Nebula is a scalable, and a secure networking software developed by Slack Technologies. It can be used to create overlay networks that are resilient to failures and fast in response time. This tutorial will guide you through the steps for installing Nebula on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Arch Linux system:
Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the Nebula repository:
git clone https://github.com/slackhq/nebula.git
Navigate to the cloned repository by running the following command:
cd nebula
Then, install the dependencies required for building Nebula by running the following command:
make deps
Once the dependencies are installed, build Nebula by running the following command:
make
This command will take a few minutes to complete as it compiles the Nebula binary.
After Nebula is built successfully, install it by running the following command as root:
sudo make install
This command will install the Nebula binary onto your system.
To verify that Nebula is installed correctly, run the following command to display the version information:
nebula --version
If Nebula is installed correctly, it should display the version information.
You have successfully installed Nebula on your Arch Linux system. You can now start using Nebula to create and manage overlay networks.
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!
