Teleport is an open-source tool for securely accessing and managing servers and clusters remotely. Installing Teleport on Manjaro is a straightforward process, and this tutorial will guide you through the steps.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Teleport is written in Go programming language, so you need to install Go on your system to compile and install it. To install Go, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S go
This will install the latest version of Go on your Manjaro system.
Now that Go is installed on your system, you can download and install Teleport. Follow the next steps to complete the installation process.
To download Teleport, run the following command:
go get github.com/gravitational/teleport
This command will download the latest version of Teleport from the Github repository.
Once Teleport is downloaded, navigate to the Teleport folder and compile it using the following commands:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gravitational/teleport
make full
This process will take some time as it compiles all Teleport components.
After the above command finishes executing, install Teleport on your system by running:
sudo make install
This will install Teleport on your system.
Teleport requires some configuration before it can be used. Start by creating a directory to store Teleport configuration files:
sudo mkdir /etc/teleport
Next, copy the sample configuration file to the new directory:
sudo cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/gravitational/teleport/examples/teleport.yaml /etc/teleport
You can now edit the configuration file using your favorite editor to customize it to your needs:
sudo nano /etc/teleport/teleport.yaml
With Teleport installed and configured, you can start the Teleport service by running:
sudo systemctl start teleport
To ensure that the service starts automatically at boot time, enable it using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable teleport
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Teleport on Manjaro. You can now use Teleport to securely access and manage your servers and clusters remotely.
