🧐Selecting a server to install
All new users are given a Trial plan right after installing Dolphin {Server}. Since this is not a desktop application, but a server application, it must be installed on a VDS (VPS). Before you do the installation, choose the vendor option that's right for you:
🔗Timeweb (there is a Dolphin auto-installation)
🔗Friendhosting (popular lately)
🔗Linode (if you have a European bill)
🔗Hetzner (for heavy loads)
your own version.
Each of these vendors has different capabilities, but to install Dolphin {Server} it is sufficient to choose a server with these parameters:
Operating system - Debian 10 Linux (this system only)
RAM - от 2 GB
Number of processor cores - от 1 core
Memory HDD/SSD - от 25 ГБ
No restrictions on external and outbound connections (so that the Dolphin {Server} license can update correctly).
If you have a small team or large accounts:
Operating system - Debian 10 Linux (this system only)
RAM - от 8 GB
Number of processor cores - от 4 cores
MemoryHDD/SSD - от 100 GB
No restrictions on external and outbound connections (so that the Dolphin {Server} license can update correctly).
Server location - any country in Europe or neighboring countries (except Russia itself).
Servers located in Russia, we do not advise to take, as on these servers there are problems with the proxy, as well as with pulling data from fb.
If you find it difficult to choose the parameters of RAM and CPU, do not worry - take the minimum (as specified in the checklist) and, if necessary, you can improve the configuration through your server provider without losing data.
After deciding on the options, start creating the server and wait for completion.
If you have chosen Timeweb, then it is enough for you to select "Marketplace" - "Dolphin" and Dolphin {Server} automatically when creating the server. In this case, you can skip the step with the installation and go straight to "Create user". If there are problems with software after autoinstallation, then reset to manual as below in "Installation Process"
After purchasing the server, you must have root access to the purchase. Usually sellers send it to your email, which you indicated when you registered for seller service. It looks like this: IP, root, password. You will need this data in the next step.
💻Installation process
The actions performed in this step affect the work with the server. If you don’t feel that you can handle it, please contact our support team and we will help you install Dolphin {Server} on the server without problems.
To install Dolphin {Server} yourself (unless you are a Timeweb user), you need to connect to the server remotely. The connection takes place from your computer. Since clients have different operating systems, we differentiate this step under each separately.
Windows installation
Open the "Command Line" (via "Start" fastest)
Enter the ssh root@IP-address command you bought, for example, we have it ssh root@193.168.3.107. If you have chosen friendhosting, please note that they have a non-standard port (22) and 3333. To connect on 3333 port, you need to enter the command: ssh root@IP-address -p 3333 (also this port due to the use of SFTP protocol can conflict with some Internet providers and cause errors in connection or installation. Solution: change Internet, for example to mobile)
The first time you enter, you will be asked to save a thumbprint. Enter yes and press Enter
Next, the system will ask for a password. Enter the password manually (the paste from the buffer does not work here). Note that you will not see the password when typing, you need to enter carefully
After you connect to the server, you must enter the: apt update command (to update the Debian 10 build)
Next, simply insert the command (shift+insert hotkeys) to install Dolphin {Server}
rm -f install.sh && apt install -y wget > /dev/null 2>&1 &&& getwhttps://.dolphin.r.s./973842b8bbf966dfe5dbe&&&&&w& get whttptps.O install.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 && bash install.sh
After you receive the message "I think it is done :), go to any browser via the link of your IP/install.php. Enter the data from DOLPHIN | Login , that you received during the "Account Registration" phase. Next, proceed to the "Create user" section. Installation completed.
