How to install Hipchat Server on CentOS 6? - deployment

In my deep dive into the CentOS terminal, I was able to install and setup Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket servers. However, the Hipchat Server seems to be based on something completely different.
Is there a step by step guide to installing Hipchat; From what's needed (dependencies) to installing (which I'm not even sure is part of the process) to seeing it work (log-in, etc.)?
Atlassian's official guide is written in such a way, that I look at it confused - as if it's a riddle that will never be solved. lol

By HipChat4, I'm assuming you refer to the HipChat Client. If so, have you tried the instructions outlined here?
sudo bash -c ‘cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/hipchat.repo << EOF_hipchat
[atlassian-hipchat]
name=Atlassian Hipchat
baseurl=https://atlassian.artifactoryonline.com/atlassian/hipchat-yum-client/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF_hipchat’
sudo yum update
sudo yum install hipchat4
If what you're trying to install is the server, then keep in mind that HipChat Server is only supported on AWS (via the Atlassian provided AMI), or as a VM for private datacenters (via the Atlassian provided OVA). You can't install HipChat Server directly on a Linux box.
If your OS can run a virtualization platform (e.g. VirtualBox) then you can download the OVA from https://www.hipchat.com/server#get-hipchat-server, import it, start your VM and configure it. More thorough instructions are available here.

Download RPM on Windows PC then install on Centos server

I'm really stuck in installing services in Centos server. I almost browse all the pages in Google result. I'm a Windows user and very new in Linux environment, so it makes me difficult to understand all the results from Google.
The server doesn't have option to connect to the internet. Based on my research, my only way is to download all the RPM files in a machine with internet then transfer it to my server.
Problem: I cannot find the official package list of YUM so I can download it one by one like the https://bower.io/search/. There's a lot of downloadable files showing if I type in Google "YUM php7 rpm".
Edit: I am currently using YUM because I don't know any other way to install packages in Centos. I only want to install the following :
php7
nodejs
composer
supervisor
nginx
I don't have any access to any media. I just remotely access it via putty and Filezilla. But I have root access.

Install Nagios plugins - missing install instructional step?

I have Nagios XI installed and want to monitor remote Redhat machine using SSH. Installing the agent is likely not allowed in our environment.
This is from Nagios instruction from the page 2
Before you can use the check_by_ssh plugin, you must install/configure the following on the remote Linux/Unix server you want to
monitor:
● Create a nagios user
● Install Nagios plugins and/or monitoring scripts
● Install and configure the SSH daemon
I downloaded the Nagios official plugins(I believe there are 50 plugins) and extracted the files, but there is no instructional step for install command. I read the README file, but this seems to give me the steps of making the install files from the source, I think.
Is there a simple command that will run the install in order for me to install the plugins that will include check_by_ssh plugin?
This answer was given by Nagios support team:
Nagios Plugin Installation
cd /tmp/nagios-plugins-2.1.2
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make
make install

How to install a plugin in redmine 1.4.4 via SSH on redmine VM?

I have got access to redmine VM via SSH and have plugin files on my local machine. Now I need to install it in redmine.
Can anyone explain the steps to do it? I am using a windows 7 machine as SSH client.
You can use SFTP client such as WinSCP (Windows client that I uses) or find any other.
SFTP is SSH File Transfer Protocol, i.e. you will have access to VM's file system via SSH connection, and Redmine plugins installation will be just files copying :)
Also, SFTP clients can launch simple commands as touch (touch tmp/restart.txt command needed to restart Ruby on Rails applications)
Put the plugin directory in the vendor/plugins sub directory of your Redmine installation. Check the plugin installation instructions for any additional steps that might be necessary.
Redmine 1.4.4 is several years old, you should first make sure with a local test that the plugin actually works with that version. And you should really upgrade to a recent version of Redmine (current stable is 3.2) as there have been quite a few security issues in Rails and Redmine since 1.4.4 was released.

how install rvm on RHL7 using centos repo

How to install rvm(ruby) on RHL7 using centos repo.
I know if we are using centos repository we should be using centos OS and not RedHat, but we have a proprietary software that require Redhat.
when I try to install ruby 1.93 using rvm I got this:
rvm install 1.9.3
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: redhat/6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p551.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for redhat.
Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
Our client does not have registered system with redhat, So I did configure centos repository.
But how can I tell RVM to use this centos repository?
I managed the problem running:
rvm autolibs read-only
In that way rvm do not try to download the dependencies from redhat. But it tell us what is missing, so we can install what is missing manually with yum install from centos repository.
RedHat uses the concept of software collection to offer update packages for Ruby, Python, etc:
softwarecollections
For your case, they have software collection for Ruby193 and Ruby22.
On each page you will find instructions on how to use it.

How to host the OpenStreetMap Locally

I want to host the OSM (OpenStreetMap) locally. I need the basic idea what are required for hosting the OSM and how the task can be done in a step wise manner. I have to host it in Windows7 environment.
Any kind of help will be useful.
switch2osm contains detailed instructions and requirements for setting up a OSM server. If you have a Windows system then better set up a Linux VM inside it.
A bit too old but I will just put it here for someone who is searching for the same thing.
An exact instance of OpenStreetMap can be hosted locally by following the installation guide of OpenStreetMap.
Quoting from the Link:
"These instructions are designed for setting up The Rails Port for development and testing. If you want to deploy the software for your own project, then see the notes at the end.
You can install the software directly on your machine, which is the traditional and probably best-supported approach. However, there is an alternative which may be easier: Vagrant. This installs the software into a virtual machine, which makes it easier to get a consistent development environment and may avoid installation difficulties. For Vagrant instructions, see VAGRANT.md.
These instructions are based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which is the platform used by the OSMF servers. The instructions also work, with only minor amendments, for all other current Ubuntu releases, Fedora and MacOSX
We don't recommend attempting to develop or deploy this software on Windows. If you need to use Windows, then try developing this software using Ubuntu in a virtual machine, or use Vagrant."
