For the system admin

linx doctor

linx doctor checks the whole server from the inside: services, certificates, DNS, the firewall, phone lines, backups and more. Run it on the server:

sudo linx doctor

Each line says ok, a warning, or a failure, with what to do in plain words. It ends with Everything checked is working when all is well.

When to run it

  • After installing or moving Linx.
  • When something seems wrong, before anything else.
  • When System → Status can’t be opened.

Common warnings

  • The root key backup is still on the server: copy /etc/linx/ca-backup somewhere safe, then remove it from the server.
  • No API key: nothing to do unless your own software needs one.
  • Linx uses public port 8443, not the standard 443: expected when you chose another public port. It repeats what that trades away; to test from outside, use Check it on System → Status.
