See nebula-setup for installation scripts and instructions.
After initial setup, use make install to create symlinks for command line utilities
and create your first user using ./manage.py adduser command.
During the setup, it is recommended to run ./manage.py run hub and ./nebula.py commands in
GNU screen to see potential errors, but make install also creates nebula and nebula-hub
systemd units (disabled by default), which you may use to run the software in production.
- systemd units assume nebula is installed in
/opt/nebula/ nebulaservice waits 30 seconds before it is started by systemd
To view a nebula log in realtime, use nxl command.
