Algernon is a web server and proxy software that requires minimal configuration and is easy to use. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps for installing Algernon on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before beginning the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following:
To ensure that all system packages are up to date, you need to update the system packages by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install Algernon, you need to download the latest version from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/xyproto/algernon/releases/download/1.12/algernon-1.12-linux-amd64.tar.gz
After downloading, extract the files from the .tar.gz archive using the following command:
tar -xvzf algernon-1.12-linux-amd64.tar.gz
This will extract all the files to a directory called algernon in the current working directory.
By default, Algernon listens on port 3000. If you need to change this port, you can do so by editing the config file located in the algernon directory. You can open the file using the following command:
nano algernon/config
You can change the port number by modifying the following line:
[server]
addr=":3000"
Once you have made the necessary changes, save and exit the file by pressing ctrl+x, followed by y, then enter.
To start Algernon, navigate to the algernon directory and run the following command:
./algernon
This will start the Algernon server on the port specified in the config file.
That's it! You have successfully installed Algernon on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use Algernon to serve webpages and proxy requests as needed.
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!
