In this tutorial, we'll be going through the process of installing and setting up Bolt on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that your Arch Linux machine has the following:
Bolt is developed by Puppet, therefore, we'll need to add the Puppet repository to our Arch Linux machine. Open your terminal emulator and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S curl
After installing curl, run the following command to add the Puppet repository to your machine:
curl -o /etc/pacman.d/puppetlabs-aur.db.tar.gz -L https://download.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-aur/puppetlabs.pacman.db.tar.gz
Next, we'll add the Puppet signing keys to our Arch Linux machine. Run the following command:
sudo pacman-key --add /etc/pacman.d/puppetlabs-aur.db.tar.gz
sudo pacman-key --finger 26D95A958529A3A2
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 26D95A958529A3A2
Now that we've added the Puppet repository to our Arch Linux machine, we can now proceed to install Bolt using the following command:
sudo pacman -S bolt
That's it! We've successfully installed Bolt on Arch Linux.
To verify that Bolt is installed on our machine, we can run the following command:
bolt --version
This should output the version of Bolt that we've installed.
In this tutorial, we went through the steps required to install Bolt on Arch Linux. With Bolt now installed, you can take advantage of its powerful features for managing remote infrastructure.
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!
