🛠️ Installation

Zentrox is not yet intended for active use, but for testing. Zentrox has the following requirements

• OpenSSL
• Uncomplicated Firewall
• Python 3.11+
• pacman/apt/dnf
• Cargo

Zentrox can be installed in one of the following two ways:

Building Zentrox

At the time, Zentrox can only be installed by building it your self.

I am currently working on adding support for pre-built binaries or an easier way to install the project.

1. Download the latest tarball from the Release page.
2. Unpack the tarball (tar -xvf zentrox.tar.gz)
3. Run the installer bash install.bash
4. Start Zentrox cd ~/zentrox; ./zentrox
5. Follow the Zentrox setup
6. Add Zentrox to your path: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/zentrox

Post installation

While installing Zentrox, install.bash has done the following changes to your computer:

1. Adding a UFW rule to allow Zentrox to be accessed from outside your computer. The rule allows Port 8080 for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
2. Creating two directories in your home directory: ~/zentrox/ and ~/zentrox_data/.

Warning

The ~/zentrox_data/ directory also contains vault files and other sensitive information. This directory and its contents should not be modified or deleted, as doing so may break Zentrox.

Removing Zentrox

Zentrox can be removed by reverting the changes mentioned above and by deleting the ~/zentrox_data/ and ~/zentrox/ directory. Doing so, will also remove your Zentrox vault files.

✏️ Contributing

You can contribute to this project in several different ways.
I am glad about pull requests, issues and feedback. You can try Zentrox at any time, but I recommend using a pre-build release as Zentrox is actively being developed on and the latest code on GitHub may not be tested yet.
