Nebula is a free, open-source software-defined networking (SDN) tool that can help you set up secure and scalable network connectivity between hosts, virtual machines, and cloud instances.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Nebula on Debian Latest.
Before you begin, you need:
A Debian Latest system with root access.
Basic knowledge of the command-line interface.
Nebula requires some dependencies to be installed on your system before it can be compiled.
To install the required dependencies, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git make gcc g++ openssl libssl-dev ca-certificates
Next, you need to clone the Nebula repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/slackhq/nebula.git
cd nebula
Once you have cloned the repository, you can compile Nebula by running the following commands:
make
sudo make install
This will compile and install Nebula on your system.
After installation, you need to configure Nebula. You can do this by creating a configuration file named config.yml in the Nebula directory:
sudo nano config.yml
Here is an example configuration file:
pki:
ca: /etc/nebula/ca.crt
cert: /etc/nebula/host.crt
key: /etc/nebula/host.key
lighthouse:
am_lighthouse: true
static_host_map:
host:
- 10.1.1.2
tun:
dev: nebula1
mtu: 1300
routes:
- 0.0.0.0/0
listen:
host: 172.16.0.1
port: 4242
Make sure to replace the IP addresses and certificate paths with your own values.
Once you have configured Nebula, you can start it by running the following command:
sudo nebula -config /path/to/config.yml
Replace /path/to/config.yml with the path to your configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nebula on a Debian Latest system. You can now go ahead and use Nebula to set up secure and scalable network connectivity between your hosts.
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!
