Terry Stanford 8 Posted ... Sorry if this is a dumb question but being new to Linux, I have to ask it... I am running an Ubuntu VPS. I am happy to start Eddie via CLI only as I won't need access to GUI desktop environment much. If I install Eddie via CLI, will that install the Eddie GUI as well or are they two separate things? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post
Terry Stanford 8 Posted ... I have managed to install Eddie CLI, eventually! I used the .deb package. I don't know how to set it up with a preferred server, my login details etc. Am I right in thinking I can download a file from the config generator (as I would for vanilla openvpn) and my Eddie installation will use whatever settings are in that file? If so, please could someone tell me which folder the config file should be put in after I download it. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post

While Eddie supports parsing .ovpn config files, it's first and foremost a convenient way to access AirVPN services directly, so no ovpn file is needed. Eddie uses the settings in its own config file ~/.config/Eddie/default.profile. They're primarily set from the GUI Preferences, not sure if setting the CLI options change them in that file as well. The CLI options are detailed in the manual, man eddie-ui for more info. Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures » I am not an AirVPN team member.

Terry Stanford 8 Posted ... I read "man eddie-ui" and it's a bit beyond me due to lack of linux understanding. Can you please tell me something.... if I download linux GUI version of Eddie, am I right in thinking I will then able to issue commands from CLI if needed, so i have the choice of GUI or CLI? If so, that's way easier for me and I can use the GUI to set up my preferred servers etc, then just use the CLI command to connect when needed. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post

Terry Stanford 8 Posted ... Is it possible to uninstall Eddie-CLI, but leave Eddie GUI installed? If so, any idea how to do that please? Quote Share this post Link to post
OpenSourcerer 993 Posted ... The CLI is included in the Eddie-UI executable, so no. 1 Terry Stanford reacted to this Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures » I am not an AirVPN team member.

Staff 8697 Posted ... @Terry Stanford Hello! You may consider AirVPN Suite, so you can even uninstall Mono (which is needed even if you run Eddie in CLI mode only). https://airvpn.org/suite/readme/ Evaluate which solution between Hummingbird and Bluetit+Goldcrest couple suits your needs.. In both cases you will save about 200 MB of RAM, and in some cases up to 1 GB RAM, which can be very precious in general and especially in a VPS. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
