2.Set token and config
sudo ./meson_cdn config set --token=your token --https_port=443 --cache.size=30
console output:
$ sudo ./meson_cdn config set --token=your token --https_port=443
2022-06-18 07:59:13 [INFO] using config: /home/ec2-user/meson_cdn-linux-amd64/configs/default.toml
We recommend enabling TCP Ports 443 in both directions in your server/router. Check your Router's & Cloud's instructions on how to open ports 443.
Setting port number
sudo ufw allow 443 # default is 443, support for custom server ports
To get started with port forwarding, check out https://portforward.com .
If you want to change the default config, you can use these parameters.
Param List:
-token=your token # you can find out your token in nodes page
-https_port=443 # default is 443, support for custom server ports
-cache.size=30 # minimum: 20G, default: 30G
-cache.folder=xxxx # string, cache folder path, could be an absolute path
Example:
In the example, I changed the default port to 520, cache size to 20G.
sudo ufw allow 520
sudo ./meson_cdn config set --token=your token --https_port=520 --cache.size=20 && sudo ./service restart meson_cdn
After you modify the config, please restart your node with command sudo ./service restart meson_cdn .
