Linux

Yggdrasil is well supported on Linux.

Notes

  • Should work with any kernel that includes tun and/or tap.
  • The maximum MTU size supported on Linux is 65535.

Debian

Debian binary packages exist to simplify the installation of Yggdrasil. These will also work on any Debian-based distribution such as elementaryOS.

From CircleCI

Visit our Builds page and download the relevant .deb file, then install it on your system:

sudo dpkg -i yggdrasil...deb

From an Internet repository

To start with, trust the repository key:

curl -o- http://neilalexander.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/deb/key.txt | sudo apt-key add -

Add the repository:

echo 'deb http://neilalexander.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/deb/ debian yggdrasil' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yggdrasil.list
sudo apt-get update

Install Yggdrasil:

sudo apt-get install yggdrasil

Configuration will be generated automatically into /etc/yggdrasil.conf when the package is installed, and the Yggdrasil service will automatically be installed into systemd and started.

Other Distributions

Download the latest Yggdrasil binary and install it:

sudo cp ~/yggdrasil-x.x.xx-linux-amd64 /usr/bin/yggdrasil
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/yggdrasil

Alternatively, compile Yggdrasil from source (below) and install:

sudo cp /path/to/yggdrasil-go/yggdrasil /usr/bin/yggdrasil
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/yggdrasil

Generate configuration

If you do not have a configuration file, you should generate configuration before starting Yggdrasil:

sudo yggdrasil -genconf > /etc/yggdrasil.conf

Run Yggdrasil

Run once

Open a shell and start Yggdrasil using your generated configuration:

sudo nohup yggdrasil -useconffile /etc/yggdrasil.conf &

Alternatively, start Yggdrasil in auto-configuration mode:

sudo nohup yggdrasil -autoconf &

Run with systemd

systemd service scripts are included in the contrib/systemd/ folder so that it runs automatically in the background (using /etc/yggdrasil.conf for configuration).

Copy the service files into /etc/systemd/system, copy yggdrasil into your $PATH, i.e. /usr/bin, and then enable the service:

systemctl enable yggdrasil
systemctl start yggdrasil

Once installed as a systemd service, you can read the yggdrasil output:

systemctl status yggdrasil
journalctl -u yggdrasil

Build instructions

Linux has most of the tools needed to build Yggdrasil from source - you just need to install Go 1.9 or later.

  1. Install Go 1.9 or later, godeb is recommended for Debian-based distributions).
  2. Open a shell, clone the repository and build:
cd /path/to
git clone https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
cd yggdrasil-go
./build
  1. The resulting yggdrasil file is your build - optionally install it into your system, as above.
