Up and running on your own server

RackMoon installs on a Linux server you own or rent. Here is what you need, and what to do once it is installed.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Your RackMoon account keeps your installs, downloads and support in one place.

  2. 2

    Prepare a server

    A fresh Linux server works best. You also need a domain for the admin and the client area.

    • 2 vCPU and 4 GB of memory40 GB of disk to start
    • A domainFor example billing.yourhost.com
    • Ports 80 and 443 openFor the admin and client area

    Install RackMoon

    Run the installer as root. It checks the server, installs everything and prints your admin address.

    $ curl -fsSL https://get.rackmoon.com \
    | sudo bash

FAQ

Before you install

The questions hosting providers ask us most.

Where does my data live?

On your server, in your own database. We never see your customers or your invoices.

Do you hold customer payments?

No. Customers pay through your payment providers, straight to you.

Does RackMoon provision servers?

Not in the first release. Billing tells your systems when to provision, suspend or terminate, by webhook or as a to-do for your team.

Can I move from my current system?

An importer for other billing systems is planned. Until then, clients and products can be added through the API.

Which languages does the client area speak?

English and Chinese. Each customer picks their own.

How do updates work?

Updates install from the admin. Every release is written up on the changelog.
