In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Nefarious on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Nefarious is an open-source platform that allows you to create and manage your own VPN server. It is a fork of the Algo VPN project and is primarily designed to run on cloud-based servers.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Nefarious. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:
$ sudo dnf install -y epel-release
$ sudo dnf install -y git ansible python3-passlib
Once installed, you can confirm that Ansible is correctly installed by running the "ansible --version" command in the terminal.
Next, you need to clone the Nefarious repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/lardbit/nefarious.git
This will download the Nefarious repository to the current directory. To navigate into the Nefarious directory, run the following command:
$ cd nefarious
Before you can use Nefarious, you need to configure it. To do this, run the following command:
$ cp config-example.yml config.yml
This will create a copy of the example configuration file "config-example.yml" and name it "config.yml". You can open the "config.yml" file in your text editor and edit the configuration as per your requirements.
Note: Make sure to use a secure password and generate a strong WireGuard private key.
Once you have configured Nefarious, you can install it using Ansible. Run the following command:
$ sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini setup.yml
This will start the installation process. The installation process may take several minutes, depending on your system's specifications.
Once the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating that installation was successful.
To verify that Nefarious is correctly installed, you can run the following command:
$ sudo nefarious --status
This will display the Nefarious server's status, including the VPN server's IP address and the number of clients connected.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Nefarious on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now connect to the VPN server and start using the secure network. If you face any issues during the installation process or while using Nefarious, please refer to the official Nefarious documentation or reach out to the Nefarious community for support.
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!
