Install: Account - dibrz/ARMBand GitHub Wiki

You will NOT use root to setup Cloudbox, as Cloudbox installs certain things to /home/USER/ folder, where as, root uses /root/ as it's home folder. This will definitely break the install.

Instead, you can use the guide below to create a non-root user account and use that going forward.

TLDR: Do not use root to install Cloudbox.

Choose ONE of the following:

In this step, you will create the user account seed and add it to the seed and sudo groups.

Run the following commands line by line:

sudo useradd -m seed
sudo usermod -aG sudo seed
sudo passwd seed
sudo chsh -s /bin/bash seed
su seed

Note: If you have an existing user account that you don't plan on using, it may be a good idea to remove it and just stick with using seed for everything.

Run the following commands line by line:

sudo useradd -m <username>
sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>
sudo passwd <username>
sudo chsh -s /bin/bash <username>
su <username>

Set user in settings.yml to your username.

Note: If you decide to change your username after Cloudbox install, you will need to update the service.d files with your new username/group, see FAQ.

sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>

Set user in settings.yml to your username.

Note: If you decide to change your username after Cloudbox install, you will need to update the service.d files with your new username/group, see FAQ.

From now on, you will log into your server with the above account (not with root).

Example:

ssh user@serveripaddress

Eventually, the server IP address can be replaced with cloudbox.domain.com (or mediabox.domain.com and feederbox.domain.com for Mediabox/Feederbox setups).
