curl https://updates.safing.io/latest/linux_amd64/packages/portmaster-installer.deb --output /tmp/portmaster-installer.deb
  1. Install Portmaster with abroot exec alernatively use abroot shell
sudo abroot exec apt install /tmp/portmaster-installer.deb
  1. exit and reboot
  2. Remove the old service file
cd /etc/systemd/system/
sudo rm portmaster.service
  1. Symlink the new service
sudo ln -s /.system/opt/safing/portmaster/portmaster.service
  1. reboot
