In this tutorial, we will take you through the steps required to install CapsuleCD onto your Linux Mint Latest system. CapsuleCD is a useful tool that can help automate the process of creating custom installation images for infrastructure automation and provisioning.
CapsuleCD is built using the Ruby programming language which means we need to install Ruby and its dependencies first.
To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
Once installed, verify that Ruby is installed by running:
ruby --version
This will display the version of Ruby that has been installed on your system.
We are now ready to install CapsuleCD itself. CapsuleCD can be installed via gem, Ruby's package manager.
Run the following command to install CapsuleCD:
sudo gem install capsulecd
This will install the latest version of CapsuleCD onto your system.
Before CapsuleCD can be used, it needs to be configured properly.
To configure CapsuleCD, create a configuration file. You can do this by running the following command:
capsulecd configure
This will create a capsulecd.yaml file in your current directory.
Edit this file as per your requirements to define the sources and packages that CapsuleCD will use to create images.
Once configured, CapsuleCD can generate an image by running:
capsulecd generate
This will generate a custom image based on your configuration.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed CapsuleCD onto your Linux Mint Latest system and generated a custom image. Use this image to automate the process of infrastructure automation and provisioning.
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!
