Manjaro (pamac/AUR)

Please see teh Arch Linux page for a description of the difference between olivetin-bin and olivetin in AUR. This page assumes you want to compile from source (olivetin package).

PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin/
pamac install buf
pamac install olivetin
sudo mkdir -p /etc/OliveTin/custom-webui/themes/
sudo mkdir -p /etc/OliveTin/entities/

Post installation

You will need to write a basic configuration file before OliveTin will startup.

Create the following basic config file at /etc/OliveTin/config.yaml with the following contents;

The most simple config.yaml file.

actions:
  - title: "Hello world!"
    shell: echo 'Hello World!'

Now that you have a configuration file, and OliveTin is installed, start it;

Start the service (only needed once)

user@host: systemctl enable --now OliveTin

If you are running a firewall on your server, like firewalld, you will need to open port 1337;

user@host: firewall-cmd --add-port 1337/tcp --permanent
user@host: firewall-cmd --reload

You should be able to browse to http://yourserver:1337 (or similar) to get to the web interface.

If you see the OliveTin page popup in your browser, you can jump to the configuration section as the next step.

Troubleshooting systemd installations

If you are having problems, you can check if OliveTin is running like this;

user@host: systemctl status OliveTin

If the service has failed, scroll through the logs;

user@host: journalctl -eu OliveTin
