EdgeVPNio DEBIAN PACKAGE

The Debian package installs EdgeVPNio (evio) as a systemd service and is supported in Ubuntu 18.04 and Raspberry Pi Raspbian OS. Use the following procedure to create a new installer package.

  1. Clone the tools repo and use tools/debian-package as your base directory.
  2. Copy the tincan executable, and the contents of the controller folder into evio/opt/evio.
  3. Copy config.json, the template or completed file, into evio/etc/opt/evio.
  4. Execute ./deb-gen to create the evio.deb installer package.

Installation creates the following files and directories:

  1. /opt/evio/tincan
  2. /opt/evio/controller/
  3. /etc/opt/evio/config.json
  4. /etc/systemd/system
  5. /var/logs/evio/tincan_log
  6. /var/logs/evio/ctrl.log

To install EdgeVPNio invoke sudo apt install -y <path/to/installer>/evio.deb.
After installation but before starting evio, complete config.json by adding the XMPP credentials, setting the IP address, and applying other configurations as needed.
Then start evio using sudo systemctl start evio.
Additionally, use systemctl to start/stop/restart/status evio.

EdgeVPNio is configured to be started automatically on reboot.
