A script to install and configure your RPort server in no time.
📣 This repository holds the sources of https://get.rport.io.
We believe modern software must provide maximum user-friendliness. Installing an RPort server should not take longer than 5 minutes.
Discovering the awesome features of RPort should be fun. Therefore, we don't want to annoy you with long documentation.
🏋 The installer script does all the sisyphean task to set up the server properly and securely according to the standards of your Linux distribution.
The script installs the RPort server on cloud VMs with a public IP address and on any server inside a local network behind NAT as well. If you are behind NAT, pay attention to used ports and the FQDN. 📖 Read more
