Installing on Gentoo Linux

Yggdrasil is hosted in the Gentoo GURU repository as the net-p2p/yggdrasil-go package.

Package install from the GURU repository

The GURU repository has to be enabled using eselect repository.

sudo eselect repository enable guru

And then synchronized with emerge:

sudo emerge --sync

Now, the net-p2p/yggdrasil-go package is masked and marked as unstable using the ~amd64 keyword. So we have to unmask it by accepting the keyword, there are two alternatives.

If /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords is a directory:

echo "net-p2p/yggdrasil-go ~amd64" | sudo tee /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/yggdrasil-go

If /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords is a file:

echo "net-p2p/yggdrasil-go ~amd64" | sudo tee -a /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

Now net-p2p/yggdrasil-go can be merged and installed with:

sudo emerge --ask net-p2p/yggdrasil-go

And you’re good to go!

Making configuration changes

Modify the /etc/yggdrasil.conf file and then either reload the config:

OpenRC
```
rc-service yggdrasil reload
```
systemd
```
systemctl reload yggdrasil
```

… or restart the Yggdrasil daemon altogether:

OpenRC
```
rc-service yggdrasil restart
```
systemd
```
systemctl restart yggdrasil
```
