CapRover is a open source platform as a service (PaaS) that allows you to easily deploy your web applications. It is a great alternative to services like Heroku or DigitalOcean because CapRover can run on your own hardware. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CapRover on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before starting, you must have the following:
Open up a terminal window on your POP! OS server and run the following command to download CapRover's installation script:
curl -sSL https://caprover.com/install | sudo bash
This command will download the CapRover installation script and run it with superuser privileges.
Once you have downloaded the installation script, it will take some time for CapRover to install. Just sit back and wait for the installation to finish.
After installation, CapRover will start running on your server. You can visit your server's IP address in your web browser to check if CapRover is running. You should see the CapRover dashboard.
CapRover is now up and running on your server. However, it is important to secure CapRover with SSL (HTTPS) to ensure that all communication between your web applications and the CapRover server is encrypted.
CapRover includes an automated SSL feature that allows you to easily generate an SSL certificate for your CapRover server. To enable SSL, simply click on the "Settings" icon in the CapRover dashboard and select "SSL Settings". Then click on "Generate SSL Certificate" to generate a certificate for your domain name.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CapRover on POP! OS Latest. Now you can start deploying your web applications on CapRover.
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!
