You can use `install.sh` to prepare the environment and deploy AlgoVPN on the local Ubuntu server in one shot using cloud-init, or run the script directly on the server after it's been created. The script doesn't configure any parameters in your cloud, so it's on your own to configure related [firewall rules](/docs/firewalls.md), a floating ip address and other resources you may need. The output of the install script (including the p12 and CA passwords) and user config files will be installed into the `/opt/algo` directory.
You can copy-paste the snippet below to the user data (cloud-init or startup script) field when creating a new server. For now it is only possible for [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/resources/metadata/), Amazon [EC2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/user-data.html) and [Lightsail](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en/articles/lightsail-how-to-configure-server-additional-data-shell-script), [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/startupscript), [Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/using-cloud-init) and [Vultr](https://my.vultr.com/startup/), although Vultr doesn't [officially support cloud-init](https://www.vultr.com/docs/getting-started-with-cloud-init).
The command will prepare the environment and install AlgoVPN with the default parameters below. If you want to modify the behavior you may define additional variables.
`METHOD` - which method of the deployment to use. Possible values are local and cloud. Default: cloud. The cloud method is intended to use in cloud-init deployments only. If you are not using cloud-init to deploy the server you have to use the local method.
`ONDEMAND_CELLULAR` - "Connect On Demand" when connected to cellular networks. Boolean. Default: false.
`ONDEMAND_WIFI` - "Connect On Demand" when connected to Wi-Fi. Default: false.
`ONDEMAND_WIFI_EXCLUDE` - List the names of any trusted Wi-Fi networks where macOS/iOS IPsec clients should not use "Connect On Demand". Comma-separated list.
`SSH_TUNNELING` - Enable SSH tunneling for each user. Default: false.
`ENDPOINT` - The public IP address or domain name of your server: (IMPORTANT! This is used to verify the certificate). It will be gathered automatically for DigitalOcean, AWS, GCE, Azure or Vultr if the `METHOD` is cloud. Otherwise you need to define this variable according to your public IP address.
`USERS` - list of VPN users. Comma-separated list. Default: user1.
