Ubuntu / Debian Installation Guide

1. Install Telnet

sudo apt install telnet

2. Install Docker Engine

Setup the Docker APT Repository

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

Install the Docker Packages

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Verify the installation was successful by running the 'hello-world' image

		sudo docker run hello-world

3. Docker Post-Installation Steps

Create the Docker Group

sudo groupadd docker

Add your user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Activate changes to the group

newgrp docker

Verify you can run the docker commands without Sudo

docker run hello-world

4. Install the Connect+ Edge Container

source <(curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyte-io/edge/refs/heads/main/edge_runner_script.sh)

Response return should appear as

Edge Id: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

If the script does not return an ID, the relevant ID is stored in a text file and may be retrieved with the following command:

docker exec -it xyte_edge /bin/bash -c "cat edge_data/proxy_name.txt && echo"
