Install

APT / YUM repository for auto-updates

Configure the OpenSight artifact repository on your machine and the system package manager will pull linkmesh-agent and linkmesh-server updates alongside your normal apt upgrade / yum update cycle.

For the full enrollment walk-through after install, see Add a Collector on docs.linkmesh.io.

Debian-based

APT (Ubuntu / Debian)

Add the signed APT repository and install the agent. The server is also available — replace linkmesh-agent with linkmesh-server below.

curl -fsSL https://api.saas.opensight.ch/artifacts/gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/opensight.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opensight.gpg] https://api.saas.opensight.ch/artifacts/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opensight.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linkmesh-agent

Future apt upgrade calls will pick up new releases automatically.

RPM-based

YUM / DNF (RHEL / Rocky / AlmaLinux / Fedora)

Drop a repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d/ and install. Works with yum, dnf, and microdnf.

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/opensight.repo
[opensight]
name=OpenSight Artifacts
baseurl=https://api.saas.opensight.ch/artifacts/yum
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://api.saas.opensight.ch/artifacts/gpg.key
EOF
sudo yum install linkmesh-agent

Future yum update / dnf upgrade calls will pick up new releases automatically.

Why a signed repo?

All packages on the OpenSight artifact server are signed with our GPG key. The APT key file at https://api.saas.opensight.ch/artifacts/gpg.key and the matching signed-by / gpgcheck entries above tell your package manager to verify each package before installing — the same supply-chain hygiene any reasonable Linux distribution applies to its own packages.

Prefer a one-shot install?

If you don't want auto-updates and just want to install once, the regular install page shows the direct .deb / .rpm download approach.
