Wirow is an open-source, multi-client remote access server that allows you to remotely connect to different devices securely. Installing Wirow on Clear Linux Latest is an easy and straightforward process. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wirow step-by-step.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Before installing Wirow, you need to install the dependencies required by the Wirow server. To do so, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-ncurses
This command will install the OpenSSL and ncurses development packages that are essential for running the Wirow server.
In this step, you need to clone the Wirow repository from GitHub using Git. To do so, execute the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/wirow-io/wirow-server.git
This command will clone the Wirow repository to your system.
Now, navigate to the cloned Wirow repository directory using the following command:
cd wirow-server
In this directory, you will find the configure script that you need to execute to configure the Wirow installation. To configure Wirow, run the following command:
./configure
After the configuration process is complete, you need to compile and install the Wirow server. To do so, execute the following commands one by one:
make
sudo make install
This will compile and install the Wirow server on your Clear Linux Latest system.
After installing Wirow, you need to configure it to work with your system. To do so, you need to create a configuration file for Wirow.
To create the configuration file, navigate to the /etc directory using the following command:
cd /etc
Then, create a new directory for Wirow configuration files using the following command:
sudo mkdir wirow
Now, create a new file using the following command and add the configuration details:
sudo nano wirow.config
In the configuration file, you can set various options like the port number, the authentication mode, the encryption mode, etc. Once you are done with the configuration, save and close the file.
After configuring Wirow, you need to start the Wirow server. To start the Wirow server, execute the following command in your terminal:
sudo wirowd start
This will start the Wirow server, and you can access it from any device using the Wirow client.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Wirow from the GitHub repository on Clear Linux Latest. You also learned how to configure and start the Wirow server. Now, you can remotely connect to different devices securely using Wirow.
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!
