Installation

.deb package

We provide a .deb package that can be downloaded in the Release section of this repository. To install it use

sudo apt install ./<PACKAGE_NAME>

After installation

JWT Secrets

After the installation you need to configure the jwt secrets in /etc/excubitor/config.yml. To do so use the following command to generate a secure secret:

node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(256).toString('base64'));"

For testing purposes, any character sequence will be sufficient.

Other folders

The rest of the application will be installed in /opt/excubitor. You can also find the plugins folder, database file and log file in this folder.

SystemD service

The .deb package also automatically installs a systemd unit file which can be started using the following command:

systemctl start excubitor
