VB365 v8 introduces the much-awaited Linux proxies, eliminating the need for an additional Windows license. This change allows the majority of resources allocated to the proxies to be utilized by the backup process, with minimal operating system overhead.
To use Linux proxies, one of the requirements is to install .NET and the .NET Core runtime.
I followed a Microsoft article to install .NET on my Ubuntu VM, which I was planning to use as a repository.
However, when I tried to add the proxy after installing .NET, I encountered the following error:
Detect .NET version. Error: All .NET runtimes must be installed from the Microsoft repository.
Not being particularly Linux-savvy, it took me some time and research to understand the error and figure out how to resolve it.
The issue is related to the requirement to download the .NET components from the Microsoft repository instead of the default repository configured for the Linux OS.
Here’s the command I used:curl -sSL -O https://packages.microsoft.com/config///packages-microsoft-prod.deb
You can find the relevant Microsoft package here: Microsoft Packages
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt-get update
Now, you can proceed to install .NET and .NET Core as per Install the SDK link mentioned above.
Examples of these commands can be found in this Microsoft Article.
Once completed, I reran the Add Proxy wizard and was able to successfully add the proxy
