Install or restore Soft Touch

Everything on this page is a complete, installable copy of the Soft Touch codebase — the main gateway app plus every sub-app under apps/. No node_modules, no real secrets: every app ships a .env.example template instead of live credentials.

1. Latest automatic build

Loading…

2. Manual snapshots

Triggered by hand from the Alerts & backups page's "Back up now" button — for example right before a risky change. Kept separately from the automatic build above so the two are never confused.

3. Getting it onto a new machine

Download directly (simplest)

Use one of the "Download" links above from the browser on the machine you're installing to, or copy the link and fetch it from a terminal there:

wget https://backup.softtouch.com.bd/daily/<archive-name>.tar.gz

Via Google Drive

This box can optionally auto-upload backups straight to your own Google Drive (real OAuth connect flow, off by default) — set up under Alerts & backups > "Google Drive backup destination" on ssh.softtouch.com.bd once GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/SECRET are configured. Until then, or if you'd rather not connect it: download the archive here, upload it to your own Google Drive manually, then share or download that Drive copy from wherever you're installing to.

From another machine's hard drive (scp/rsync)

If the archive is sitting on a different computer than the one you're installing to — rather than downloading through this browser session — copy it directly between the two over SSH:

scp your-user@source-machine:/path/to/<archive-name>.tar.gz .
# or, to pull it straight onto the new box from here:
scp your-user@this-box:/var/www/backup-softtouch/daily/<archive-name>.tar.gz .

rsync or a mounted network share work the same way if that's more convenient.

Full step-by-step install instructions (prerequisites, npm install, secrets setup, pm2, nginx + certbot) are in the README bundled with every archive — read the current one here.
