[RE5260]

Hi Folks,

We have 2 new VMs and there is a requirement to install & setup complete Alteryx Server (2023.1) +Gallery. One for Development and another for Production purpose. Single node environment where Controller, Gallery and worker will be installed in same server.

OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard, 4 core system, Physical memory 128 GB, Disk volume 1 TB

What are the prerequisites to follow before proceeding?

What will be the steps to proceed step by step? Please guide.

Thanks

Hi @RE5260 ,

I would say it is important to:

1. Define the authentication method (built-in, active directory or SAML) in advance and guarantee the new server can access it. 
2. Define if the server will use SSL or not (http or https) and go after this cert. The SSL cert adds a new level of security and also gives you the option to have a custom URL to your server
3. Download all the ODBC drivers that will be used
4. After the installation and configuration, test if the Gallery is accessible from inside and outside the server machine. 
5. Have Admin access to the server. 
6. Install Alteryx server and configure the workspace to be in a different drive. If you have to install on the C drive, have at least an additional drive for the workspace

That is all I can remember for now. Hope this helps.

Best,
