ShellHub is a cloud-native SSH server that provides easy access to any number of remote devices securely. Here is a step-by-step guide to install ShellHub on Alpine Linux latest version:
Before installing any package, it's good to update the system by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
ShellHub is a containerized application, so we need to install Docker first. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo apk add docker
Start and enable Docker on the server:
sudo rc-update add docker boot
sudo service docker start
ShellHub is available as a Docker image on DockerHub. Run the following command to pull the latest ShellHub Docker image:
sudo docker pull shellhub/server:latest
Now run the ShellHub Docker container and expose the SSH port:
sudo docker run -d -p 2222:2222 shellhub/server:latest
The above command will start ShellHub in a detached mode and expose the SSH port.
Now, you can use an SSH client to connect to the ShellHub and verify if it's working fine.
ssh root@localhost -p 2222
If you can connect without any errors, then ShellHub has been successfully installed on your Alpine Linux server.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing ShellHub on Alpine Linux latest version. ShellHub is a powerful tool that allows easy access to remote devices, and you should now be able to install and use it on your server without any problems.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
