1 Download the Script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/analytics/shynet/shynet-ubuntu.sh2 Make it Executable
chmod +x shynet-ubuntu.sh3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts Shynet with its PostgreSQL database on port 8233. It generates a Django secret and DB password; you create the admin account afterward with a management command.
sudo bash shynet-ubuntu.sh4 Create the Admin User
Shynet has no default login — create your admin account with the registeradmin management command, then open Shynet and log in to add your sites:
docker exec -it shynet ./manage.py registeradmin your@email.comPorts Used
