How to Install ShellHub on Debian Latest

ShellHub is a modern and secure gateway for accessing remote servers using SSH. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ShellHub on Debian latest version.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you will need:

Step 1: Update Your Debian System

Before installing any new package, it’s advisable to update your Debian system to the latest stable version.

To update your Debian system, run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Docker

ShellHub needs Docker to run. If you don't have Docker installed on your system, you can install it using the following commands:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install docker.io

Once Docker is installed, start it and enable it to start after boot:

sudo systemctl start docker

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 3: Install ShellHub

To install ShellHub, follow these steps:

  1. Pull the ShellHub image from Docker Hub by running the following command:

    sudo docker pull shellhub/shellhub:latest
    
  2. Create a directory for ShellHub data:

    sudo mkdir /var/lib/shellhub
    
  3. Run the ShellHub container:

    sudo docker run -d --name=shellhub -p 2222:2222 -v /var/lib/shellhub:/data shellhub/shellhub:latest
    

    This command will start the ShellHub container, bind port 2222 to the container, and mount the /var/lib/shellhub directory as a data volume.

  4. Verify that the container is running correctly:

    sudo docker ps -a
    

    This command should display a list of running containers, including ShellHub.

  5. Access the ShellHub web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<server-ip>:3080.

That's it! You have successfully installed ShellHub on Debian latest version.
