Install OpenSim 0.9.2.2 in Grid mode on Ubuntu 24.04

In this example of configuration I will use:
For the database the user opensim with the password DB_Password. (Chose whatever you want instead)
For the domain name replace domain.com by your own.

Dependency installation:
Before installing OpenSim you need Mono, MySQL and unzip.

sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install mono-complete mysql-server unzip

MySQL configuration:

sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Add the following lines before:
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

[mysqld]
default_storage_engine = InnoDB
disable_log_bin
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G
innodb_log_file_size = 256M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 16M
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0
innodb_buffer_pool_instances = 2
default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password

Restart MySQL:

sudo service mysql restart
sudo mysql_secure_installation -u root -p

Database creation:

sudo mysql
mysql> create database opensim;
mysql> create user opensim identified by 'DB_Password';
mysql> create user 'opensim'@'localhost' identified by 'DB_Password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opensim.* TO 'opensim'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Check the opensim account is mysql_native_password and disconnect from MySQL:

mysql> SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
mysql> \q

Download and Extract OpenSim:

cd ~
wget http://opensimulator.org/dist/OpenSim-LastAutoBuild.zip
mkdir ~/HG
unzip OpenSim-LastAutoBuild.zip -d HG/

Grid configuration:

cd ~/HG/bin
cp Robust.HG.ini.example Robust.HG.ini
cp OpenSim.ini.example OpenSim.ini
cp config-include/GridCommon.ini.example config-include/GridCommon.ini
cp config-include/osslEnable.ini.example config-include/osslEnable.ini

Edit the Robust.HG.ini file

nano -c ~/HG/bin/Robust.HG.ini

Launch Robust and make sure there is no errors:

mono ~/HG/bin/Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

In the Robust console create the first user:

R.O.B.U.S.T.# create user
First name [Default]: Ludo
Last name [User]: Davis
Password:
Email []:
User ID (enter for random) []:
Model name []:

Quit Robust with the quit command

R.O.B.U.S.T.# quit
