Introduction
Looking Glass is a publicly accessible tool for testing connections to your VPS. It provides real-time data on your server's network accessibility.
This guide will walk you through setting up Looking Glass on your own server.
Requirements
This tutorial uses Ubuntu 14.04, but the process should be similar for other versions.
To install Ubuntu 14.04, follow these steps from your service management page in the client area:
Log in to the Client Area.
Go to the "My Services > VPS" tab.
Click the "Manage" button for your service.
Select "Install OS."
Choose Ubuntu 14.04 and proceed with the installation.
Wait 5-10 minutes and refresh the VPS management page.
Once the installation is complete, you'll need to install a LAMP stack. We've provided a [guide for installing LAMP](https://). You can use a different setup if you prefer, but ensure your server has a web server (Apache/Nginx), PHP >= 5.3, and MySQL.
Installing Looking Glass
1. First, create a separate directory for Looking Glass and navigate to it:
mkdir /var/www/html/lg
cd /var/www/html/lg
2. Download the Looking Glass package:
wget https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass/archive/v1.3.0.tar.gz
You can find information on the package and other versions on the GitHub page.
3. Extract the downloaded package:
tar -zxvf v1.3.0.tar.gz --strip-components 1
4. Navigate to the Looking Glass directory:
cd LookingGlass
5. Run the setup script:
bash configure.sh
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Looking Glass according to your needs. You can re-run the configure.sh script if you need to adjust any settings.
During setup, you'll be able to configure general information displayed on the page, set limits on the number of tests users can perform, select a theme, and more.
