LINKBOX INSTRUCTIONS

	I built a linkbox reflector using the commands provided in the “Commands For Building a Linkbox Reflector” file to build a Linbox reflector on July 18, 2022 using Debian 11.   It should work on either Debian 10 or 11 with no problem.   Copy and paste each command one (1) line at a time into a putty session.  

The  “linkbox/tlb -d -f tlb.conf”  is a command for running the linkbox software.   Running this you’ll need to keep a putty session open.   To run  The Linkbox in the background  place the start script that’s been provided in the root folder,  make it executable and then when you boot up your Linkbox Reflector  you type in the command  /root/start  and The Linkbox will run in the background without you needing a putty session open constantly. 


In /home/thelinkbox  you will need to edit your tlb.conf file with your echolink information.   Do this before running the start script.  


For a webpage to show who's connected to your Linkbox reflector place the exp.php provided here into the /var/www/html directory.    yourdomain.com/exp.php  will the the address you'll use to view that webpage.
