Starting logviewer

Using pipenv

Install dependencies by running:

pipenv install

Run logviewer with:

pipenv run bot

Using PM2 (recommended)

You need to use pipenv at least once before using PM2.

To start logviewer using pm2 run:

pm2 start logviewer.sh --name "logviewer" && pm2 save

If this is the first time you're using PM2 and you haven't used it for Modmail you should see a command below "[PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:". Copy and run the command. The command should look like this:

sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u ubuntu --hp /home/ubuntu

Congratulations! You now have a working Modmail and logviewer.
