Installing JBoss on Ubuntu 22.04

JBoss is an open-source Java-based application server that provides a platform for running Java applications. It is widely used for enterprise-level development and deployment of web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing JBoss on Ubuntu 22.04.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Ubuntu 22.04 installed and running
• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed

Step 1: Downloading JBoss

First, you need to download the JBoss application server. Open a terminal and use the following command to download the latest version:

wget https://download.jboss.org/wildfly/22.0.0.Final/wildfly-22.0.0.Final.tar.gz

Step 2: Extracting JBoss

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

tar -xvf wildfly-22.0.0.Final.tar.gz

Step 3: Setting up Environment Variables

To run JBoss, you need to set up some environment variables. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

echo "export JBOSS_HOME=/path/to/jboss" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$JBOSS_HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Replace "/path/to/jboss" with the actual path where JBoss is extracted.

Step 4: Starting JBoss

To start JBoss, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo ./standalone.sh

This will start the JBoss server and you will see the server logs in the terminal.

Step 5: Accessing JBoss

Open a web browser and enter the following URL to access the JBoss management console:

http://localhost:9990

By default, the JBoss management console runs on port 9990. If you want to change the port, you can do so in the configuration files located in the JBoss installation directory.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed JBoss on Ubuntu 22.04.
