Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Overview

RHEL is Red Hat's enterprise Linux operating system. It runs on physical servers, virtual machines, public clouds, and edge systems. Pomerium publishes RPM packages for supported Linux hosts.

RHEL hosts often run sensitive private services. Pomerium adds one identity-aware application route without broad network access.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux supplies the runtime or deployment environment. Pomerium runs in that environment and supplies the identity-aware access point for selected services.

Prerequisites

• A supported Linux host that can accept the user-facing route and reach the private upstream service.
• DNS, TLS, identity-provider configuration, protected secrets, and durable storage where the selected design requires it.

How it works

Run Pomerium Core on a supported Linux host in the environment. Install the official package, standalone binary, or container. Configure DNS, TLS, identity, route policy, storage, and replicas for the selected design.

Configure the official Pomerium RPM repository and install Pomerium Core with Yum or DNF. The package supplies a systemd service. Place the host where it can accept the user-facing route and reach each protected service.

Check service health, DNS, TLS, required storage and replicas, and upstream reachability. Confirm that a direct public route cannot bypass Pomerium.

Example

A private operations dashboard runs on RHEL. Pomerium runs on a connected RHEL gateway host and forwards an approved request to the dashboard.

Considerations

• Pomerium does not manage subscriptions, packages, patches, SELinux policy, or host firewall rules.
