Prerequisites
Before installing the Capsule8 Console, create a Postgres database for the console.
Access token
Capsule8 maintains an external package repository where deb packages are managed so that any user with an access token can install the correct packages for their system.
A read only token is used to authenticate with Capsule8’s repository host, PackageCloud. Access tokens are alpha numeric strings with no punctuation (eg. abcdef012314f29dc850878c6747b70f5b3ff01234567891092f0).
Adding the repository
The following example is run locally with the access token abcdef012314f29dc850878c6747b70f5b3ff01234567891092f0 on a Debian-based operating system (like Debian or Ubuntu).
curl -s https://abcdef012314f29dc850878c6747b70f5b3ff01234567891092f0:@packagecloud.io/install/repositories/capsule8/capsule8/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
Install packages
Once the local system is updated to pull Capsule8’s packages, they can be installed using the system’s native package installer.
Providing a Console version is optional. The most recent version available will be installed by default.
Here is an example of installing the Capsule8 Console version 4.6.2 :
sudo apt-get install capsule8-console-systemd=4.6.2
Configure the Console
Follow instructions in our configuration guide to create a configuration file and connect the console to the Postgres database.
Enable and start the Capsule8 Console
sudo systemctl enable capsule8-console
sudo systemctl start capsule8-console
Monitoring the Capsule8 Console
To make sure the Console is running, check its status:
sudo systemctl status capsule8-console
To view logs and other output:
sudo journalctl -efu capsule8-console
