Installing on Debian, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, Linux Mint and similar
These instructions apply to any Debian-based distribution with systemd.
Yggdrasil is supported on Debian Linux. Debian binary packages exist to simplify the installation of Yggdrasil. These will also work on any Debian-based distribution, e.g. elementaryOS.
Package install from the S3 repository
On some platforms, e.g. Raspberry Pi, you may need to start by installing
dirmngr if it is not already available:
sudo apt-get install dirmngr
Then import the repository key to your gpg keyring and export it to your
apt keyring:
gpg --fetch-keys https://neilalexander.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/deb/key.txt
gpg --export 569130E8CA20FBC4CB3FDE555898470A764B32C9 | sudo apt-key add -
Add the repository into your apt sources:
echo 'deb http://neilalexander.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/deb/ debian yggdrasil' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yggdrasil.list
sudo apt-get update
Note: The repository also works over HTTPS - you will need to sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https and then edit the above URL so that it starts with https:// instead of http:// in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yggdrasil.list.
Install Yggdrasil:
sudo apt-get install yggdrasil
Configuration will be generated automatically into /etc/yggdrasil.conf when
the package is installed, and the Yggdrasil service will automatically be
installed into systemd.
Enable and start the service after install/upgrade:
sudo systemctl enable yggdrasil
sudo systemctl start yggdrasil
One-off package install from CircleCI
Visit our Builds page and download the relevant .deb file, then
install it on your system. If you want to install the latest .deb from the
master branch:
curl -so- "https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/github/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/latest/artifacts?branch=master&filter=successful" | \
egrep -o "https.*yggdrasil\-.*$(dpkg --print-architecture).deb" | \
while read line; do curl -O $line && dpkg -i $(basename $line); done
Configuration will be generated automatically into /etc/yggdrasil.conf when
the package is installed, and the Yggdrasil service will automatically be
installed into systemd and started.
Making configuration changes
Modify the /etc/yggdrasil.conf file and then either reload the config:
systemctl reload yggdrasil
… or restart the Yggdrasil daemon altogether:
systemctl restart yggdrasil
After installation
Read the Linux platform page page for further information about Linux platform support.
