Braiins Manager Agent - Linux Installation

Overview

This guide covers the installation of the Braiins Manager Agent on Linux to manage communication between your mining devices and Braiins Manager.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure the following:

  • Server: A server running Ubuntu/Debian or another Linux distribution. For hardware details, visit our prerequisites page.
  • Admin Access: Root or sudo privileges to install and configure the agent.
  • Agent ID: Generated when creating a location in Braiins Manager.
  • Secret Key: A unique key created when a new Location is added, used to authenticate the Agent with Braiins Manager.

The Secret Key is displayed only once during the creation of a Location. After that, it is hidden for security reasons. If you lose access to the key, you will need to reset the Secret Key in the Location details to generate a new one.

Installation Steps

To install the Braiins Manager Agent on Linux, follow these steps:

1. Create a New Location

Create a new Location in the Braiins Manager UI.

2. Download the Installer

Download the installer from the Locations page in the Braiins Manager UI.

or directly from the Braiins downloads portal.

3. Install the Agent

We recommend using the terminal for installation to ensure you're prompted to enter the Agent ID and Secret Key.

sudo apt install ./DEB_FILE

Replace DEB_FILE with the actual .deb file name. During installation, the terminal will prompt you to enter your Agent ID and Secret Key.

Installing via Linux Software Install (GUI) may sometimes skip the credential prompts. To avoid incomplete configuration, use the terminal method shown above.

4. Verify That the Agent Is Online

Verify that the agent is online by checking its status on the Locations page in the Braiins Manager UI.
