AsmBB is a lightweight and fast forum software designed for developers who are interested in assembly programming. It's easy to install and doesn't require any configuration files or databases. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of AsmBB on your POP! OS.
Before installing AsmBB, you need to make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
To install these packages on your POP! OS, you can run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 php git
To install AsmBB, you need to clone the AsmBB repository from GitHub using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/asm32info/asm32.info-board.git /var/www/html/asm32.info-board
This command will clone the AsmBB repository to the /var/www/html/asm32.info-board directory on your system.
After cloning the AsmBB repository, you need to configure Apache web server to serve AsmBB files.
First, create a new virtual host configuration file for AsmBB using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/asm32.info-board.conf
Then, paste the following configuration in the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/asm32.info-board
<Directory /var/www/html/asm32.info-board/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/asm32.info-board_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/asm32.info-board_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name or IP address.
After saving the file, you need to enable the new virtual host configuration using the following command:
sudo a2ensite asm32.info-board.conf
Then, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To install AsmBB, open your web browser and navigate to your domain name or IP address.

Follow the installation instructions on the page to install AsmBB on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed AsmBB on your POP! OS system. Now you can start using AsmBB to create a forum for developers who are interested in assembly programming.
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!
