OpenZiti is an open source alternative to traditional VPNs that allows for secure, zero-trust connectivity between users and applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenZiti on Manjaro.
The first step in installing OpenZiti on Manjaro is to ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S libuv llvm cmake protobuf openssl
Press enter and the system will prompt you to enter your password. After entering your password, the packages will be installed.
Next, you will need to download and extract the OpenZiti source code. Open another terminal window and enter the following command:
wget https://github.com/openziti/desktop-edge-win-linux-mac/archive/refs/tags/v21.6.0.tar.gz
This command will download the OpenZiti source code as a compressed tar file. Once the download is complete, extract the files by entering the following command:
tar zxfv v21.6.0.tar.gz
Now that you have the OpenZiti source code downloaded and extracted, you can build the application. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the files (use the cd command to change directories). Once you are in the correct directory, enter the following commands:
cd desktop-edge-win-linux-mac-21.6.0/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
This process will build the OpenZiti application and install it on your system.
To test that OpenZiti is installed correctly, enter the following command in a terminal window:
ziti version
This command should output the current version of OpenZiti.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenZiti on Manjaro! You can now use OpenZiti to create secure, zero-trust connections between users and applications.
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!
