Manual installation requires some preliminary actions:

-
    +

    systemd service

    +

    Installation script

    +

    This installation script will automatically install binaries, systemd services and additional scripts that will manage backups, updates and uninstallation. This is the recommended option due to its flexibility, easy updating, and being battle tested on our servers.

    +

    Please note that currently only Ubuntu distribution is supported.

    +

    Run the following script on the server:

    +
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/stable/install.sh -o simplex-server-install.sh &&\
+if echo '53fcdb4ceab324316e2c4cda7e84dbbb344f32550a65975a7895425e5a1be757 simplex-server-install.sh' | sha256sum -c; then
+  chmod +x ./simplex-server-install.sh
+  ./simplex-server-install.sh
+  rm ./simplex-server-install.sh
+else
+  echo "SHA-256 checksum is incorrect!"
+  rm ./simplex-server-install.sh
+fi
+
    +

    Type 2 and hit enter to install xftp-server.

    Docker сontainer

    +

    You can deploy smp-server using Docker Compose. This is second recommended option due to its popularity and relatively easy deployment.

    +

    This deployment provides two Docker Compose files: the automatic one and manual. If you're not sure, choose automatic.

    +

    This will download images from Docker Hub.

    +
      +
    1. Create xftp-server directory and switch to it:
      2. +
    +
    mkdir xftp-server && cd xftp-server
+
    +
      +
    1. Create docker-compose.yml file with the following content:
      2. +
    +

    You can also grab it from here - docker-compose-xftp.yml. Don't forget to rename it to docker-compose.yml.

    You can also grab it from here - docker-compose-xftp.env. Don't forget to rename it to .env.

    1. Start your containers:
      2. +
    +
    docker compose up

    Linode marketplace

    You can deploy xftp-server upon creating new Linode VM. Please refer to: Linode Marketplace

      Enabling control port in the configuration allows administrator to see information about the smp-server in real-time. Additionally, it allows to delete file chunks for content moderation and see the debug info about the clients, sockets, etc. Enabling the control port requires setting the admin and user passwords.
