Sandstorm is a platform for building and running web applications privately and securely. It allows you to host your own apps and services in the cloud, while keeping full control and ownership of your data. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Sandstorm on Linux Mint.
Before you begin, you will need:
To update your system, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Before installing Sandstorm, you need to install some system dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install curl gnupg -y
To fetch Sandstorm packages, you need to add the Sandstorm GPG key. Run the following command:
curl https://install.sandstorm.io/dev/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Next, you need to add the Sandstorm APT repository to your system. Run the following command:
echo "deb http://repo.sandstorm.io/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sandstorm.list
Finally, run the following command to install Sandstorm:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install sandstorm -y
Once the installation is complete, start the Sandstorm service by running:
sudo systemctl start sandstorm
You can also enable the Sandstorm service to start at boot time by running:
sudo systemctl enable sandstorm
Sandstorm is now installed and running on your system. You can access the Sandstorm web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:6080.
You will be prompted to create an administrative account and set up Sandstorm.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sandstorm on Linux Mint. You can now host and run your own web applications securely and 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!
