Quickstart

From download to first report.

LinSentry runs locally. Use sudo when you want fuller read-only coverage of logs, queues, generated configuration, and hosting metadata.

1. Install

curl -fsSL https://linsentry.eu/install.sh | sh

For a system install as /usr/local/bin/linsentry-community:

curl -fsSL https://linsentry.eu/install.sh | sh -s -- --system

2. Verify

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
./linsentry-community_0.9.4_linux_amd64 --version

The installer performs checksum verification automatically. Manual downloads should verify SHA256SUMS before running.

3. Run

sudo ./linsentry-community_0.9.4_linux_amd64 --report --text-report

Root is not required, but sudo gives the most complete assessment. LinSentry remains diagnostic and does not automatically change the server.

4. Find the report

PDF report:  /path/to/linsentry-report-host-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-id.pdf
Text report: /path/to/linsentry-report-host-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-id.txt

LinSentry prints output paths at completion. Use --report-dir /path/to/reports to choose a destination.
