MyPaas is a self-hosted PaaS (Platform as a Service) built on top of Docker and Kubernetes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of MyPaas on the latest version of Elementary OS.
Before moving forward with the installation, ensure that the following prerequisites are satisfied:
To install Docker and kubectl in Elementary OS, run the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install docker.io kubectl
Clone the MyPaas repository to your local system using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/almarklein/mypaas.git
Navigate to the MyPaas directory using the terminal:
$ cd mypaas
In this directory, create a new copy of the .env.example file, modify its contents and save it as ".env":
$ cp .env.example .env
Update the values in the .env file based on your desired settings for memory, CPU, network settings etc.
To deploy and install MyPaas, run the following command in the terminal:
$ make install
This command will download all the required dependencies, build the Docker images, create the Kubernetes objects and deploy the MyPaas platform on your system.
Once the installation process is complete, you can navigate to the MyPaas dashboard by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MyPaas on your Elementary OS. You can now enjoy deploying and managing your applications on your self-hosted platform.
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!
