OpenNode is an open-source virtualization platform that allows users to create and manage virtual machines. It is built on top of several other open-source technologies, including Linux and KVM, and supports a wide range of guest operating systems. In this tutorial, we will cover how to install OpenNode on the latest version of EndeavourOS.
Before we begin, you will need:
Before we proceed with the installation of OpenNode, we need to ensure that our system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syyu
This command will update your system's package list and upgrade any outdated packages.
OpenNode requires several dependencies to be installed on your system before installation can proceed. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git ansible python python-pip python-psycopg2
The above command will install the required dependencies (Ansible, Python, Git, and PostgreSQL).
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed to install OpenNode. Execute the following commands one by one:
git clone https://github.com/opennode/opennode-deploy.git
cd opennode-deploy/
ansible-playbook opennode.yml --extra-vars="opennode_server_mode=true ansible_user=root ansible_become=true"
The first command will clone the OpenNode Git repository into your system, while the second command will execute the Ansible playbook that installs OpenNode. This process may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection.
After the installation is complete, we can verify that OpenNode is running and operational. For this, you can open your web browser and enter your server's IP address followed by port 8000, for example, http://192.168.1.1:8000. Here, 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of your EndeavourOS machine. You should see the OpenNode login page, where you can log in with the default credentials (username: admin and password: admin).
We hope this tutorial was helpful and you were able to successfully install and configure OpenNode on the latest version of EndeavourOS. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below.
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!
