Debian

keen-pbr can be installed on Debian systems from the keen-pbr APT repository.

Add the repository from the repository page

Open the repository instructions page, select Debian in the OS selector on the left, and use the generated commands for your release and architecture:

keen-pbr repository

The generated instructions include the signing key and the apt source entry.

Install the package

Example install command:

bash
apt update
apt install keen-pbr

# or if you want headless version (without API and without WebUI)
# apt update
# apt install keen-pbr-headless

The package installs its config at /etc/keen-pbr/config.json and enables the systemd service automatically.

Useful service commands:

bash
systemctl start keen-pbr
systemctl status keen-pbr
systemctl restart keen-pbr
If you do not plan to use the keen-pbr Web UI or API, the keen-pbr-headless package uses less storage space (~1.2 MB instead of ~2.8 MB) and does not include the API server at all. Also, you can disable API server via config flag at any time on the full package version.

Next steps

Open Quick Start and use the Web UI tab for the easiest first setup. If you installed keen-pbr-headless, use the JSON / CLI tab instead.

If pre-built packages are not yet available for your platform, see Build from Source to compile keen-pbr yourself.
