YunoHost is an open-source server operating system based on Debian. It provides a web interface for managing your server, installing apps, and configuring services. In this tutorial, we will be installing YunoHost on the latest version of Linux Mint.
Before installing any new software it's recommended to update your system to the latest version. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command updates your package list and upgrades the existing packages.
YunoHost requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -y ca-certificates bash wget curl gnupg
Now we will add YunoHost repository to our system by running the following command:
wget -O - https://repo.yunohost.org/yunohost.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://repo.yunohost.org/debian/ buster stable' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yunohost.list
This command downloads the GPG key and adds the YunoHost repository to the sources list.
After adding the YunoHost repository, we can now install YunoHost by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install yunohost -y
This command will install YunoHost on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you need to set a domain name for your server.
To do so, run the following command:
sudo yunohost domain add example.com
Replace "example.com" with your actual domain name. You will then be prompted to set up the DNS records for your domain.
Finally, open your web browser and enter your server's IP address or domain name to access the YunoHost web interface.
In this tutorial, we've gone through the process of installing YunoHost on Linux Mint. After completing the installation, you should have access to a powerful server operating system with a user-friendly web interface for managing your server.
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!
