Setting up Shadowsocks Manager for Multiple Servers

in

Use examples when they help make things clearer.

Alright, let me break it down for you like a boss!

So, Shadowsocks Manager allows us to manage multiple servers with ease. It’s basically like having your own personal server farm in the cloud (or on your local machine). But instead of dealing with all those ***** servers individually, we can just use this handy tool to control them all at once!

Here’s how it works: you create a configuration file that lists all your servers and their settings. Then, you run the Shadowsocks Manager program and tell it where to find that config file. From there, you can add or remove servers as needed, and even set up access control lists (ACL) to restrict who can use each server.

For example, let’s say we have three servers: one for browsing the web, another for streaming videos, and a third for playing online games. We might create a config file that looks something like this:

{
    "servers": [ // This is the main object that contains an array of server objects
        {
            "address": "123.456.789.0", // IP address of our web server
            "port": 8388, // Port number for the web server
            "password": "mysecretpassword" // Password to access this server
        },
        {
            "address": "567.890.123.45", // IP address of our video streaming server
            "port": 8389, // Port number for the video streaming server
            "password": "anothersecretpassword" // Password to access this server
        },
        {
            "address": "901.234.567.89", // IP address of our online gaming server
            "port": 8390, // Port number for the online gaming server
            "password": "yetanothersecretpassword" // Password to access this server
        }
    ]
}

// The "servers" array contains three server objects, each with their own unique IP address, port number, and password for access control.

// The first server object is for browsing the web, the second is for streaming videos, and the third is for playing online games.

// Each server object contains three key-value pairs: "address", "port", and "password".

// The "address" key specifies the IP address of the server, which is used to identify and connect to it.

// The "port" key specifies the port number of the server, which is used to determine which service or application on the server to access.

// The "password" key specifies the password for accessing the server, which is used to restrict access to authorized users only.

Once we’ve created that config file and saved it somewhere on our machine (let’s say in a folder called `configs`), we can run the Shadowsocks Manager program like so:

bash
# This script runs the Shadowsocks Manager program using a specified config file.
# The config file must be saved in a folder called `configs` and its path must be provided as an argument.

# Set the command to run the Shadowsocks Manager program.
# Use the -c flag to specify the path to the config file.
# Use the /path/to/your/configs/file.json as an example path.
shadowsocks-manager -c /path/to/your/configs/file.json

And that’s it! Now, whenever we want to add or remove a server, change its settings, or restrict access to certain users, all we have to do is edit the config file and run the Shadowsocks Manager program again.
