Apache Hop on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Apache Hop on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Apache Hop is a metadata-driven data integration and orchestration platform for designing, executing, and managing data pipelines and workflows visually, with a modern browser-based designer (Hop Web) and an execution engine (Hop Server). This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• Hop Web (browser-based visual designer) and Hop Server (execution engine) on OpenJDK 17, managed by systemd
• The Hop Web UI on port 80, protected by HTTP Basic authentication
• A unique administrator credential generated on first boot (no shared default password)
• A sample project so the designer has content on first login
• Projects, pipelines, and workflow config on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated password with `sudo cat /root/hop-credentials.txt`, then open the VM's public IP to design pipelines and workflows in Hop Web; the Hop Server executes them. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers projects, pipelines, and remote execution.
