Trusted-CGI is a tool that provides a secure environment for running CGI scripts. It is available on GitHub, and this tutorial will guide you through the installation process on Arch Linux.
To begin, ensure that all system dependencies are installed. Open the terminal and run the command:
sudo pacman -S openssl libssh
This will install OpenSSL and libssh libraries, which are required to run Trusted-CGI.
Trusted-CGI is written in Go language, so you will need to install it on your system. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S go
This will install the Go language compiler and tools.
You can install Trusted-CGI from the GitHub repository. Clone the repository to your local machine using the command:
git clone https://github.com/reddec/trusted-cgi.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the downloaded folder using:
cd trusted-cgi
And finally, build and install the program using the following command:
go install ./cmd/trusted-cgi
If the installation is successful, you will see no output in the terminal.
To start the Trusted-CGI service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start trusted-cgi.service
To make sure the service is running correctly, you can check its status by running:
sudo systemctl status trusted-cgi.service
If the service is running, the output will show that it is active and running.
Trusted-CGI is an essential tool for running CGI scripts securely. With this guide, you can install and run Trusted-CGI on Arch Linux.
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!
