Install the agent

Install the Nethera agent on a Linux machine you want to deploy apps to.

The Nethera agent runs on the Linux machine that will host your containers. It connects outbound to Nethera, receives deploy requests, and manages Nethera-created Compose projects.

Install

Run this on the target Linux machine:

bash

$curl -fsSL https://get.nethera.io/agent | sudo sh

The installer installs Docker and WireGuard tools where supported, installs nethera-agent, creates required Nethera directories, and starts the systemd service.

Pairing

After install, the agent initiates pairing and prompts you to attach the machine to your Nethera workspace. Follow the displayed link or code.

What the agent does

polls Nethera for deploy and management work;
writes deployment files under /var/lib/nethera;
runs Nethera-managed Docker Compose projects;
configures Nethera-managed network state when machine configuration is available.

The agent does not require inbound public ports.

Check status

bash

$sudo systemctl status nethera-agent
$sudo journalctl -u nethera-agent -f
