Running a Silent Installer for ThingWorx Foundation
You can perform a silent, unattended installation from the command line interface (CLI).
To see the various parameters that should be passed to the silent installer, you can run the ThingWorx Foundation installer with the --help parameter. For example:
• For Windows: ThingWorxFoundationPostgres-9.0.0-x64.exe --help
• For Linux: ThingWorxFoundationPostgres-9.0.0-x64.run --help
The following is a sample command to deploy ThingWorx Foundation on Windows with PostgreSQL and SSL enabled:
./ThingWorxFoundationPostgres-9.0.0-x86_64.exe --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui minimal --MLDC_ACCEPT 1 --accept_eula YES
--NEW_TWX_PASSWORD <userpassword> --CONFIGURE_SSL 1 --POSTGRES_IP_ADDR localhost --TWX_DB_LOGIN_USERNAME <dbusername>
--TWX_DB_LOGIN_PASSWORD "DBPASSWORD" --TWX_DB_NAME <database name> --SSLTWX_PORT <SSL port> --SSLMODE <sslmode> --SSLROOTCERTIFICATEPATH <sslrootcertificatepath> --KEYSTORE_FILE_PATH <.jks file path>
--KEYSTORE_FILE_PASSWORD <keystore-password> --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_NAME <aliasname> --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_PASSWORD <keystore-alias-password>
--NEW_TWX_PASSWORD <userpassword> --CONFIGURE_SSL 1 --POSTGRES_IP_ADDR localhost --TWX_DB_LOGIN_USERNAME <dbusername>
--TWX_DB_LOGIN_PASSWORD "DBPASSWORD" --TWX_DB_NAME <database name> --SSLTWX_PORT <SSL port> --SSLMODE <sslmode> --SSLROOTCERTIFICATEPATH <sslrootcertificatepath> --KEYSTORE_FILE_PATH <.jks file path>
--KEYSTORE_FILE_PASSWORD <keystore-password> --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_NAME <aliasname> --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_PASSWORD <keystore-alias-password>
The following is a sample command to deploy ThingWorx Foundationon Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.5 with PostgreSQL and SSL enabled:
./ThingWorxFoundationPostgres-9.0.0-x86_64.run --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui minimal --MLDC_ACCEPT 1 --accept_eula YES
--NEW_TWX_PASSWORD <userpassword> --CONFIGURE_SSL 1 --POSTGRES_IP_ADDR localhost --TWX_DB_LOGIN_USERNAME <dbusername>
--TWX_DB_LOGIN_PASSWORD '<dbuser>' --TWX_DB_NAME <databasename> --SSLTWX_PORT 8443 --SSLMODE <sslmode> --SSLROOTCERTIFICATEPATH <sslrootcertificatepath> --KEYSTORE_FILE_PATH <keystorefilepath>
--KEYSTORE_FILE_PASSWORD '<keystore>' --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_NAME mydomain --CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_PASSWORD '<keystorepassword>'
--NEW_TWX_PASSWORD <userpassword> --CONFIGURE_SSL 1 --POSTGRES_IP_ADDR localhost --TWX_DB_LOGIN_USERNAME <dbusername>

The SSL Mode parameter is required for the Azure PostgreSQL Flex server. sslRootCert is required for verify-ca and verify-full SSL modes. For more information about different SSL modes, see PostgreSQL Documentation. For more information about secure communication with Azure PostgreSQL Flex Server and to download the certificate, see Encrypted connectivity using TLS/SSL in Azure Database for PostgreSQL — Flexible Server.
