Starting Flare

How to Start Flare (all services)

Flare depends on all 5 services in order to validate, add, and update user data. These services include the Cloudflare Docker container, the Discord bot, the key watcher/encryptor, the Apache webserver and the Flask API. This page will show you how to start all these services assuming you saved the Cloudflare command.

2. Run your Cloudflare shell command

   sudo systemctl start apache2.service

   • You should see "Your Auth Server Is Up!"
