Install Remediate in online multi-network deployments
Puppet Remediate connects to security providers to discover hosts with vulnerabilities. To take action and fix the vulnerabilities, the system needs to connect directly to the hosts. If the host you want to fix is deployed in different network segments that are not directly accessible from where you installed Remediate, you can setup a multi-network deployment.
In a multi-network deployment, an edge service is deployed inside each network segment. Remediate instructs the edge to connect to the hosts when executing tasks, and then leverages Docker swarm to deploy an edge service on each swarm worker. Workers must have direct connectivity to the manager — the main node where you installed Remediate. For more information on workers and managers, see the Docker documentation.
For more information on installing Remediate on nodes that are not connected to the internet, see instructions on how to Install Remediate on offline nodes.
docker swarm init
on the main Remediate
node as part of the installation process to designate it as swarm manager.
