Issue
I need to install Nginx on my target which there is no internet connection, how can I install Nginx with all dependencies in an offline mode?? thanks in advance for your answers.
Solution
I have recently gone through this procedure and this is what worked for me on centos7:
You need an online Linux server to download dependencies. You can use virtual machines or anything else. On your online server create a .sh file and copy script below in it. (I named it download_dependencies)
#!/bin/bash
# This script is used to fetch external packages that are not available in standard Linux distribution
# Example: ./fetch-external-dependencies ubuntu18.04
# Script will create nms-dependencies-ubuntu18.04.tar.gz in local directory which can be copied
# into target machine and packages inside can be installed manually
set -eo pipefail
# current dir
PACKAGE_PATH="."
mkdir -p $PACKAGE_PATH

if [ -z ${CLICKHOUSE_REPO[$target_distribution]} ]; then
echo "Target distribution is not supported."
echo "Supported distributions: ${!CLICKHOUSE_REPO[@]}"
exit 1
fi
download_packages "${target_distribution}"
Then on the same directory that contains download_dependencies.sh run command below:
download_dependencies.sh <your linux version>
In my case, I ran code below (leave it blank to see options):
download_dependencies.sh centos7
It should start to download and when it finished you should see nms-dependencies-rhel7.tar.gz in your directory. Copy that file(.tar.gz) to your offline target.
Now on your target machine, go to directory which you copied your file and run the code below:
tar -zxvf nms-dependencies-rhel7.tar.gz
sudo yum install *.rpm
After installation you can start nginx using systemctl:
sudo systemctl start clickhouse-server
sudo systemctl start nginx
Your nginx service must be running now!
