Deploying Lightbits CLI on a Non-Lightbits Server

Lightbits supports running lbcli remotely against a cluster from a non-Lightbits server. The limitation is that it has to be a x86_64 Linux server. Make sure that the remote server has IP connectivity to the management or data IP, and run the following steps on the server:

1. Set up the repository based on the OS flavor.

   1. For Debian/Ubuntu connectivity, run the following command: curl -1sLf 'https://dl.lightbitslabs.com/public/lbcli/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash

   2. For Yum/Red Hat based distributions, run the following command: curl -1sLf 'https://dl.lightbitslabs.com/public/lbcli/setup.rpm.sh' | sudo -E bash

2. Install the management-lbcli package.

3. Edit the /etc/lbcli/lbcli.yaml file, specifying the management or data IP for the endpoint. Then add the JWT.
