Octopussy is an open-source software for monitoring and managing servers, network devices, and applications. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Octopussy on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before you start, make sure you have the following requirements:
Octopussy requires several dependencies to be installed on your Fedora CoreOS instance. To install these dependencies, run the following command as root:
dnf install -y ansible ansible-lint git
Now, clone the official Octopussy repository using the Git command:
git clone https://github.com/octopussy/ansible.git octopussy-ansible
Navigate to the octopussy-ansible directory, and edit the inventory file:
cd octopussy-ansible
nano inventory
In this file, you need to set the IP address or hostname of your server, as well as the SSH key to use for the connection.
[octopussy]
your_server_ip_address_or_hostname ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/path/to/ssh/key.pem
Save the file and exit.
Now that everything is set up, you can start the installation process using the following command:
ansible-playbook -i inventory deploy.yml
This command will run the deploy.yml playbook, which automatically installs and configures Octopussy on your server.
Once the installation process is complete, you can access the Octopussy web interface by navigating to http://<your_server_ip_address_or_hostname>/octopussy. You can log in using the default credentials:

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!
