CloudSlang is an open-source orchestration language for automating cloud infrastructure, applications, and network services. Unlike traditional script-based automation, CloudSlang provides a simpler, more intuitive way of describing and running complex workflows.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CloudSlang on an Ubuntu Server. We assume that you have already configured your server and have administrative access to it.
Here are the steps you should follow:
CloudSlang requires Java 8 or newer. To check whether Java is installed on your system, run the command:
java -version
If Java is already installed, you will see the version information. Otherwise, you need to install it by running the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre
CloudSlang provides Debian packages that simplify the installation process. To download the packages, go to the CloudSlang downloads page and find the latest version for your operating system.
wget https://github.com/CloudSlang/cloud-slang/releases/download/cloudslang-1.0.31/cloudslang_1.0.31_all.deb
Once the package is downloaded, install it by running:
sudo dpkg -i cloudslang_1.0.31_all.deb
This will install CloudSlang and its dependencies.
To verify that CloudSlang is installed correctly, run the following command:
cslang status
You should see the following output:
Syntax: status(), Description: Prints out the status of the CloudSlang server.
CloudSlang is running.
This means that CloudSlang is running on your system.
To start CloudSlang, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start cloudslang
To stop CloudSlang, run:
sudo systemctl stop cloudslang
You have successfully installed CloudSlang on your Ubuntu Server. You can now use it to automate your cloud infrastructure, applications, and network services. For more information on how to use CloudSlang, consult the official documentation.
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!
