Requirement List

Download re6st

Free re6st network:

wget https://deploy.rapid.space/gnet/re6st

Production re6st network:

wget https://deploy.rapid.space/re6st

For the machines in China, please use this link for free network: 

wget https://deploy.erp5.cn/gnet/re6st

For the machines in China, please use this link for production network: 

wget https://deploy.erp5.cn/re6st

Please note that the free service has certain limitations:

  • Free services are only available for 6 months;
  • Free services can be stopped at any time by Rapid.Space without notification;
  • Free services users may be requested to confirm the services they use every month.

Run re6st

sudo FORCE=yes bash re6st

Since you already have a token from How To Request A Rapid.Space Re6st Token, you can just run the re6st command with root.

Enter Token

Your token [notoken]: [Your_token]

The script will then download some packages and install re6st. Type the token you got in above when the script asks.

If you are using copy/paste, beware of whitespaces or invisible characters that might be added when pasting your token.
Please also make sure you have a free token if using free network, or a production token if using production network.

Your Location

Manually enter your location (ignore if you want it detected automatically, format is "country code,continent code", e.g. "FR,EU") []:

The script will first offer you to manually input your location.

For the machines in China: input "CN,AS".

For machines outside China, you can rely on automatic detection or refer to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 for country codes and GEOIP documentation for continent codes.

Enable Router Advertisement

Please skip or input no for this question:

Enable Router Advertisement [no]: no

You need to enable the router advertisement when Setup SDN On A Local Area Network. In that case you need to type exactly "yes".

Test ipv6

ip -6 route

There are multiple ways to check if you can access IPv6 network. You can see the IPv6 address from the command ip -6 route. You can easily go to some test IPv6 website like https://test-ipv6.com/ with your different devices under the local network.
