Landscape is a system management tool that is designed for easy management of multiple Ubuntu systems from a single dashboard. From landscape dashboard, you can apply package updates, categorize machines by group, make changes to targeted machines even when they are offline, create scripts to automate routine tasks and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"any other possible administrative task (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/landscape.canonical.com\/landscape-features\" target=\"_blank\">any other possible administrative task<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landscape can be used as a hosted service as part of Ubuntu Advantage, or run it on premises via Landscape On Premises Server. In this guide, we are going to learn how to use Landscape on premise server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Landscape and features it offers, check their <a href=\"https:\/\/landscape.canonical.com\/static\/doc\/user-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"documentation page (opens in a new tab)\">documentation page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing Landscape on Premise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up your on premises Landscape server, ensure that your server meets the following minimum system requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">System Requirements and Prerequisites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dual-core processor running at 2.0GHz or higher<\/li><li>At least 4GB of RAM, and 5GB of disk space.<\/li><li>OS must be Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS x86_64 or higher.<\/li><li>PostgreSQL installed<\/li><li>Network ports 80\/tcp (http) and 443\/tcp (https) open<\/li><li>Optionally open port 22\/tcp (ssh) as well for general server maintenance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install and Setup Landscape on Ubuntu 18.04 Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming that your system has met above requirements, proceed to install Landscape.
