Install and operate wantasticd
Connect Linux and OpenWrt endpoints with the open-source userspace agent.
Outcome
A Linux or OpenWrt endpoint enrolled with its own token and shown online.
Before you start
- A supported Linux/OpenWrt endpoint
- Shell access
- A fresh enrollment token
Run the installer
- 1Inspect the installer and environment for production use.
- 2Replace the placeholder with the new device token.
- 3Run it on the intended endpoint only.
- 4Remove the token from shell history and tickets.
Token install · sh
curl -sSL https://get.wantastic.app/install.sh | sh -s -- [your-token]Operational note: Production provisioning should use a unique device enrollment token.
Understand the command surface
- login authenticates and configures the client.
- connect starts from a configuration file.
- update installs a newer supported build.
- ping, curl, ssh and telnet use the userspace path.
- bind creates a controlled local-to-remote binding.
- neighbors and version inspect peer/build state.
Operate safely
- 1Confirm supervision and restart after reboot.
- 2Use one identity per endpoint.
- 3Keep tokens and keys out of logs.
- 4Update through the supported path.
- 5Remove decommissioned devices from the console.
Operational note: wantasticd is not the native RouterOS path for MikroTik.
Verify the result
wantasticd reports its version.
Service runs after reboot.
Endpoint is Online with a unique identity.
A supported remote workflow reaches the intended peer.
Common issues
Installer completes but device is offline.
Likely cause
Wrong token, stopped service, time/DNS error or blocked outbound traffic.
Fix
Check logs, time and DNS, create a fresh token for this device and retry once.
A command works locally but not through wantasticd.
Likely cause
Userspace reachability/policy differs from host routes.
Fix
Check assigned peer address and policy; host routes are not automatically exposed.
