install-agent.sh

Brings one more server into the fleet, verifies its checksum and enrolls it over mutual TLS.

curl -fsSL https://deplo.example.com/install-agent.sh | sudo bash -s -- <TOKEN> <URL> [FINGERPRINT]

The three role flags below pick what the server is for, see Server roles for the full comparison.

Always take this command from the dashboard

The copy in the repository has placeholders that the running instance substitutes with the release's per-architecture URL and its checksum, and it refuses to run unsubstituted.

Requires

Root, systemd, curl and sha256sum, on linux/amd64 or arm64. Docker is installed if missing, except for a migration source, which needs the Docker it imports from. It refuses below 5 GB free on /, recommends 30 GB, and checks nothing about memory or CPU.

What the installer does

  • Runs a preflight for the architecture, required tools, disk space and control-plane URL. --force overrides only the 5 GB disk check.
  • Installs Docker, address pools, git, and Traefik when the selected role needs them.
  • Downloads the amd64 or arm64 agent and verifies its SHA-256 checksum.
  • Installs the agent and systemd unit, then starts the service.
  • Enrolls over mTLS. It stores bootstrap credentials in /var/lib/deplo-agent/bootstrap.env with mode 0600 and clears old certificates on reinstall.

The installer never changes the firewall. If ufw or firewalld blocks 9443, it prints the command needed to open it.

Flags: --check runs the preflight and exits, --force overrides the disk floor, and --plain, --no-color, --quiet and --help do what they say.

--ipv6 gives Docker IPv6, which an IPv6-only server gets on its own, along with public NAT64 for ghcr.io and github.com. The same as the panel installer. Which kind of address the server's apps get is set in the dashboard, under Generated addresses.

The agent then calls home, sends a certificate signing request, and receives a signed certificate. The control plane never connects to your machine to set this up.

Logs: journalctl -u deplo-agent -f.
