FreedomBox is a free software platform that lets you easily host your own services and protect your privacy online. In this tutorial, we'll look at how you can install FreedomBox on Debian Latest using the command line.
Before getting started, you'll need the following:
As always, it's a good idea to update your system before installing new software packages. Open up a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
This will fetch and install any available updates for your system.
Now that your system is up-to-date, we can proceed with installing FreedomBox. To get started, we need to add the FreedomBox repository to our sources list. Run the following commands to do so:
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://freedombox.debian.org/pub/freedombox/debian/ buster main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freedombox.list"
sudo apt-get update
Once the repository is added, we can install FreedomBox using the following command:
sudo apt-get install freedombox
This will automatically install all the necessary packages and dependencies for FreedomBox.
After installation, you can access FreedomBox's web interface by pointing your web browser to the IP address of your machine with port 80. For example, if your machine's IP address is 192.168.1.100, you can access the FreedomBox web interface by typing http://192.168.1.100 into your web browser.
From there, you can log in and begin using FreedomBox to host your own services and protect your privacy online.
That's it! With these simple steps, you can install FreedomBox on Debian Latest and start using it to host your own services and protect your privacy online.
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!
