Debian family

reference

Mender Orchestrator is only available in the Mender Enterprise plan. See the Mender plans page for an overview of all Mender plans and features.

Mender Orchestrator requires DeviceTier to be set to "system" for proper operation.

Mender Orchestrator requires the experimental package of the Mender Client. Support for Mender Orchestrator will be released in the next feature release. See the Download section for information on bleeding edge versions.

This page provides instructions for downloading and installing the Mender Orchestrator Debian packages.

We also provide mender-orchestrator-support, an open-source repository containing Interfaces, Update Modules and Inventory scripts when using Mender Orchestrator together with the Mender Client.

See Debian family section for general information. See the Downloads page for links to general setup instructions and additional installation methods.

Demo package (optional)

For evaluation, download and install the demo package:

Install the demo package:

sudo dpkg -i mender-orchestrator-demo_*.deb

The demo package provides a mock environment with a corresponding Topology for testing and demonstration purposes.

The demo configuration is inappropriate for production devices.

Configuration

Set the DeviceTier to "system" in your mender.conf

For production deployments, provision a Topology that defines the components of your system.

Create your Topology configuration file at MENDER_ORCHESTRATOR_TOPOLOGY_DIR (default: /data/mender-orchestrator/topology.yaml).
