Before installing Fossil, it is recommended that you update your system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install Fossil on your Debian Latest system, run the following command:
sudo apt install fossil
This will install Fossil and all its dependencies.
To verify that Fossil has been installed correctly, run the following command:
fossil version
This should output the version of Fossil that has been installed on your system.
To create a new Fossil repository, run the following command:

This will create a new repository named "myproject.fossil". You can replace "myproject" with the name of your project.
To initialize the new repository, run the following command:

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!
