Installation
This document will guide you through the process of obtaining and installing Isle on your machine.
NOTE currently only linux machines with the following architectures are supported:
x86_64(akaamd64)aarch64(akaarm64)i686
(i686 has not been tested.)
More OSs and architectures coming soon!
Install isle
How isle gets installed depends on which Linux distribution you are using.
Archlinux (also Manjaro)
Download the latest .pkg.tar.zst package file for your platform from
this link.
Install the package using pacman:
sudo pacman -U /path/to/isle-*.pkg.tar.zst
Other Distributions
If a package file is not available for your distribution you can still install an AppImage directly. It is assumed that all commands below are run as root.
Download the latest .AppImage binary for your platform from
this link, and place it in your /usr/bin directory.
Create a daemon.yml file using default values by doing:
mkdir -p /etc/isle/
isle daemon --dump-config > /etc/isle/daemon.yml
Create a system user for the isle daemon to run as:
useradd -r -s /bin/false -C "isle Daemon" isle
If your distro uses systemd, download the latest systemd service
file and place it in /etc/systemd/system. Run systemctl daemon-reload to ensure systemd has seen the new service file.
If your distro uses an init system other than systemd then you will need to configure that yourself. You can use the systemd service file linked above as a reference.
From Source
If you'd like to build your own isle binary from scratch, see the Building
Isle document.
Add Users to the isle Group (Optional)
If you wish to run isle commands as a user other than root, you can add that
user to the isle group:
sudo usermod -aG isle username
Start the isle Service
Once installed and bootstrapped you can enable and start the isle service by doing:
sudo systemctl enable --now isle
(NOTE If your distro uses an init system other than systemd then you will need to instead start isle according to that system's requirements.)
