# How-to: Run `ptth_server`
|
|
|
|
Note: On Termux for Android you might run `umask 0022` first. Otherwise
|
|
`ptth_server` might accidentally make files world-unreadable when it opens
|
|
them, and PTTH refuses to serve world-unreadable files. 0022 is the default
|
|
on desktops, so this is probably an Android security thing. PTTH uses the
|
|
same permissions to protect its config file, so the two interfere.
|
|
|
|
## Without writing your own config file
|
|
|
|
(Ideal if you're running `ptth_server` autonomously from a script or something)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ptth_server \
|
|
--auto-gen-key \
|
|
--config-path ptth_server.toml \
|
|
--relay_url https://example.com/7ZSFUKGV \
|
|
--name my_server_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
ptth_server will:
|
|
|
|
- Try to use the API key from `ptth_server.toml`
|
|
- If that config file doesn't exist, create it, mark it as not readable to other
|
|
Unix users, and fill it with a random key
|
|
- Attempt to contact the `ptth_relay` instance with the base URL `https://example.com/7ZSFUKGV`
|
|
- Identify itself to that relay with the name `my_server_name` and the
|
|
random key
|
|
|
|
## With your own config file
|
|
|
|
(Ideal for long-lived instances)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir config
|
|
touch config/ptth_server.toml
|
|
chmod 600 config/ptth_server.toml
|
|
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=64 count=1 | base64 >> config/ptth_server.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open `config/ptth_server.toml` in your text editor.
|
|
|
|
There will be 64 bytes of random Base64 in the file already. Use that for the
|
|
`api_key` field. Fill out the other fields as desired:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
name = "my_server_name"
|
|
relay_url = "https://example.com/7ZSFUKGV"
|
|
file_server_root = "/home/user/public"
|
|
api_key =
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run `ptth_server` with no arguments.
