Installing on Linux

Requirements

A 64-bit Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, and similar)
systemd (used by most modern distributions)
sudo access

Steps

Extract the download

unzip savemydb-agent-*.zip
cd savemydb-agent-*

Make the agent executable

chmod +x savemydb-agent install.sh

Run the installer

./install.sh

This creates the necessary folders, installs a systemd service, and starts the agent.

Check the dashboard

Within about 30 seconds, your agent appears on the Agents page with an online status.

Running as a service

The agent installs as a systemd service named savemydb-agent.

# Check status
sudo systemctl status savemydb-agent

# View logs
sudo journalctl -u savemydb-agent -f

# Stop
sudo systemctl stop savemydb-agent

# Start
sudo systemctl start savemydb-agent

# Disable from starting on boot
sudo systemctl disable savemydb-agent

Uninstalling

sudo systemctl stop savemydb-agent
sudo systemctl disable savemydb-agent
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/savemydb-agent.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/savemydb

This stops backups from running, but doesn’t delete backups already stored — those remain in your chosen storage.
