Install Jobserver and Collibra Console on Linux

This section describes how to install the Jobserver and Collibra Console on Linux. There is no need to install these components on different servers.

Important If you do the installation on RHEL/Rocky Linux or Suse, see the services section of the installation guide. This is also valid if you install without root permissions.

Prerequisites

• You have downloaded the latest Jobserver-only installer for your operating system. See also the compatibility list to know which installer you have to download.
• You have installed PostgreSQL 14.9. If you install Jobserver and Collibra Console on separate servers, then both servers require PostgreSQL 14.9.
• We recommend to use a static IP address for the node.
• You have a connection between the on-premises Jobserver and Collibra Platform.

Steps

Use this drop-down to select your operating system:

1. Run the installer:
   • Linux as user with sudo rights: sudo ./dgc-linux-jobserver-only-2025.04.0-x.sh
     Linux as root user: ./dgc-linux-jobserver-only-2025.04.0-x.sh
   • Linux as standard user: ./dgc-linux-jobserver-only-2025.04.0-x.sh
2. Follow the command-line wizard. If you don't enter a value, the value between brackets or the value in capital is used.

   Note The Jobserver encryption key in the wizard is a passphrase that is used to generate the actual encryption key.

What's next?

Tip If you don't install these services on the same node, then you have to add the Jobserver node to your on-premises Collibra Console.

Configure the connection between the Jobserver and your Collibra Platform environment by creating a connection from the Jobserver to the Collibra service. In this configuration, the on-premises Jobserver will poll the Collibra service for ingestion tasks.

Note You can also add the Jobserver service to the DGC service. In this configuration, the Collibra service from your cloud environment will send ingestion tasks to the on-premises Jobserver. For security reasons, this configuration may not be allowed by your organization's network infrastructure department.
