CloseYourIt

install / one command

Install CloseYourIt on your server

One command asks for a domain, an email for the certificate and your mail server, then starts everything.

$ curl -fsSL https://get.closeyour.it | sudo bash

What you need

Before you run the command.

  • A Linux server with 4 GB of memory (for example a Hetzner CX22)
  • A domain pointing to the server
  • Ports 80 and 443 open
  • An SMTP server to send email (optional at first)

What the command does

In order, from start to finish.

  1. 1Checks Docker and installs it if missing
  2. 2Asks for domain, certificate email and SMTP
  3. 3Generates every secret key in /opt/closeyourit
  4. 4Starts app, worker, PostgreSQL and Caddy
  5. 5Turns on HTTPS and the nightly backup

After the install

Four commands to keep it in order.

closeyourit update
backs up, installs the new version and goes back by itself if something fails
closeyourit backup
saves the database now; the nightly copy keeps the last 7
closeyourit enable ingest
turns on the ingest gateway that queues data when the app is slow
closeyourit doctor
checks disk, certificate, version and backups
