Opencloud DaaS Quick Start

Disclaimer

NOTE: While this is technically supported, this is typically not a recommended deployment model for production use. The recommended approach is to assign separate roles to each server.

This document focuses on a quick installation to get Inuvika OVD up and running. The fastest deployment method is to stand up 3 different virtual machines:

  1. OVD Multi-role Server - Includes Session Manager, Fileserver, and Web Access Server.
  2. ESG Server - Enterprise Secure Gateway to accept incoming connection requests from clients.
  3. OVD Application Server - can be Linux or Windows, hosts sessions and/or applications

Multi-role Server Installation

Pre-requisites:

  • Linux VM with at least 2x vCPU, 4GB of RAM, and 50GB HDD. Current recommended OS is Ubuntu 22.04.05 LTS
  • Internet access - HTTP/HTTPS apt traffic and download of Inuvika components must be allowed.
  • SSH access to the VM

Installation steps

  1. SSH to the Linux VM and escalate to sudo with: sudo su
  2. Perform an apt update and apt upgrade to install the latest packages, rebooting if required.
  3. Determine the target Inuvika version to populate the install command: curl -s https://ovd.one | OVD_VERSION=<version> bash The Current version (as of 7/16/2025) is 3.4.2-526da687c5, so the full install command is below: 
    curl -s https://ovd.one | OVD_VERSION=3.4.2-526da687c5 bash
  4. Hit enter to begin the installer. It may take a few moments as pre-requisites are being downloaded and installed.
  5. At the OVD One Touch Installer menu, select option 4 to install with the multi-role configuration:

Windows App Server Installation

Pre-requisites:

  • Windows VM with at least 2x vCPU, 4GB of RAM, and 50GB HDD. Current recommended OS is Server 2022
  • Internet access - HTTPS traffic must be allowed to https://archive.inuvika.com/
  • Remote RDS Session Host role must be installed including the subsequent reboot required to complete the installation: 
    install-windowsfeature RDS-RD-Server -IncludeManagementTools -Restart

Installation steps

  1. Download the appropriate version of the Inuvika Application Server installer from https://archive.inuvika.com/ovd/<version>/. The current version (as of 7/16/2025) is 3.4.2-526da687c5 so the URL would be https://archive.inuvika.com/ovd/3.4.2-526da687c5/. The full URL for that version of the Windows installer is: https://archive.inuvika.com/ovd/3.4.1-526da687c5/Inuvika-OVD-3.4.2.7491-ApplicationServer.exe
  2. Open the installer and enter the session manager IP or FQDN and start the installation.
  3. Click install. During the course of the installation, you will be prompted to install printer drivers. Click install.
  4. Wait for the installer to finish. Once installation is complete, restart to apply the changes. The OVD Slaveserver service will not start successfully until the server is restarted.
