CapRover is an open-source PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution that can help you run and deploy your web applications with ease. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CapRover on Manjaro Linux.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, open your terminal and download the latest CapRover files from the official website by running the following command:
$ curl -LO https://github.com/caprover/caprover/raw/master/docker-compose.arm64v8-caprover.yaml
Next, open the docker-compose.arm64v8-caprover.yaml file in your favorite text editor.
$ nano docker-compose.arm64v8-caprover.yaml
At the end of the file, change the password and email values to your preferred values:
environment:
- INITIAL_PW=<password>
- INITIAL_EMAIL=email=<email>
After you have configured CapRover, you can start it by running the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.arm64v8-caprover.yaml up -d
This command will start CapRover in the background and you can check the status of the CapRover container by running the following command:
$ sudo docker ps -a
You should see the CapRover container running in the list.
Now we have successfully installed CapRover, we can connect to CapRover with a web browser. By default, CapRover is running on port 80. You can access it by visiting http://localhost/.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install CapRover on Manjaro Linux. With CapRover, you can easily deploy your web applications on your own server without relying on third-party services.
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!
