Congratulations on your choice to opt-in to our BitNinja Beta program.
This is not just an option for you to test new features; you are also granting us an extraordinary possibility
to highly improve our product, BitNinja Server Security.

  • To do this, you will need to add our beta repository.
  • Add our public SSH key to the server with root privileges. This is required:
    • for our developers to install the beta version manually
    • for monitoring the logs
    • to allow the developers to intervene if there would be any issues
  • Please send an email to our colleague at mark@bitninja.io

Enable the BitNinja beta repository

A word of caution:
– A working BitNinja installation is a pre-requirement!
– Installing the BitNinja Beta repository may lead to unforeseen consequences such as unavailable websites and/or temporary service disruptions. Only enable the Beta repository if you’ve acknowledged and accepted the risks involved.

You can simply switch over to the latest Bleeding Edge (Beta) repository on our dashboard as seen here:
