Installation

Installation

Install the first X Acceleration Engine Master directly on a supported 64-bit Linux server with systemd and root access.

1. Check System Requirements

Check the System Requirements.

2. Download and Install Engine

Run as root:

wget http://ftp.xaccel-codec.com/releases/xaccel-engine-1.0.1.sh
bash ./xaccel-engine-1.0.1.sh --install

Warning

Installation and upgrades stop and disable supported host firewalls: firewalld, UFW, nftables, netfilter-persistent, iptables, and ip6tables. Cleanup can remove system-wide filtering and NAT rules, including rules from other software. Saved rule files remain. Custom scripts and cloud firewalls are not managed. Errors stop installation. Software rollback does not restore firewall state.

Changed in Engine 1.0+

3. Wait for the Management Page

Wait for the installer to report that the service is ready, then open HTTP port 80:

http://<server-ip>/

Sign in with username admin and password admin. Change the password immediately and activate the license.

4. Install the NVIDIA Driver (NVIDIA GPU Servers Only)

Schedule maintenance: driver installation interrupts streams and GPU workloads.

cd /opt/xaccel-engine
bin/web --nvidia-driver-install

Engine checks build requirements and asks before installation. It attempts to restore stopped services on success, failure, or cancellation. Check any restart errors.

Changed in Engine 1.0+

See Hardware Acceleration for options and troubleshooting.

Troubleshoot or Roll Back

Check the Engine log:

tail -n 100 /opt/xaccel-engine/log/error.log

Keep the error output and /var/log/xaccel-engine-installer.log for support.

To select a recovery point:

bash ./xaccel-engine-1.0.1.sh --recovery

After recovery, verify the management page and services.
