The "master-api-key.txt" -file is not actually required and provided for convenience. +Note that you still must configure the currency accepted by the merchant in +/etc/taler/taler.conf. +Afterwards, you can use the following commands to start, stop or +restart the Taler merchant backend: + + # systemctl start taler-merchant.service + # systemctl stop taler-merchant.service + # systemctl restart taler-merchant.service + +To permanently the backend whenever the system boots, use: + + # systemctl enable taler-merchant + +By default, the backend will be available at +https://localhost:9966/ and configured via +a browser at that endpoint. + +You can improve the security of the setup by enabling the use +of uinx domain sockets, see + +$ info taler-merchant "Secure setup" + +You may also want to enable the reverse proxy by +symlinking the respective configuration file to the +"sites-enabled/" directory of your chosen Web server. -- Christian Grothoff <grothoff@gnu.org> Fri 01 Jan 2021 11:37:14 AM CET |
