Deploy a Client
This topic contains instructions for OS-based client deployments. Hydden recommends installing the client services locally vs. just running the service, although that is an option, just not recommended for continuous monitoring and performance.
Once a client is installed based on the deployment information below, it will automatically be updated when new client packages are released.
Package names:
- hydn-[version]-[OS(-flavor)]-[architecture]
Where:
- [version], is a number string, for example, 0.5.639 based on a recent build.
- [OS(-flavor)], can be Linux, Windows, OSx (coming soon) with flavor and version information, like ubuntu22.04 or rhel8, for example.
- [architecture], references the system chip information, for example, amd64.
Hydden uses port 22101 as the default Bootstrap port.
Windows Client Deployment
As an administrator, open a cmd prompt window on a networked system.
Run the package installation:
