Manage and Update

Running sudo ./start.sh script starts the Link-Live server, which persists through subsequent runs of the script.

Ensure you access Link-Live Private via the exact hostname/IP entered in start.sh.

Keyfile Management

After installation, log in with your superuser account credentials, and upload your keyfile. (Contact NetAlly Support if you have trouble acquiring yours.)

To update your keyfile later (due to renewal of your Link-Live Private license subscription or purchase of AllyCare), use the Super Tools available to the superuser account to replace the existing file: open the left-side menu and navigate to (Super Tools) > Keyfile Management.

NOTE: The downloadable keyfile is refreshed daily. Wait 24 hours after purchasing your Link-Live Private Subscription or AllyCare Support before downloading and importing a new keyfile.

Updating Link-Live Private

When a new version of Link-Live Private is released, we recommend the following steps:

  1. Back up your existing data/volumes (see Backup and Restore).

  2. Download and extract the new version of Link-Live Private.

  3. Run sudo /.start.sh update to update your version of Link-Live Private. All of your previous configurations will persist.

  4. Check the new version on the About page in your Link-Live Private instance: click the Support button at the bottom of the left-side navigation menu and select About.

  5. Optionally, delete the old Link-Live Private installation directory. Your data remains safe.

Updating Specific Configurations

If a specific area of configuration needs to be updated, use any combination of the following options with the start.sh script to only update those parts.

For example, sudo ./start.sh mail cert updates mail settings and SSL certificates.

NOTE: Your previously saved environment variable must be loaded to update specific parts.
