Void is a software package from https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void that allows users to easily monitor and control their servers. Here's a tutorial on how to install Void on Debian Latest using the command line.
Before you start installing any new software, it's important to update your system first. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update your system with the latest packages and dependencies.
Void requires certain dependencies to be installed before it can run. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev
This command will prompt you for confirmation before installing dependencies. Type 'y' and hit enter to continue.
Clone the Void repository from GitHub with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void.git
This will create a new directory named 'Void' in your current working directory and download all the necessary files.
Change to the 'Void' directory and use the following commands to build and install Void:
cd Void
sudo make install
This step may take several minutes to complete, depending on the speed of your computer.
Once Void is installed, you need to configure it. Use the following command to generate a sample configuration file:
sudo void_create_config
This will create a new configuration file named 'void.cfg' in the '/usr/local/etc/void/' directory. Edit it with your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/void/void.cfg
This file contains all the settings and options for Void, such as the port number, username, and password. You can configure it to your preferences.
Finally, start Void with the following command:
sudo void -c /usr/local/etc/void/void.cfg
This will start the Void service and you can now access it from your web browser by visiting 'http://localhost:8080'.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Void on Debian Latest!
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!
