Raylux 1.0.3: Linux packages for Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL

The gateway now installs on Linux from a package, on both Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL. Nothing changes on Windows; this release carries the new version number so all downloads match.

Linux

• New: an .rpm for Fedora and RHEL. Install it with sudo dnf install ./raylux-nexus-1.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm and the gateway is set up as a service, started, and ready for first-time setup in the browser on port 8080. It works with SELinux enforcing, with nothing to configure.
• The Debian/Ubuntu .deb is now a download, rather than something you had to ask for. Install it with sudo apt install ./raylux-nexus_1.0.3_amd64.deb.
• Both packages refuse to install on a system too old to run them. Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and RHEL 9 now get a clear message from the package manager instead of a gateway that installs and then fails to start.
• Upgrading keeps a stopped gateway stopped. Install a newer package over an older one: a running gateway restarts on the new version, and one you stopped on purpose is left alone.
• Uninstalling never deletes your data. Projects, history, alarms, users and certificates stay in /var/lib/raylux, even after a full removal.

Does this affect me?

• Windows — no. Nothing has changed for Windows installs; you do not need to update from 1.0.1.
• Linux — yes. The packages are now public downloads, and the .rpm is new. If you run an earlier Debian/Ubuntu package we sent you, remove it first with sudo apt remove raylux-nexus (your data is kept), then install 1.0.3. From 1.0.3 on, installing a newer package over an older one is the normal way to upgrade.

Installing

• Windows: Windows Server 2019 or later, or Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The gateway installs as a Windows service and starts on boot. Installing over 1.0.1 keeps your projects, tags, history and users. These downloads are not code-signed yet, so Windows will warn you the first time you run one.
• Linux: x86-64. Ubuntu 24.04 or later, Debian 13 or later, Fedora 39 or later, or RHEL, Rocky or Alma 10 or later. Studio and Lens are Windows-only; the gateway serves operator screens to any browser. If firewalld is running, open ports 8080 and 8443. The packages are not signed yet.
