+ <p>Once your PK scripts are built very little is required to run the server as a local
+ user, you can literally just do:</p>
+ <pre>python3 pkctl.py start
+python3 pkctl.py attach</pre>
+ <p>and have yourself a simple instance up and running ready to run commands. Therefore
+ the rest of this section will be dedicated to getting PK running in the background
+ as a systemd service under its own user, and letting multiple system users attach
+ to the daemon at once if desired.</p>
+ <section id="install">
+ <h3>Installing</h3>
+ <p>Once again the makefile mostly has you covered here, all you need to do is:</p>
+ <pre>sudo make install</pre>
+ <p>and the makefile will set up a dedicated service user and group called
+ <code>pkd</code> which controls access to the daemon and its resources, as well
+ as setting up the pk server as a systemd service called <code>pk</code>. This
+ will also start the pk server and enable it on startup.</p>
+ </section>
+ <section id="pkctl">
+ <h3>PKCTL Usage</h3>
+ <p>Once installed, you can use the following commands to interface with the pk
+ daemon controller:</p>
+ <p><code>systemctl start|stop|restart pk</code> &mdash; this controls the
+ daemon&apos;s life cycle.</p>
+ <p><code>pkctl attach</code> &mdash; this starts an interactive session with the
+ daemon, allowing you to control and interface with clients.</p>
+ </section>
+ <section id="keygen">
+ <h3>Host Key Generation</h3>
+ <p>Once you&apos;ve installed the pk server you&apos;re going to want to change its
+ host key away from the default one which is used for testing purposes and is
+ widely available (read: not secure at all).</p>
+ <p>This is probably the only complicated part of the whole guide, mostly because
+ I haven&apos;t yet built a cute little utility to do it for you yet (I should
+ at some point). You&apos;re going to need to do the following (in your pk
+ directory):</p>
+ <pre>python3
+&gt;&gt;&gt; import crypto
+&gt;&gt;&gt; p,q,n,e,d = crypto.Crypto.keygen(4096)
+&gt;&gt;&gt; n</pre>
+ <p>Copy the number that python spits out here.</p>
+ <pre>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; d</pre>
+ <p>Also copy this number. Keep these two handy as we&apos;ll need them later.
+ Now open <code>/etc/pk/server_key.json</code> in your favorite editor and make
+ it read as follows (you can wipe out the current contents):</p>
+ <pre>{"n": &lt;the number n we got from python&gt;, "d": &lt;the number d we got from python&gt;, "e": 65537}</pre>
+ <p>At this point we&apos;re almost done, we just have to restart pk to reflect the
+ changes, so run:</p>
+ <pre>sudo systemctl restart pk</pre>
+ <p>and you should be good to go.</p>
+ </section>
+ <section id="users">
+ <h3>Local Users</h3>
+ <p>To allow non-root users on your system to use <code>pkctl attach</code>, you
+ will need to add them to the <code>pkd</code> user group. This is remarkably
+ simple to do on any unix system, just run:</p>
+ <pre>adduser [username] pkd</pre>
