Outline Server is an open-source virtual private network (VPN) server that allows users to create safe and secure VPN connections to access the internet. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Outline Server on MXLinux Latest.
You will need the following:
Before we start the installation of Outline Server, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal window and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl wget
Press Enter and wait for the installation to complete.
Next, we need to download the Outline install script. Run the following command in the terminal window:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-server/master/src/server_manager/install_scripts/install_server.sh | bash
This will download the latest version of the Outline install script from GitHub and run it.
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure the Outline Server. To do this, run the following command:
sudo outline-server init
You will be prompted to enter an Access Key. This key will be used to authenticate your computers and devices to your Outline Server. Keep the key safe as you will need it later on.
Now that the Outline Server is installed and configured, we can launch it. Run the following command in the terminal window:
sudo systemctl start outline-server
You can verify that the server is running by typing the following command:
sudo systemctl status outline-server
If the server is running, you should see a message that says "active (running)".
Finally, we need to add users and devices to our Outline Server. To do this, we can use the Outline Manager tool, which is a web-based interface that allows you to manage your Outline Server. To access the Outline Manager, open your web browser and go to https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8081/manager (replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with the IP address of your server).
You will be prompted to enter the Access Key that you created in Step 3. Once you have entered the key, you will be taken to the Outline Manager Dashboard, where you can add users and devices.
