Installing Outline Server on OpenSUSE Latest

Outline Server is a free and open-source VPN software that you can use to set up your own VPN server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Outline Server on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Docker

Outline Server is a Docker container that can be run on any platform that supports Docker. Therefore, the first step is to install Docker on your server.

1. Log in to your server as a non-root user with sudo privileges.

2. Update the package index and install Docker by running the following commands:

   sudo zypper refresh
   sudo zypper install docker
   

3. Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running:

   sudo systemctl start docker
   

Step 2: Install Outline Server

Now that Docker is installed, we can proceed with installing Outline Server.

1. Run the following command to download and start the Outline Server Docker container:

   sudo docker run -d --restart always --name outline-ss-server -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 -p 2406:2406 -v /opt/outline:/opt/outline -e SERVER_PUBLIC_IP=<server_public_ip> outline/shadowbox
   

   Note: Replace <server_public_ip> with the public IP of your server.

2. Wait for the Docker container to start. You can check the status of the container by running the following command:

   sudo docker ps
   

   The output should display information about the Outline Server container.

Step 3: Connect to the Outline Server

Once the Outline Server is up and running, you can connect to it using the Outline Manager application. You can download the Outline Manager for your platform from the Outline website.

2. Enter the IP address of your server and click the "Get Access Key" button.

3. Enter a name for your server and click the "Add Server" button.

4. Connect to the server by clicking the "Connect" button.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and connected to the Outline Server on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now access the Internet securely through your own VPN connection.
