x cse-install.sh

Change the cse-install.sh script

Make sure you change passwords, CA SSL certificates and environment variables to suit your environment.

Launch the script, sit back and relax

# Run as root
sh cse-install.sh
