HomelabOS is a collection of Ansible scripts that will allow you to quickly set up an entire home server with a range of different features. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install HomelabOS on Clear Linux Latest.
To get started, you need to install Git on your Clear Linux machine. Git is already installed on Clear Linux, but you can update it with the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
Next, you need to clone the HomelabOS repository to your local machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/homelab-os/homelab-os.git
This will create a new directory called homelab-os in your current working directory.
Once the repository has been successfully cloned, you can install HomelabOS by running the following command:
cd homelab-os/
sudo ./install.sh
The installation process may take a while to complete as it installs various services and dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you can start using HomelabOS.
To access HomelabOS dashboard, open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/homelabos (replace your-server-ip with the IP address of the Clear Linux machine where HomelabOS is installed). You will be prompted to enter your username and password. The default username is admin and the default password is password.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install HomelabOS on Clear Linux Latest. Once you have HomelabOS installed, you will have access to various services such as Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Gitea, and many more. You can then configure and customize your server as per your needs.
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!
