Redbird is a reverse proxy server for Node.js, meaning it forwards incoming traffic to the correct Node.js application based on the requested URL. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Redbird on your Elementary OS Latest machine using Node.js.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Open your terminal and navigate to your desired installation directory.
Clone the Redbird repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/OptimalBits/redbird.git
Next, navigate to the Redbird directory using the following command:
cd redbird
Install the required dependencies using the following command:
npm install
Redbird is now installed on your machine! You can start using it by creating your own Node.js application and integrating it with Redbird.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Redbird on your Elementary OS Latest machine using Node.js. Now that it's installed, you can start using Redbird as a reverse proxy server to efficiently route incoming traffic to your desired Node.js application.
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!
