Installing Buddy

Connect to the server and start installation

Connect to the server using SSH and run this command to download the Docker image and install Buddy:

curl -sSL https://get.buddy.works | sh && buddy install$
By default, Buddy uses ports 80, 443, and 22 for communication. If these ports are not available, the installer asks to provide alternative ports.
If you're connecting to the server through a proxy, add the HTTP_PROXY environment variable on the Linux server. Run this command: bash export HTTP_PROXY="http://proxyIp:proxyPort"
