Core Installation

Install the Linknesis Core on a Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose.

Requirements

  • Linux server (Debian 13 recommended)
  • Docker Engine and Docker Compose
  • Ports 80, 443, and 4443 open to the internet
  • A DNS name pointing to the server (e.g. core.linknesis.com)

Install steps

  1. Download the installer script from the Linknesis portal.
  2. Run the installer with your desired ports:
    ./install.sh --web-port 443 --ws-port 4443 --api-port 4480
  3. The installer generates randomized MongoDB credentials and prints them.
  4. Open https://your-domain in a browser and complete setup with the token shown in the Core logs.

TLS certificates

On first boot the Core uses self-signed certificates. After you set the FQDN in Settings, Certbot can request a real Let's Encrypt certificate automatically. You may also upload custom certificates.

Post-install checks

  • Verify containers are running: docker compose ps
  • View Core logs: docker logs -f linknesis-core
  • Check probe connectivity on port 4443.
