HowTo install the mix software using DEB packages
For Debian and Ubuntu servers we provide packages to simplify the installation. First, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list. Replace DISTRI by the name of your distribution. At the moment lenny, squeeze, sid, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid and maverick are supported.
deb http://debian.anonymous-proxy-servers.net DISTRI main
The repository ist signed with the OpenPGP key 0xF1305880. Download the key, verify the fingerprint and add it to your apt keyring. The command apt-key finger shows all fingerprints of you apt keyring.
# apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net F1305880
# apt-key finger

Afterwards you can install the mix package you need:
aptitude install mix-free-entry
aptitude install mix-free-exit
aptitude install mix-premium
aptitude install mix-premium-exit
The installation of the packages will do the following steps:
- install the stable source code of the mix software in /usr/src/mix
- compile and install the mix software
- create a system user mix
- create the log directory /var/log/mix and set save permissions
- install the start script /etc/init.d/mix
For exit mixes the squid installation and configuration will be done by installation of the mix package:
- install the squid proxy
- install an optimized configuration for squid and the block list /etc/squid/squid-block.acl
- replace the error messages of squid
- create cache directories for squid and restart squid
If you want to extend the blocklist for your exit mix, please use the file /etc/squid/squid-block.acl.local. This blocklist will not be overwritten by updates.
For premium mixes a PostgreSQL database server will be installed with client libraries but no configuration is done.
For premium mixes NOT all steps will be done by DEB package installation. After mix installation you have to do:
- Install an configure Dante SOCKS proxy (only for premium exit mixes)
- Setup Accounting Database (only for premium entry mixes)
Optional Squid configurations for exit mixes
If you extended the squid-blocklist.acl for your mix, please use the file /etc/squid/squid-blocklist.acl.local. It will not be overwritten by updates of the JonDonym blocklist.
For high traffic exit mixes it is recommended to increase the max. open filedescriptors for Squid. Please edit the file /etc/default/squid and set a more suiteable limit:
SQUID_MAXFD=1024
Start the mix server
By default the mix configuration file is expected at /etc/mix/config.xml. You may use an other location of your mix configuration file to place your configuration file in an encrypted diskspace. This is highly recommeded, because the configuration file contains your certificates and privat keys.
Edit the value of $MIXCONF in /etc/default/mix to point to your config.xml and set the $MAXFILEDESCRIPTORS to the value used in your mix configuration.
MIXCONF=/path/to/config.xml
MAXFILEDESCRIPTORS=32768
Now you can start or stop the mix with the init.d script:
invoke-rc.d mix start
invoke-rc.d mix stop
invoke-rc.d mix status
If your mix certificate is secured by password, the init.d script will NOT work. You will not see an input promt for the password. You have to start and stop the mix by self.
start: ulimit -SHn 32768
mix -c /path/to/config.xml
stop: killall mix
killall ist part of the Debian package psmisc.
Upates
You will get all updates (mix code, JonDonym blocklist...) by:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
