Installation

Head on over to the license dashboard and click on the “Install” button.

From there you will see an installation script similar to this:

wget https://updates.sysward.com/appliance.tar.gz; tar xzvf appliance.tar.gz
LICENSE_KEY="KEY_HERE" EMAIL="YOUR_EMAIL_HERE" ./appliance/installer.sh
  1. Login to your appliance server
  2. Swap to your root user sudo su
  3. Run the installation script to install the appliance.
  4. Login to the dashboard to start using the new version.

You can visit your appliance now at https://<your-appliance-ip>.

If you wish to put your own certificates in place instead of the self-signed/generated ones, you can do so by replacing the sysward.crt and sysward.key files in /opt/sysward/ and restarting nginx.

Where is my password?

Towards the end of the installation script, highlighted, you should see a password created for you:
