Outline Server is a self-hosted VPN that allows you to create your own VPN service to access the internet securely and privately. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Outline Server on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Before you proceed with this tutorial, you will need the following:
Before starting, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version. To do that, run the below command:
sudo rpm-ostree update
Outline Server is run using Docker, so we will need to install Docker on our Fedora CoreOS system. To install Docker, issue the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install docker
At this point, you are now ready to install Outline Server. Issue the following command to download and install the server:
sudo docker run -d --name=outline-manager \
-p 3001:3001 -p 3002:3002 \
-v ~/outline:/root/.outline \
--restart always \
outline/shadowbox
Here is what the above command does:
sudo docker run – run a Docker container-d – run the container in detached mode--name=outline-manager – specifies the name of the container-p 3001:3001 -p 3002:3002 – maps the ports used by Outline Server-v ~/outline:/root/.outline – maps the storage for the container--restart always – automatically start the container on system bootoutline/shadowbox – the name of the Docker imageThat's it! You now have the Outline Server set up on your Fedora CoreOS latest machine. You can now connect to the web interface of the Outline Server by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://<your-server-ip>:3000
In this tutorial, we explained how to set up Outline Server on Fedora CoreOS. Now, you can use your self-hosted Outline Server to securely connect to the internet privately.
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!
