Installation - Debian

The following documentation assumes that you have already set up a redis server, a leap SHIP node, and a running leap API node.

1. Installing the package

Using Sw/edens apt repository

First, obtain the key.

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
curl -sS https://apt.eossweden.org/key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/eossweden-2023.gpg > /dev/null

Next, install the package.

For bash shell

sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.eossweden.org/main `lsb_release -cs` stable"
sudo apt-get install thalos

For fish shell

sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.eossweden.org/main "(lsb_release -cs)" stable"
sudo apt-get install thalos

Manual installation

Alternatively, you can manually install the package by downloading the .deb file from the latest release.

curl https://github.com/eosswedenorg/thalos/releases/download/<version>/thalos_<version>_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install ./thalos_<version>_amd64.deb

2. Configuration

The configuration file is located at /etc/thalos/config.yml and contains an example configuration with extensive documentation. Below are the essential fields that you need to modify. You can adjust the settings according to your preferences.

name: MyShipReader
api: "http://api.example.com:8888"

ship:
  url: "ws://ship.example.com:8080"

3. Starting the Server via systemd

sudo systemctl enable thalos-server
sudo systemctl start thalos-server

After executing these commands, the server should be up and running. You can check the logs at /var/log/thalos.log (unless specified otherwise in the configuration), or by running sudo systemctl status thalos-server.

Starting Manually

If desired, Thalos can also be started manually for quick configuration testing or in cases where running systemd is not preferable:

/usr/bin/thalos-server --config /etc/thalos/thalos.yml
