Documentation

The wiki has been completly reworked and is now available on readthedocs.com. It should you provide all necessary information how to setup and to use py-kms , all without clumping this readme. The documentation also houses more details about activation with py-kms and how to get GVLK keys.

Quick start

• To start the server, execute python3 pykms_Server.py [IPADDRESS] [PORT], the default IPADDRESS is 0.0.0.0 ( all interfaces ) and the default PORT is 1688. Note that both the address and port are optional. It's allowed to use IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you have a IPv6-capable dual-stack OS, a dual-stack socket is created when using a IPv6 address.
• To start the server automatically using Docker, execute docker run -d --name py-kms --restart always -p 1688:1688 pykmsorg/py-kms.
• To show the help pages type: python3 pykms_Server.py -h and python3 pykms_Client.py -h.
• For launching py-kms GUI make the file pykms_Server.py executable with chmod +x /path/to/folder/py-kms/pykms_Server.py, then simply run pykms_Server.py by double-clicking.
