Sandstorm is a platform for self-hosting web apps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Sandstorm on the latest version of Pop!_OS.
Before we begin the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Sandstorm on Pop!_OS:
Open your terminal and run the following command to add the Sandstorm GPG key:
wget -qO- https://dl.sandstorm.io/ubuntu-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Next, add the Sandstorm repository by running the following command:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.sandstorm.io/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sandstorm.list
Once the key and repository have been added, update your package manager to ensure that all dependencies are up to date:
sudo apt-get update
Finally, run the command below to install Sandstorm:
sudo apt-get install sandstorm
After the installation process is complete, start Sandstorm by running this command:
sudo systemctl start sandstorm
Sandstorm will now be accessible through your browser at http://localhost:6080. You can use the command sudo systemctl status sandstorm to check the status of the service.
Sandstorm is now successfully installed on Pop!_OS! You can now self-host various web apps using the platform.
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!
