About

This will help setup a CrewLink-Server as a service. It will also auto update.

Requirements

1. Debian or Ubuntu
2. Server that has a public IP address or the related ports are forwarded to it

• You can set this up on a VPS service like Linode, AWS, Azure, or others.

CrewLink-Server service setup

Login as root and run the following:

apt install git
[ ! -d "/opt" ] && mkdir /opt
git clone https://github.com/quonic/CrewLink-Server-SystemD-Service.git /opt/crewlink-scripts
cd /opt/crewlink-scripts && chmod +x *.sh
./setup.sh

Reboot to make sure that the update script will run

---

This will create the first CrewLink-Server instance running under a newly created user account crewlink. The crewlink user is a no password / service account that can't be logged in and doesn't have root access.

How to get your IP on a VPS

• Run curl ifconfig.me . This might require curl to be installed.
