Linux Orchestration Agent Beta

Install the beta Knocknoc orchestration agent. Pre-release; may be unstable.

Beta channel. These are pre-release builds. They receive updates ahead of the main channel and may be unstable. Use only in non-production environments unless directed by Knocknoc support.

Install

Run this on any Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Rocky or AlmaLinux host you want Knocknoc to control. The script configures the package repository, installs the knocknoc-agent orchestration agent, and enrols the host against your Knocknoc server.

curl -fsSL https://packages.knocknoc.io/beta-setup/setup_knocknoc_agent.sh | sudo bash

Prefer to read the script before piping to bash? View it here.

What the script does

  1. Detects your distribution and adds the matching Knocknoc package repository.
  2. Imports the Knocknoc signing key.
  3. Installs knocknoc-agent via apt or dnf.
  4. Starts the orchestration agent as a systemd service and enables it at boot.

You'll be prompted for the hostname of your Knocknoc server so the orchestration agent can enrol.
