Linux Management Server Installation
In this Topic
Background
Server Manager can be installed on CentOS, Debian, RHEL, Ubuntu or any other Linux distrubution that supports .NET 8 or higher.
System Requirements
The Linux Server requires the .Microsoft .NET 8 SDK to be installed. For more information see: Install .NET on Linux.
How to Install the Linux Management Server
- From your Internet browser, log into Corner Bowl Software.
- Once logged in, from the Menu Barselect Downloads.
- From the Downloads Page, if you are running RHEL 9+ locate the Management Server RHEL 9 RPM, otherwise select the Management Server ZIP then click the Download button
- If you downloaded the RPM, from command-line, type:
sudo rpm -i cbsmserver-25.0.0.x-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
- Where 25.0.0.x is replaced with the actual version being installed.
- Otherwise, if you downloaded the zip, decompress the zip file then run the install.sh script. For example:
linuxserver2025.zip sudo install.sh
- Where 25.0.0.x is replaced with the actual version being installed.
- Verify the service has started, for example:
cat /var/log/corner-bowl/server.log

How to Schedule Updates
Open the Corner Bowl Management Console:
- Open the command-line then enter:
dotnet /usr/bin/corner-bowl/console/start.sh
Configure the Auto Update Settings:
- From the Explorer View, expand Options then select Miscellaneous Settings.
- From the Auto Update Settings control group, check Automatically update when new builds become available.
- Use the Schedule drop-down to set the update time and frequency.
How to Manually Update
Open the Corner Bowl Management Console:
- Remote Desktop into the Management Server.
- Open the command-line then enter:
dotnet /usr/bin/corner-bowl/console/start.sh
- Once opened, the Management Console automatically checks for new updates. If a new version is available, you will be prompted to download and install. The intaller updates both the local Management Server and Console.
Or if the server is firewalled or air gapped:
- Log into Corner Bowl Software.
- Download the latest version.
- If updating RHEL 9+, update the RPM with the following command:
sudo rpm -U cbsmserver-25.0.0.x-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
- Where 25.0.0.x is replaced with the actual version being installed.
- Otherwise, if you downloaded the zip, decompress the zip file then run the install.sh script. For example:
unzip linuxserver2025.zip sudo install.sh
- Where 25.0.0.x is replaced with the actual version being installed.
Troubleshooting
If the Server does not appear to be running or accepting connections from a Windows Server Manager Management Console, view the Daemon's verbose output log for detailed information. The log file is located in the following directory:
/var/log/corner-bowl/server.log
- Open a command-prompt, then type the following command to tail the log file:
tail -f /var/log/corner-bowl/server.log
