Build or copy the binary​

From source:

go build -o cmdrad ./cmd/cmdrad
go build -o cmdractl ./cmd/cmdractl

If you are distributing prebuilt binaries from this repo, create them with:

./scripts/build-release.sh

Then copy dist/release/<version>/linux-amd64/cmdrad or linux-arm64/cmdrad to the target host.

Create a daemon config file​

Create dev/cmdrad.json:

{
  "listen_address": "127.0.0.1:8443",
  "server_cert_file": "dev/certs/server.crt",
  "server_key_file": "dev/certs/server.key",
  "client_ca_file": "dev/certs/ca.crt",
  "allowed_client_cn": "client-a",
  "data_dir": "dev/data",
  "audit_log_path": "dev/data/audit.log",
  "chunk_size": 32768,
  "flush_interval": "100ms",
  "grace_period": "5s"
}

Run in the foreground​

./cmdrad run --config ./dev/cmdrad.json

Install as a systemd service​

sudo ./cmdrad service install \
  --name cmdrad \
  --config ./dev/cmdrad.json

sudo ./cmdrad service start --name cmdrad
sudo ./cmdrad service status --name cmdrad

service install enables startup at boot.

Remove the service​

sudo ./cmdrad service stop --name cmdrad
sudo ./cmdrad service uninstall --name cmdrad

sudo ./scripts/service-smoke-linux.sh
