How to run

Any Linux machine will suit in.

Install docker and git

sudo apt update
# uninstall old docker packages
for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done
sudo apt install ca-certificates curl git
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin git

Download sources

git clone https://github.com/sb0y/warp_beacon.git

Go to sources directory

cd warp_beacon

Run app

sudo docker compose up -d

Check logs

sudo docker compose logs warp_beacon -f

Upgrading

If you are using image-prod (set in docker-compose.yml by default), just rebuild your image:

cd your_warp_beacon_sources_directory/
sudo docker compose build --no-cache

Recreate existing container:

sudo docker compose up -d

How to install from PIP

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip install warp-beacon

Your configuration file will be located at /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/etc/warp_beacon/warp_beacon.conf. For convenience, we will copy it to a common directory:

mkdir /etc/warp_beacon
cp /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/etc/warp_beacon/warp_beacon.conf /etc/warp_beacon/warp_beacon.conf

Run the app

source /etc/warp_beacon/warp_beacon.conf && /usr/local/bin/warp_beacon

Most likely you will need a systemd service so that you don't have to start the service manually and don't have to worry about service start on server reboot.

cp /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/lib/systemd/system/warp_beacon.service /lib/systemd/system
systemctl unmask warp_beacon.service
systemctl enable warp_beacon.service
# start the service app
systemctl start warp_beacon.service
