Community Basics

In the following section, you can learn more about the applications offered by the community, how to install them and configure them for use with other applications.

caution

These installation scripts and their respective applications come with no support. You will not get help from HostingBy.Design support. If you have questions, feel free to reach out in our Discord community support channel.

Directory​

A directory of installation scripts can be found on the brettpetch/hosted-scripts Github repo, along with a brief wiki.

Installation​

Before any installation, please consider reading the installer script and checking if there is an existing wiki entry on the community wiki.

Installation requires you to SSH into your server. If you need help with this, please refer to the how do I connect article. Scripts can be run by getting the raw script's URL and running it as follows (replacing the current URL):

bash <(curl -sL https://github.com/brettpetch/hosted-scripts/raw/master/overseerr.sh)
tip

If something goes wrong during your install, please consider checking the logs and the output in your console. You may find them by running the following (replacing overseerr by your application name):

less -r +G ~/.logs/overseerr.log

These can be helpful in cases where you need to see the output from installation.

Depending on the app, it might ask you to input credentials, specify versions, or other. Remember that some apps may be by default exposed to the public internet and you should add enable authentification on first run.

Controlling the Systemd Service​

Control over the application is possible as follows (replacing overseerr by your application name):

systemctl --user start overseerr

Troubleshooting​

For most troubleshooting, please consider consulting the respective application's documentation/wiki.

danger

Please be aware that unofficial apps are run with a self-signed certificate, which means your browser might give you an SSL error. Connection-wise it's equally secure, but your browser will still flag it as such. Only official apps can run with valid certificates.

Viewing logs​

tip

For application specific logs, consider running the following(replacing overseerr by your application name):

systemctl --user status overseerr

You can exit less by pressing q at any point.
