Connection to ELS for Loki

This guide outlines the steps needed to install the TuxCare ELS build of Loki on your system.

Step 1: Get Token

You need credentials in order to access the TuxCare ELS Loki repository. Anonymous access is disabled. To receive the credentials, please contact sales@tuxcare.com.

Step 2: Download and Install Loki

To browse available artifacts, visit TuxCare Nexus. Sign in with your TuxCare credentials. Navigate to the loki folder and choose the directory for your operating system (e.g. debian12, debian13, alpine3_22), then download the appropriate archive for your Loki version.
Alternatively, download from the command line. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your TuxCare credentials, and choose the URL that matches your OS and desired Loki version.
Choose operating system:
```
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -O https://nexus.repo.tuxcare.com/repository/els-golang/loki/debian13/loki-3.1.0-tuxcare.1.tar.gz
```
For other Loki versions, replace 3.1.0 in the path with 3.2.0 or 3.3.0 as needed.
Create an installation directory (for example /opt/loki) and extract the archive:
```
sudo mkdir -p /opt/loki
sudo tar -xzf loki-3.1.0-tuxcare.1.tar.gz -C /opt/loki --strip-components=1
```
Adjust the archive filename if you downloaded a different version.

Step 3: Verify Installation

Change to the Loki installation directory and run the binary to confirm the TuxCare ELS build is installed:
```
cd /opt/loki
./loki --version
```
Start Loki with your configuration and verify that the application runs correctly.
