How to setup a ReQrypt server

[diocat]

I have installed the server side package, when i try running reqryptd, it shows:

reqryptd 1.4.1 Copyright (C) 2017 basil
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html.

I try adding --help to see the usage, but i don't know what should i do.
Then i trying starting reqryptd by systemd, it stop immediately.

I think ReQrypt is lack of the document of configurations.

I've been meaning to make a guide, but been too busy with other projects.

But here is how to set it up using an encrypted tunnel:

It is best to install the *.deb package first. Then:

1. Generate a private key using reqryptd_tool:

    reqryptd_tool aes gen
   

2. Copy-and-paste the generated string (highlighted in yellow) into the following command:

    reqryptd --add udp://HOST:PORT?crypt=STRING,sec.2888
   

Here:

• HOST is the hostname or IP-address of your server.
• PORT is the port you wish to use. This can be any random number, e.g., between 10000..50000.
• STRING is the string generated by reqryptd_tool

If the command is successful, you can add the URL into the ReQrypt client and it should connect.
