Installation

Windows

Download the Luminati Proxy Manager installer

Linux/MacOS - Install script

  • Run the setup script to install
wget -qO- https://luminati.io/static/lpm/luminati-proxy-latest-setup.sh | bash

Or

curl -L https://luminati.io/static/lpm/luminati-proxy-latest-setup.sh | bash

Linux/MacOS - Manual install

  • Install Node.js 10 (nodejs.org) Node.js version for the proxy manager should be any v 10.X.X.
  • Make sure npm version is 6.4.1 or higher
    • if not, run: sudo npm install -g npm@6.4.1
  • Install Luminati Proxy from the terminal prompt:
sudo npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy

If the command is returning an error try installing using --unsafe-perm flag

sudo npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy --unsafe-perm

If you are trying to install the Proxy Manager from china on Mac/Linux please run the following command first to make sure npm is installing with allowed registry:

 npm config set registry https://registry.npm.taobao.org

After this command ran successfully install using:

sudo npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Upgrade

  • Use npm to upgrade
sudo npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy

Or use the cli command:

luminati --upgrade

Specific Version

  • To install a specific proxy manager version, choose a version from releases

  • Run (VERSION_NUMBER is the version you've chosen (example: 1.75.355)):

sudo npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy@VERSION_NUMBER

Release Notes

You can review the CHANGELOG.md for list of changes in every version

Usage

First run

After running the app for the first time:

luminati

Point your browser to the app admin UI http://127.0.0.1:22999 to set up credentials and configure your proxies.

After logging in, you will see that the default configuration for the Luminati proxy includes a "dropin" proxy running on port 22225. This mode is explained in detail below.

Run as daemon

To run the proxy manager in the background:

luminati --daemon

Dropin replacement for existing super-proxies

Luminati Proxy comes with a "dropin mode" which behaves exactly like the existing super-proxies. When running a proxy in dropin mode, you do not need to log in via the administrative UI in order to make requests through your proxies. Rather, the proxy username and password are provided with each request to the proxy server. This mode is enabled by default, and you can use this mode as an easy replacement when migrating from the regular super-proxy to the Luminati Proxy Manager.

Dropin mode is enabled by default. To disable the dropin proxy, use the flag --no-dropin:

luminati --no-dropin

For full documentation on the API for making requests through the dropin proxy, see the API Example page in your Luminati.io account.

Docker

A docker image can be found on https://hub.docker.com/r/luminati/luminati-proxy/

docker pull luminati/luminati-proxy

docker run luminati/luminati-proxy luminati

docker run luminati/luminati-proxy luminati --version

Make sure to forward appropriate ports. Proxy manager uses by default 22999 for the web console and the api, 22555 for dropin and 24000 for first configurable proxy.

  • To run docker with cli option see the below example:
docker run luminati/luminati-proxy luminati --www_whitelist_ips "172.17.0.1" --ssl true

You can add many more options to this run.

Docker with predefined config file

To use lpm's config file, docker volumes can be used: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/

Following this instructions will make your docker runs with specific config file:

  • create volume
docker volume create lpm-vol
  • Inspect the recently created volume
docker inspect lpm-vol

Should output something like this:

  [
    {
        "CreatedAt": "2018-02-01T12:59:58+02:00",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Labels": null,
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/lpm-vol/_data",
        "Name": "lpm-vol",
        "Options": {},
        "Scope": "local"
    }
  ]
  • Take the mountpoint path /var/lib/docker/volumes/lpmvol/_data and run
cd /var/lib/docker/volumes/lpmvol/_data
  • put .luminati.json to this directory (here also will be the logs and other files generated by the container)
  • run docker image and attach this volume:
  docker run --rm --name 'lpm1' --mount source=lpmvol,target=/root
"luminati/luminati-proxy" luminati

SSL Requests

The --ssl parameter is for SSL analyzing, HTTPS requests can be made without it.

REST API

Working documentation of the API can be found inside the app.

A non-working version of it can be found here

Node.js API

The proxy manager can be used as a required module for node.js applications - eliminating the need to run it as a standalone process.

The API supports both Promises and Generators. Internally, it uses the request module and supports all of its features.

Promises

'use strict';
const Luminati = require('luminati-proxy').Luminati;

const proxy = new Luminati({
    customer: 'CUSTOMER', // your customer name
    password: 'PASSWORD', // your password
    zone: 'gen', // zone to use
    proxy_count: 5, //minimum number of proxies to use for distributing requests
});
proxy.on('response', res=>console.log('Response:', res));
proxy.listen(0, '127.0.0.1').then(()=>new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
    proxy.request('http://lumtest.com/myip', (err, res)=>{
        if (err)
            return reject(err);
        resolve(res);
    });
})).then(res=>{
    console.log('Result:', res.statusCode, res.body);
}, err=>{
    console.log('Error:', err);
}).then(()=>proxy.stop());

Generators

'use strict';
const etask = require('./util/etask.js');
const Luminati = require('luminati-proxy').Luminati;

etask(function*(){
    const proxy = new Luminati({
        customer: 'CUSTOMER', // your customer name
        password: 'PASSWORD', // your password
        zone: 'gen', // zone to use
        proxy_count: 5, //minimum number of proxies to use for distributing requests
    });
    yield proxy.listen(0, '127.0.0.1'); // port and ip to listen to
    let res = yield etask.nfn_apply(proxy, '.request',
        ['http://lumtest.com/myip']);
    console.log('Result:', res.statusCode, res.body);
    yield proxy.stop();
});
