Use a web server to distribute software updates
Deep Security software updates are normally hosted and distributed by relays. However, if you already have a web server, you can provide software updates via the web server instead of a relay. To do this, you must mirror the software repository of the relay on your web server.
Web server requirements
Disk Space: 20 GB
Ports: Web server port, relay port
Copy the folder structure
Mirror the folder structure of the software repository folder on a relay-enabled agent. Methods vary by platform and network. For example, you could use rsync
over SSH for a Linux computer and network that allows SSH.
On Windows, the default location for the relay-enabled agent's software repository folder is:
C:\ProgramData\Trend Micro\Deep Security Agent\relay\www\dsa\
On Linux, the default location for the Relay's software repository folder is:
/var/opt/ds_agent/relay/www/dsa/
The structure of the folder is like this:
|-- dsa | |-- <Platform>.<Architecture> | |-- <Filename> | |-- <Filename> | |-- ... | | |-- <Platform>.<Architecture> | |-- <Filename> | |-- <Filename> | |-- ...
For example:
|-- dsa | |-- CentOS_<version>.x86_64 | |-- Feature-AM-CentOS_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-DPI-CentOS_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-FW-CentOS_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-IM-CentOS_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- ... | | |-- RedHat_EL6.x86_64 | |-- Agent-Core-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.rpm | |-- Feature-AM-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-DPI-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-FW-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- ... | |-- Plugin-Filter_2_6_32_131_0_15_el6_x86_64-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Plugin-Filter_2_6_32_131_12_1_el6_x86_64-RedHat_<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- ... | | |-- Windows.x86_64 | |-- Agent-Core-Windows-<version>.x86_64.msi | |-- Agent-Core-Windows-<version>.x86_64.msi | |-- Feature-AM-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-AM-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-DPI-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Feature-DPI-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- ... | |-- Plugin-Filter-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- Plugin-Filter-Windows-<version>.x86_64.dsp | |-- ...
The example above shows only a few files and folders. Inside a complete dsa folder, there are more. If you need to save disk space or bandwidth, you don't need to mirror all of them. You're only required to mirror the files that apply to your computers' platforms.
Configure agents to use the new software repository
When the mirror on the web server is complete, configure Deep Security Agents to get their software updates from your web server.
- On Deep Security Manager, go to Administration > System Settings > Updates.
- In the Software Updates section, enter the URL(s) of the mirror folder(s) on your web server(s).
- Click Save.
