For help, ask on the Archivematica user forum for more details.

Firewall

When installing Archivematica on multiple machines, the various Archivematica processes must be able to reach each other on the relevant ports. Your firewall configuration must allow for this.

In particular, please ensure that the Archivematica dashboard can talk to the Storage Service, and that the pipeline components (i.e., MCPServer, MCPClient) can talk to Gearman.

In addition, please ensure that the Elasticsearch (9200) and MySQL (3306) services are not exposed to the world.

The ports of the Archivematica components and related services are provided below.

  • Archivematica dashboard: 80 (81 for RPM-based installs)
  • Archivematica Storage Service: 8000 (8001 for RPM-based installs)
  • MySQL: 3306
  • Gearman: 4730
  • SSH: 22
  • Elasticsearch: 9200
  • NFS: 2049

Configure Archivematica with SSL

Archivematica can be configured for HTTPS following the sample configurations for dashboard and storage-service.
