From v0.9.10+

Update JANUSEC like this:

#wget https://www.janusec.com/download/janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#tar zxf ./janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#cd janusec-1.2.x-amd64
#./install.sh
#systemctl restart janusec

From V0.9.9

First, nftables is required for CC defense from v0.9.10.

nftables is not installed for CentOS 7 by default, installation is required:

#yum -y install nftables
#systemctl enable nftables
#systemctl start nftables

nftables has been installed for CentOS 8, and as backend of firewalld, just enable firewalld ：

#systemctl enable firewalld
#systemctl start firewalld

Then, update JANUSEC like this:

#wget https://www.janusec.com/download/janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#tar zxf ./janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#cd /data/janusec-1.2.xx/
#./install.sh
#systemctl restart janusec

From V0.9.5~V0.9.8

Step 1:

config.json changed in V0.9.9, so backup and new config.json is required:

#cd /data/
#wget https://www.janusec.com/download/janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#tar zxf ./janusec-1.2.3-amd64.tar.gz
#mv /usr/local/janusec/config.json /usr/local/janusec/config.json.old
#cp ./janusec-1.2.xx/config.json.primary_bak /usr/local/janusec/config.json

Edit /usr/local/janusec/config.json, refer to Configuration File, set database information.

#vi /usr/local/janusec/config.json

Step 2:

Check nftables started.

Step 3:

Install the latest version（config.json will not be overwrote if it exists.）：

#cd /data/janusec-1.2.xx/
#./install.sh
#systemctl restart janusec

From Version 0.9.4 or earlier

0.9.5 changed the service type, so before installation:

Step 1:

#systemctl stop janusec

stop the service.

Step 2:
Check nftables started.

Step 3:

Backup /usr/local/janusec/config.json or record the password in it.
Delete /usr/local/janusec/config.json , then install script will copy a new config.json .
Install latest Janusec, and check config.json to fill in the password.

If:

#systemctl restart janusec

not work, just kill it.
