This is a log to establish & install ShadowSock on VPS (Centos).
If you do not have zlib-devel and openssl-devel, then you need to install it.
sudo yum install -y zlib-devel openssl-devel
Detailed steps:
git clone https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev.git cd shadowsocks-libev ./configure --prefix=/usr && make sudo make install sudo cp ./rpm/SOURCES/etc/init.d/shadowsocks-libev /etc/init.d/ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/shadowsocks-libev sudo mkdir /etc/shadowsocks-libev sudo cp ./debian/config.json /etc/shadowsocks-libev/ sudo nano /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json
Then change the configuration file accordingly.
{
"server":"0.0.0.0",
"server_port":8388,
"local_address": "127.0.0.1",
"local_port":1080,
"password":"barfoo!",
"timeout":300,
"method":"aes-256-cfb",
"fast_open": false,
"workers": 1
}
For CentOS 6.*, just do
sudo service shadowsocks-libev start
And we are good. For CentOS 7, you need to do the followings.
sudo -i nano /etc/systemd/system/shadowsocks-server.service
And then input the following: (assuming ss-server is at /usr/bin/)
[Unit] Description=Shadowsocks service After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=nobody ExecStart=/usr/bin/ss-server -c /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID PrivateTmp=true KillMode=process Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
For previously server-port setting as a different one less than 1024, you need to set here User to root ([1]). Then save the file.
Now just do: (change 8388 to your port)
systemctl start shadowsocks-server.service systemctl enable shadowsocks-server.service firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8388/tcp firewall-cmd --reload
