2.2. Ubuntu Packages¶
There are ready made packages for Ubuntu.
For recent releases of privacyIDEA starting from version 3.0 a repository is available which provides packages for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS [1].
Note
The packages privacyidea-apache2 and privacyidea-nginx assume
that you want to run a privacyIDEA system. These packages deactivate all
other (default) websites. Instead, you may install the package
privacyidea-mysql to install the privacyIDEA application and setup the
database without any webserver configuration. After this, you can integrate
privacyIDEA with your existing webserver configuration.
Read about the upgrading process in Upgrading a packaged installation.
2.2.1. Installing privacyIDEA¶
Before installing privacyIDEA you need to add the package repository to the package manager.
2.2.1.1. Add repository¶
The packages are digitally signed. First you need to download the signing key:
wget https://lancelot.netknights.it/NetKnights-Release.asc
Then you can verify the fingerprint:
gpg --import --import-options show-only --with-fingerprint NetKnights-Release.asc
The fingerprint of the key is:
pub 4096R/AE250082 2017-05-16 NetKnights GmbH <release@netknights.it>
Key fingerprint = 0940 4ABB EDB3 586D EDE4 AD22 00F7 0D62 AE25 0082
On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS you can now add the signing key to your system:
apt-key add NetKnights-Release.asc
On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS you can add the signing key with:
mv NetKnights-Release.asc /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
Now you need to add the repository for your release (either focal/20.04 LTS,
jammy/22.04 LTS or noble/24.04 LTS)
You can do this by running the following command on Ubuntu 24.04:
add-apt-repository http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/noble/stable
Change the code name to the running Ubuntu version accordingly.
As an alternative you can add the repo in a dedicated file. Create a new
file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/privacyidea-community.list with the
following contents for Ubuntu 24.04:
deb http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/noble/stable noble main
Change the code name to the running Ubuntu version accordingly.
2.2.1.2. Installation of privacyIDEA¶
After having added the repositories, run:
apt update
apt install privacyidea-apache2
If you do not like the Apache2 webserver you could
alternatively use the meta package privacyidea-nginx.
Now you may proceed to First Steps.
2.2.2. FreeRADIUS¶
privacyIDEA has a perl module to “translate” RADIUS requests to the API of the privacyIDEA server. This module plugs into FreeRADIUS. The FreeRADIUS does not have to run on the same machine as privacyIDEA. To install this module run:
apt-get install privacyidea-radius
For further details see RADIUS plugin.
