Install Argevon

Two ways to install — pick the one that matches your server. Both end with the same result: Argevon running, free for up to 5 devices.

1 · Install

Which one? If your server has internet, use the one-command install. If it's air-gapped (no internet), use the offline bundle. Either way you end up in the same place.

No internet on the server

Air-gapped install

The bundle contains everything — Docker included. Nothing to preinstall, no internet needed.

On a computer with internet, download the bundle from the download page and copy it to your server.

On the server, run:

tar xzf argevon-1.0.0-offline.tar.gz
cd argevon-1.0.0-offline
sudo ./install.sh

That's it. It installs Docker (if needed), starts Argevon, and prints the address.

Server has internet

One-command install

Installs Docker if missing, downloads Argevon, and starts it.

curl -fsSL https://argevon.com/install.sh | sudo sh

Run as root or with sudo.

2 · Sign in

Open https://your-server in a browser. Accept the self-signed certificate warning on first visit.

Go to Devices → Add device to start monitoring. The free tier covers up to 5 devices.

3 · Unlock more devices

In Settings → License, copy your License fingerprint.

Buy a plan at argevon.com/pricing and generate your key (it's bound to that fingerprint, and emailed to you).

Paste the key into Settings → License → Activate. Your device limit unlocks instantly — verified locally, no phone-home.

Requirements

Use a fresh, dedicated Linux host — a clean Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 LTS (or similar) server with nothing else installed. Ports 80 and 443 must be free: if another web server or control panel is already using them, Argevon won't start.

Linux (x86_64) with systemd · ~2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM · 20 GB+ disk · ports 80/443 open (optionally 69/514/162 udp for TFTP / syslog / SNMP traps).

Manage it

From the install folder — /opt/argevon for the one-command install, or the extracted bundle folder for air-gapped:

cd /opt/argevon
sudo docker compose ps         # status
sudo docker compose logs -f    # logs
sudo docker compose down       # stop (your data is kept)
sudo docker compose up -d      # start

Upgrade: with internet, sudo docker compose pull && sudo docker compose up -d. Air-gapped, download the new bundle and re-run sudo ./install.sh — your data and settings are preserved.
