Server is the only required component — the control plane runs on your cluster or a single host. Collectors are upstream OpenTelemetry —otelcol-contrib (enrolled via OpAMP) or Grafana Alloy (via remotecfg) — so there's no LinkMesh-specific collector binary to download. The Agent is an optional onboarding helper. All LinkMesh binaries are single-file Go builds with no runtime dependencies.
Supported platforms: Linux (amd64, arm64) and Windows (amd64). macOS is intentionally out of scope — see ADR 0017 for the rationale.
After download, the Quickstart in the docs walks through first-time setup with screenshots. Prefer auto-updates from apt / dnf? Install from APT or YUM has the copy-paste commands, the architectures we actually publish, and the signing-key fingerprint.
Upgrading an existing install? Read the changelog first. It lists the breaking changes in each release and the steps to take for every one of them. Then follow the upgrade procedure— package upgrades use the same APT / YUM repository as a fresh install.
LinkMesh version numbers do not carry a semver major warning — a breaking change can ship in a minor release — so rely on the changelog's marking rather than on the number. You can subscribe to the feed instead of checking back.
linkmesh-serverThe control plane: web UI, REST + gRPC API, config push, fleet metrics. One binary, embedded BoltDB by default; MongoDB optional for large fleets.
docker pull docker.io/opensight/linkmesh-server:latestlinkmesh-agentOptional edge connector for guided onboarding. Runs beside a collector on a VM, or as a Kubernetes DaemonSet across a fleet — auto-detecting running services, discovering log sources, and rolling up cluster workloads so you onboard from real, observed inputs. It carries no telemetry and does not run your collector.
Not required. Collectors enroll directly via OpAMP (otelcol-contrib) or remotecfg (Grafana Alloy) and manage themselves; the agent only adds discovery and onboarding help. It connects over a WebSocket on port 443 with a bearer enrollment token.
