In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of OpenShift on Debian Latest.
Before we begin the installation process, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to make sure that all the required packages are installed on our system.
Open up the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This will update the package list on your system.
Now, we can install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install epel-release wget git nc docker rsync
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to start the Docker service:
sudo systemctl start docker
To ensure that Docker starts on boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Next, we need to download and install OpenShift.
To do this, we need to download the OpenShift installer by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases/download/v3.11.0/openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive by running the following command:
tar xvf openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit.tar.gz
This will extract the files to a new directory called openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit/.
Now, we need to move the extracted oc binary to a location that is in our system's PATH.
Run the following command to move the oc binary to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo mv ./openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-linux-64bit/oc /usr/local/bin/
To start OpenShift, first, we need to create an OpenShift cluster.
Run the following command to create an OpenShift cluster:
oc cluster up
This will take a few minutes to create the cluster. Once the cluster is created, you can access the OpenShift web console by opening a web browser and navigating to https://127.0.0.1:8443/console/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenShift on Debian Latest. You can now use OpenShift to host and manage your applications.

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!
