LibreServer is a platform that allows users to self-host and run web applications easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LibreServer on Manjaro.
First, it is recommended to update your Manjaro system to its latest version including all packages and dependencies, using this command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, install some necessary dependencies needed to install LibreServer using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git docker docker-compose
Now, clone the LibreServer repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/libreserver/docker-compose.git
Navigate to the directory using this command:
cd docker-compose
Add your user to the Docker user group using the following command:
sudo usermod -a -G docker $(whoami)
Start the Docker service using this command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Additionally, enable the Docker service to run on system startup using this command:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Finally, launch LibreServer using the following command:
sudo docker-compose up
It may take a couple of minutes for the server and all its components to start up successfully.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LibreServer on your Manjaro operating system. You can now open your preferred browser, navigate to http://localhost/, and use the platform.
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!
