Ums Installation

Reproduced steps to install UMS on CentOS 8.

dnf install epel-release (1)
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk (2)
dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools (3)
dnf install mediainfo (4)

Get UMS, from website then:

tar -zxvf UMS-9.8.1-x86_64.tgz ums-9.8.1/
mv ums-9.8.1/ /opt/
ln -s /opt/ums-9.8.1/ /opt/ums

Let’s create config files

mkdir /etc/ums
cp /opt/ums/UMS.conf /opt/ums/WEB.conf /etc/ums

New user and group for ums

useradd -s /sbin/nologin ums
sudo chown -R ums:ums /opt/ums-9.8.1/
sudo chown -R ums:ums /etc/ums/

Directory for ums.

mkdir /data/downloads
chown -R ums:ums /data/downloads/

Create UMS service.

/etc/systemd/system/ums.service/ums.service
