The instructions below are for Debian, but with Ubuntu you would also need to use ‘sudo’ if you are not running as root
First you need to install Java, if you have not already. This page has instructions on how to install Java 1.8 using apt-get
Now let’s get to installing Wildfly 10
We are going to download the zip directly to the /opt folder, and then unzip it.
cd /opt wget http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/10.1.0.Final/wildfly-10.1.0.Final.zip unzip wildfly-10.1.0.Final.zip
Next we will create a symbolic link to access wildfly-10.1.0.Final as just ‘wildfly’
ln -s /opt/wildfly-10.1.0.Final /opt/wildfly
Next let’s create a group and user for our Wildfly installation
addgroup wildfly useradd -g wildfly wildfly
Now let’s change our Wildfly directory to the user we created.
chown -R wildfly:wildfly /opt/wildfly-10.1.0.Final
Now let’s copy the init scripts
cp /opt/wildfly/docs/contrib/scripts/init.d/wildfly-init-debian.sh /etc/init.d/wildfly chown root:root /etc/init.d/wildfly chmod ug+x /etc/init.d/wildfly
Now we can start and stop Wildfly using the following command
/etc/init.d/wildfly start /etc/init.d/wildfly stop
Enabling remote access to Wildfly
cd /opt/wildfly/standalone/configuration nano standalone.xml
Now you must change
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
</interface>
to
<interface name="public">
<any-address/>
</interface>
Now let’s restart Wildfly
service wildfly restart
Configuring the Wildfly Administration Console
Change
<interface name="management">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
</interface>
to
<interface name="management"> <any-address/> </interface>
Thanks, this was very helpfull. I had one problem, as the service wouldn’t start. Instead I got the error
“Starting wildfly (via systemctl): wildfly.serviceFailed to start wildfly.service: Unit wildfly.service failed to load: No such file or directory.”
This was solved by running:
update-rc.d wildfly defaults
I see, can you tell us what distribution you are running? I did not get that error when I wrote this tutorial.
you are probably using systemd. I would suggest systemctl enable wildfly.service and then systemctl restart wildfly.service
Thanx, very helpful. Working well.
Remember to enable via systemctl before service wildfly restart
systemctl enable wildfly
I don’t know about Ubuntu, but on the Debian and wildfly version 10 better create executable wildfly with symbol link. Because Wildfly need the file windfly.conf inside the folder contrib/script/init.d
Excelente article.
