Let’s create a installation directory in our servers home folder

mkdir ~/sys-api && cd ~/sys-api

Then let’s create the config/ and data/ directories

mkdir config && mkdir data

The server expects a configuration.yml in the configuration directory. Let’s download the latest one using wget

cd config

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Krillsson/sys-API/refs/heads/master/config/configuration.yml

Use your favorite text editor to edit the user & password of the config

nano configuration.yml

Then press CTRL+X to exit nano (and press Y to save)

Now we can download the latest docker-compose.yml and make our edits to it using nano

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Krillsson/sys-API/master/docker-compose.yml

Remember to swap out the volume mounts for the config/ and data/ directories

Then we can start the container

 docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up

Let’s verify the server started correctly

docker logs --follow --tail 200 sys-api

If you see this message without any error after it. That means the server is up and running

[...]: Tomcat started on ports 8443 (https), 8080 (http) with context path '/'
[...]: Started SysAPIApplicationKt in 6.352 seconds (process running for 7.234)                                               

Now you are ready to proceed to next step
