Advanced installation options

When installing AxoRouter, you can set a number of advanced options if needed for your environment. Setting the advanced options in the Axoflow Console automatically updates the one-liner command that you can copy and run.

Advanced deployment options

Alternatively, before running the one-liner you can use one of the following methods:

Set the related environment variable for the option. For example:
```
export AXO_USER=syslogng
export AXO_GROUP=syslogng
```

Set the related URL parameter for the option. For example:

curl -fLsH 'X-AXO-TOKEN:random-generated' 'https://<your-tenant-id>.cloud.axoflow.io/setup.sh?type=AXOROUTER&platform=LINUX&user=syslogng&group=syslogng' | sh

Proxy settings

Use theHTTP proxy, HTTPS proxy, No proxy parameters to configure HTTP proxy settings for the installer. To avoid using the proxy for the Axolet service, enable the Avoid proxy parameter as well. Lowercase variable names are preferred because they work universally.

Installation options

You can pass the following parameters to the installation script as environment variables, or as URL parameters.

Note Running the provisioning command with sudo would mask environment variables of the calling shell. Either start the whole procedure from a root shell, or let the install script call sudo when it needs to. In other words: don’t add the sudo command to the provisioning command.
