Juju is an open-source modeling tool that enables you to deploy, manage, and scale applications on various clouds with ease. It is a core component of the Canonical Charmed Operators system used in cloud computing environments. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Juju on Kali Linux Latest.
Open the terminal on your Kali Linux and update the system package repository:
sudo apt-get update
Once the update operation is complete, upgrade Kali Linux to its latest version by running:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Snapd is a package manager tool used in the installation of Juju. To install it, run the command:
sudo apt-get install snapd
Let the installation process complete.
To install Juju, use the following command:
sudo snap install juju --classic
The installation process may take some time, depending on your internet speed.
After installing Juju, initialize the Juju environment by running the following command:
juju init
This process creates a new Juju environment, which is the place where Juju deploys the applications. After this command is executed, you will see a directory named .juju in your home directory.
To connect Juju to a cloud, you need to obtain a cloud credential that enables you to access a particular cloud. You can use public clouds such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, among others.
For example, to connect to an AWS cloud, run the following command:
juju add-credential aws
Follow the prompts to authenticate access to your AWS cloud. Once authentication is complete, use the following command to view the available cloud regions:
juju regions aws
You can now deploy an application to the cloud using the Juju charm.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Juju on Kali Linux Latest, initialized the Juju environment, and connected to a cloud. You can now manage and deploy applications using Juju.
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!
