These installers offer a quick and easy way to set up a production ready Syncwerk Server using MariaDB, Memcached and NGINX as a reverse proxy in under 5 minutes.
* Community Edition ** Professional Edition
Install the Syncwerk Server in a standard and more secure manner then our current out of the box setup scripts offer. Instead of SQLite we're using MariaDB and NGINX instead of Gunicorn.
Just select the corresponding installer for your OS. All scripts are meant to run with the bare minimum OS setup. We strongly suggest not installing Syncwerk server beside desktop environments or hosting panels like Plesk, ISPConfig, etc. Professional installations which don't follow our setup suggestions, don't qualify for official support. Please keep this in mind.
Minimal installations only!
Never run these scripts on a production server. They are more or less a one trick pony and could seriously damage production systems. Run it only once and delete it afterwards. If something goes wrong, restart with a fresh machine.
As a precaution I have added a few simple checks to abort installation if any of these fails:
- Check if you're running this script as root. If not, abort.
- Check if the user "syncwerk" exists. If yes, abort.
- Check if the directory "/opt/syncwerk" exists. If yes, abort.
- HTTPS-Proxy
- Redirect all HTTP to HTTPS
- FastCGI enabled
- WebDAV enabled
- MariaDB
- Memcached
- Auto start services
- Postfix Mailserver
- UFW-Firewall
- Fail2ban
- Autoupdate OS
All installers need to be executed as root. Running them with sudo will not work! Login as root or switch to root with sudo su before installing with these installers. Make sure your OS package repository (e.g. /etc/apt/sources.list) is configured correctly before proceeding.
For Debian Wheezy, Jessie or Stretch (64bit):
apt-get git lsb-release ca-certificates net-tools -y
cd /root
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/syncwerk/syncwerk-server-installer/master/syncwerk_v5_debian
bash syncwerk_v5_debian
You will have to download the Syncwerk Professional Server package prior to the installation and save it to /usr/src/syncwerk/.

How do I update Syncwerk? You will have to handle Syncwerk updates/upgrades manually after the initial installation.

What do I have to do after the installer has finished?
- Delete installer script. You wont need it anymore and might even seriously damage your system if you run it again.
- Follow the suggested steps at the end of the installation to finalize your Syncwerk server installation.
If your installation did not finish successfully, check /root/[installer_name]_installation.log for errors.
