In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Nebula on FreeBSD Latest. Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool that works by routing packets based on cryptographic identity instead of IP addresses. It allows you to securely connect computers, containers, and virtual machines across the internet or private networks.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Nebula, you need to ensure that your server has all the necessary dependencies. Use the following commands to update the package manager and install the required packages:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install git openssl cmake make
Next, you need to download the latest version of Nebula from the GitHub repository. Use the following command to clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/slackhq/nebula.git
Once you have downloaded the Nebula repository, navigate to the cloned directory using the following command:
cd nebula
Next, create a new build directory and navigate to it using the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
After that, use the cmake command to configure the Nebula build process:
cmake .. -DUSE_STATIC_LIBCRYPTO=true -DUSE_SYS_LIBS=true
Finally, run the make command to build and install Nebula:
make
sudo make install
Now that you have installed Nebula, you need to configure it according to your requirements. Nebula uses a YAML format configuration file to define its settings. You can create a new configuration file or modify the sample configuration file provided in the Nebula repository. Use your preferred text editor to open the configuration file:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nebula/config.yml
Update the configuration settings according to your requirements, and save the file.
Once you have configured Nebula, you can start it using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/bin/nebula -config /usr/local/etc/nebula/config.yml
You should see Nebula start and log messages indicating that it is running.
Congratulations! You have installed and configured Nebula on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Nebula to securely connect computers, containers, and virtual machines across the internet or private networks.
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!
