Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives
Installation
Dependencies:
apt-get install curl apt-transport-https ca-certificates
First obtain the repository key:
sudo curl -fsSL https://repo.jotta.cloud/public.asc -o /usr/share/keyrings/jotta.gpg
Save the repo information to apt sources :
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jotta.gpg] https://repo.jotta.cloud/debian debian main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jotta-cli.list
Run sudo apt-get update
Install the package jotta-cli :
sudo apt-get install jotta-cli
The package supplies init script for running jotta-cli in systemd user slice
For each user in the system that should run jotta-cli, enable it with:
run_jottad
The daemon should now be started with user login.
To get started:
jotta-cli help
Update gpg key
If Debian/Ubuntu throws a warning that the Jotta Packaging Team key is expired, run this to update to current key:
sudo curl -fsSL https://repo.jotta.cloud/public.asc -o /usr/share/keyrings/jotta.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jotta.gpg] https://repo.jotta.cloud/debian debian main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jotta-cli.list
Starting at boot
As jottad is now running in a user slice it will not start at boottime unless you also create a usersession at boot time.
You can use loginctl enable-linger USERNAME to start a usersession for USERNAME at boottime and jottad will start in that session.
