OPSI is a software distribution and management tool used by system administrators to automate the installation and updating of computers that run on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
Here is a step-by-step guide to installing OPSI on the latest version of Debian:
Before starting the installation, update your system by opening the Terminal and running:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
You can download the OPSI repository from the official website – https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/
wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/Debian_11/amd64/opsi_4.1.1-6_amd64.deb
wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/Debian_11/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/Debian_11/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opsi.list
Once you’ve downloaded and added the OPSI repository to your system, you can proceed to install OPSI:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install opsi
After the installation is complete, proceed to configure OPSI by using the opsi-setup
command:
sudo opsi-setup --auto-setup
This command will launch the setup wizard for OPSI, which will guide you through the configuration process.
Once the setup is complete, you can log in to OPSI using the following URL: http://localhost/opsi
You can use the default login credentials:
root
opsi
That's it! You’ve successfully installed OPSI on Debian!
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!
