Install Beszel Agent As Service Under Windows

The Windows cmd file install-beszel-service.cmd installs the Beszel agent as a service under Microsoft Windows.

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Windows 10 or later (32 or 64 bit)
• Git installed

If you don´t have Git installed, either

• install Git with Winget: winget install git.git or
• download and extract the ZIP file from Releases.

Usage

Open a cmd.exe shell with administrative rights.

git clone https://gitea.elpatron.me/elpatron/Install-Beszel-Agent
cd Install-Beszel-Agent
.\install-beszel-service.cmd <your Beszel ssh key>

Explanation

The script copies agent.exe into the directory %ProgramFiles%\BeszelAgent and takes usage of NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager to install the service. If NSSM is not yet installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed to the Beszel agent directory.

The provided agent.exe was compiled on January, 17th 2025 by me and should be exchanged by a self compiled or official executable.
