Installation

EasyLog ships as a single binary and installs a service that starts on boot. Install it from the EasySYS package repository so upgrades come through your package manager. Packages are published for x86_64 and arm64; your package manager picks the right one.

For air-gapped hosts, grab the .deb or .rpm for your architecture from the releases page:

sudo dpkg -i easylog_*_amd64.deb     # or _arm64.deb
sudo rpm  -i easylog-*.x86_64.rpm    # or .aarch64.rpm
sudo systemctl enable --now easylog

Upgrades then mean downloading the next package by hand — the repository is the easier path where the host has network access.

The package installs the binary to /usr/bin/easylog, a default config to /etc/easylog/easylog.toml, and a systemd unit; the database lives in /var/lib/easylog. The service runs as root (standard for a syslog collector binding port 514).

Then open http://<host>:3000/ — on first run you'll be prompted to create the admin account, after which the UI requires login.

Next: register a source and forward its logs.
