YunoHost is a server operating system designed to make self-hosting accessible to everyone. It comes with a pre-installed app catalog and provides easy-to-use web interface for managing the server and installed apps. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install YunoHost on Arch Linux.
Before installing YunoHost, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
To ensure that your Arch Linux is up to date, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command updates all the installed packages on your system to their latest versions.
YunoHost provides a preconfigured package repository that contains all the necessary packages required to install and run the server. To add the YunoHost repository to your system, follow these steps:
/etc/pacman.conf
file in your favorite text editor:sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
[yunohost]
Server = https://yunohost.org/archlinux/$repo/$arch/
CTRL + X
, then Y
, and then ENTER
.To install YunoHost, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S yunohost
This command installs YunoHost and all the required dependencies on your system. It may take several minutes to complete depending on your internet speed.
Once the installation is complete, you must run the yunohost tools postinstall
command to configure YunoHost. This command sets up the domain name and other necessary settings for your server. Run the following command to start the post-installation process:
sudo yunohost tools postinstall
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the post-installation process.
After the post-installation is complete, you can access the YunoHost web interface by entering the following URL in your web browser:
https://<your-domain-name>/yunohost/admin
Replace <your-domain-name>
with the actual domain name you configured during the post-installation process.
You can now log in to the web interface with the username and password you provided during the post-installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed YunoHost on Arch Linux. You can now use the YunoHost web interface to manage your server and install apps from the app catalog.
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!
