In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing OpenDS, which is an open-source directory service for managing enterprise directory data, on the latest version of Debian.
Before we begin, make sure that you have access to a Debian machine with sudo access.
Since OpenDS is a Java-based application, we need to install Java on our machine. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install default-jdk
This command will update the package information and install the default JDK package.
Next, download the latest version of OpenDS from the official website:
wget https://github.com/OpenRock/OpenDJ/releases/download/4.0.0/OpenDJ-4.0.0.zip
Once the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file:
unzip OpenDJ-4.0.0.zip
To start OpenDS, navigate to the OpenDS installation directory and run the following command:
./bin/start-ds
This will start the OpenDS server. You can access the OpenDS control panel by navigating to http://localhost:8989/admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenDS on Debian Latest. You can now use it to manage directory data for your organization.

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!
