This page will describe how to set up your own router, and how to configure it optimally.
Quick Setup
You can download the router for all supported OS here. This is a .zip file, containing a folder for each OS. Within each of those folders, are the router binary, and a default .toml file.
To see what all the different TOML attributes do, check out the Titan.toml page.
What you need to change in order to just get it up and running, is simply the IP (to your own, local IP), and possibly the port.
- For Linux users
- Ports <1024 may be restricted to non-elevated users, so you might need to change the port in the .toml accordingly.
- Note
- You might need to port forward your specified port in order get external connections through your home router, depending on your home router.
Running the Router
When you execute the binary (preferably with a .500 Magnum), you'll be given a terminal window, prompting you to with version info, and <Press '?' for help>
- You currently have 3 options in the terminal window
d- Show you the Dashboard, with some info about your router.r- Restart the router (and maybe fix some issues?).x- Exit and terminate the router.
When you show your dashboard, it'll show you the name of the router(s), the Address, Port, State, and Load.
This is all the information you can get from the command line interface.
State will always be either OK or Error. If the latter is present, you'll have to review your .toml file, or your user permissions (running the binary as an elevated user might help).
