Hello, I am trying to install the WAPT console under Wine.
The installation went smoothly. (I unchecked the "service" box during installation; was that the right thing to do?)
The console launch is also going well.
The generation of the certificate as well.
When generating the agent installer, I get this error message:
There is indeed no folder ""C:\Program File (X86)\wapt\waptsetup\..\waptservice\win32\*""
Nor is there a folder called "C:\Program Files (X86)\wapt\waptsetup\..\waptservice\" for that matter
Did I miss something?

On the other hand, my wapt server and my console (both under Debian) are behind a proxy.
Do they need external access, and if so, where do I need to configure this proxy?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely

(I unchecked the service box during installation, was that the right thing to do?)

Everything is there!!!
Once that box is checked, the agent installer generation runs smoothly.

My question regarding the proxy remains.

Thanks again for your help.

The WAPT environment is designed for secure enterprise installations. No internet access is required for proper operation. Importing packages from the internet directly into your repository via the console is a helpful way to get started, but it's not necessary. You can pre-download the package from a computer with an internet connection, perform an initial internal validation, and then upload it to your repository.

Regarding proxy configuration, there are also parameters to specify the proxy for the wapt agent if it needs to use a proxy to access its WAPT server (this is not the case in the vast majority of cases).

Hoping I have answered your question, I wish you continued success with WAPT

Hello,

I found this suggestion from sfonteneau on the forum: "
During installation, you must uncheck the installation of the service."
(viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1077#p3509)
This relates to the problem I encountered where, once the service box was unchecked, I couldn't generate the agent installer.
So, once the console is installed via Wine, is there a way to disable this service?
Thank you for your help.

I want to point out that you shouldn't install the WAPT service on Wine because it doesn't start under Wine. This can cause problems because the WAPT service tries to start in a loop under Wine.

While the WAPT console is usable under Wine, generating the agent from a Wine machine (even though it works when the service is installed) is not recommended. Creating the package with PyScripter under Wine is also discouraged.

In fact, the WAPT console works under Wine, but only for daily administrator use (package assignment, package duplication), not during updates or upgrades. In such cases, you should use a Windows machine (VirtualBox, for example) to avoid errors.

In general, WAPT does not support running the WAPT administration console under Wine. Perhaps one day, but no promises are being made, neither now nor later.

As a reminder, WAPT is a tool to help system and network administrators deploy, update, and remove software and configurations on a Windows environment. This promise is fulfilled with WAPT Community.

Enterprise, Linux, and Mac versions are not yet available, and if this happens, it is under consideration and will be an Enterprise version.

Sincerely,

Vincent
