## Installation
2019-07-04 20:44:03 +00:00
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
In the most common case you'll be using systemd to set up a daemon to run the server.
Add a dedicated user so that we don't have to run as root.
2019-07-04 20:44:03 +00:00
``` bash
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
adduser --system --home=/etc/epicyon --group epicyon
2019-07-04 20:44:03 +00:00
```
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
Edit */etc/systemd/system/epicyon.service* and add the following:
2019-07-04 20:44:03 +00:00
2019-08-29 11:53:52 +00:00
``` systemd
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
[Unit]
Description=epicyon
After=syslog.target
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=epicyon
Group=epicyon
WorkingDirectory=/etc/epicyon
2019-10-16 12:16:27 +00:00
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /etc/epicyon/epicyon.py --port 443 --proxy 7156 --domain YOUR_DOMAIN --registration open
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
Environment=USER=epicyon
Restart=always
StandardError=syslog
[Install]
2019-08-29 14:22:41 +00:00
WantedBy=multi-user.target
2019-07-04 20:44:03 +00:00
```
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
Here the server was installed to */etc/epicyon*, but you can change that to wherever you installed it.
2019-07-12 14:42:43 +00:00
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
Then run the daemon:
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
``` bash
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
systemctl enable epicyon
chown -R epicyon:epicyon /etc/epicyon
systemctl start epicyon
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
```
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
Check the status of the daemon with:
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
``` bash
systemctl status epicyon
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
```
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
If it's not running then you can also look at the log:
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
``` bash
2019-08-29 11:37:31 +00:00
journalctl -u epicyon
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
```
2019-08-29 11:52:42 +00:00
You'll also need to set up a web server configuration. For Nginx edit */etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_DOMAIN* as follows:
``` nginx
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name YOUR_DOMAIN;

Changing your domain name as appropriate. Activate the configuration with:
2019-08-29 11:52:42 +00:00
``` bash
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_DOMAIN /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```
Generate a LetsEncrypt certificate.
``` bash
certbot certonly -n --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --standalone -d YOUR_DOMAIN --renew-by-default --agree-tos --email YOUR_EMAIL
```
And restart the web server:
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
``` bash
2019-08-29 11:52:42 +00:00
systemctl restart nginx
2019-07-04 21:32:18 +00:00
```
