Introduction and Summary:
Shadowsocks is an encrypted proxy for circumventing firewalls and geo-location restrictions. Some Linux server repositories do not have packages or if they do, the packages might be old since the server and client are under constant development. These commands will help to download and build a specific version/commit of Shadowsocks-libev server from source. In this example, we will build version 3.1.3 (since I've had problems with every version after that).Prerequisites:
- Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server
- Console Access
- Root level permissions
- The following Ubuntu packages (some might be obsolete or unnecessary, send me a message if you discover an improvement):
Instructions:
Chose the "commit" that you want to build from. Here's the master list of commits available which are identified by a 7 digit code. Replace 85a64ae with the commit version you want.When logged into the server, run the following commands:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev.git
cd shadowsocks-libev
git checkout 85a64ae
git submodule update --init --recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm shadowsocks-libev -r -f
NOTE: The entire set of commands can be chained together in one long command:
cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev.git && cd shadowsocks-libev && git checkout 85a64ae && git submodule update --init --recursive && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install && cd .. && rm shadowsocks-libev -r -f
Blog Formatting Guide:
- Commands written in Consolas in BLUE are LOCAL Client Shell Commands (I'm running an Ubuntu local client)
- Commands written in Consolas in RED are REMOTE Server Shell Commands (usually in SSH)
- All commands in BOLD are CUSTOM user variables that your should change for your configuration.
