How to configure WSL-related services after upgrading Landscape

Note

This guide is only for upgrades from Landscape 23.10 or earlier. Note that the WSL integration is still a beta feature in Landscape and not widely available yet.

This guide describes how to configure WSL-related services if you’ve upgraded from an older version of Landscape (23.10 or earlier). If this is your first time installing Landscape, you don’t need to perform these steps.

Update the service.conf file

Open the service.conf file located in the /etc/landscape directory and add:

[broker]
hostagent_virtual_host = landscape-hostagent
hostagent_task_queue = landscape-server-hostagent-task-queue

[hostagent-message-consumer]
threads = 1
stores = main account-1

[features]
enable-wsl-child-instance-profiles = true

Update your Apache config

Open your Apache config (commonly located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/{hostname}.conf) and add the following at the end:

Listen 6554

<VirtualHost *:6554>
  ServerName ${hostname}
  ServerAdmin webmaster@${hostname}

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/landscape_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/landscape_access.log combined

  SSLEngine On
  SSLCertificateFile ${ssl_certificate_crt}
  SSLCertificateKeyFile ${ssl_certificate_key}
  # Disable to avoid POODLE attack
  SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -SSLv2 -TLSv1
  SSLHonorCipherOrder On
  SSLCompression Off
  SSLCipherSuite EECDH+AESGCM+AES128:EDH+AESGCM+AES128:EECDH+AES128:EDH+AES128:ECDH+AESGCM+AES128:aRSA+AESGCM+AES128:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES128:aRSA+AES128:EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:EECDH:EDH:ECDH+AESGCM:aRSA+AESGCM:ECDH:DH:aRSA:HIGH:!MEDIUM:!aNULL:!NULL:!LOW:!3DES:!DSS:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!CAMELLIA:!DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:!DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!aECDH
  # If you have either an SSLCertificateChainFile or, a self-signed CA signed certificate
  # uncomment the line below.
  # Note: Some versions of Apache will not accept the SSLCertificateChainFile
  # directive. Try using SSLCACertificateFile instead
  # SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/certs/landscape_server_ca.crt
 
  ProxyPass / h2c://localhost:50052/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:50052/
</VirtualHost>

Then enable proxy_http2:

sudo a2enmod proxy_http2

Add a virtual host to RabbitMQ

Add a new virtual host to RabbitMQ:

sudo rabbitmqctl add_vhost landscape-hostagent
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p landscape-hostagent landscape ".*" ".*" ".*"

The ".*" characters in the set_permissions command are regular expressions that match any character. They grant all permissions (configure, write, read) on all resources (exchanges, queues, bindings, etc.) to the landscape user for the landscape-hostagent virtual host.

Restart the services

Restart the Landscape services:

sudo service landscape-hostagent-messenger restart
sudo service landscape-hostagent-consumer restart

Now, you’re ready to use WSL with Landscape. See How to set up Ubuntu Pro for WSL and register WSL hosts to Landscape.
