Install the Arcane Agent
in one command

Connect remote system to your Arcane Manager. Downloads the latest binary and sets up a systemd service automatically.

curl -fsSL https://arcane-install.espensgr.dev/install.sh | sudo
          bash

Requires root. Run on the remote host you want to connect to Arcane. Linux only (x86_64 / arm64).

Connection Modes

Direct Port 3553

Manager connects to the Agent. Requires inbound TCP 3553 on the Agent host.

AGENT_MODE=true EDGE_TRANSPORT=poll AGENT_TOKEN=arc_... MANAGER_API_URL=http://...

Edge NAT-friendly

Agent connects outbound to Manager. Works behind firewalls and NAT — no inbound port needed.

EDGE_AGENT=true EDGE_TRANSPORT=poll AGENT_TOKEN=arc_... MANAGER_API_URL=http://...
