Manual Installation

The configurations generated by ERWALL runs on your own server. ERWALL directly communicates with your servers to keep the configurations up to date. Firstly, you should download the Server application from here. After you complete installation of both ERWALL Server and Client applications, they start to communicate. Every action you perform on the ERWALL panel will be transformed into the related setting and operated on your servers.

Download ERWALL Server

Create your appsettings.json file to configure you ERWALL Server application

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Error",
      "Microsoft": "Error",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Error"
    }
  },

  "AllowedHosts": "*",

  "ConnectionStrings": { 					# MySQL connection string
    "DefaultConnection": "server=<DATABASEHOST>;database=<DATABASE_NAME>;user=<DATABASE_USER>;password=<PASSWORD>;"
  },

  "JwtConfiguration": {
    "Cookie": "X-Access-Token",
    "ValidAudience": "http://localhost:4200",
    "ValidIssuer": "http://localhost:61955",

    "SessionDurationInMinutes": 60                             	# session duration for users
  },

  "Service": {						        # do not change this part
    "Mode": "Internal",

    "Internal": {
      "Cache": true,
      "CacheDurationInSeconds": 30
