YunoHost is a server operating system which makes it easy to self-host websites, cloud services, and other online applications. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing YunoHost on Elementary OS, the latest version.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following:
First, we will enable the Universe repository on your system. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
Enter your password when prompted and press Enter. This will add the Universe repository to your system.
Before we move on, we want to ensure that our system is up-to-date. To update your system, execute the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
This command fetches and installs all the recent package updates available for your system.
Once your system is up-to-date, we can install YunoHost. Execute the following commands one-by-one to install YunoHost on Elementary OS.
We need to install a few dependencies before we can install YunoHost. Execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl ca-certificates gnupg2
Next, we need to add the YunoHost repository key. Execute the following command:
curl https://repo.yunohost.org/yunohost.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/yunohost.gpg add -
Now, we need to add the YunoHost repository to our system. Execute the following command:
echo 'deb http://forge.yunohost.org/debian/ buster stable' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yunohost.list
Finally, we can install YunoHost. Execute the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yunohost
This command installs YunoHost on your system.
Now that YunoHost is installed on your system, we need to set it up. Execute the following command to set up YunoHost:
sudo yunohost tools postinstall
This command launches the YunoHost post-install process, which will prompt you to configure YunoHost. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
That's it! You have successfully installed YunoHost on your Elementary OS. You can now use YunoHost to self-host websites, cloud services, and other online applications on your server.
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!
