FLAP is a cloud-based platform that allows you to run your applications in the cloud without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing FLAP on an Ubuntu Server.
Before starting, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install the dependencies required to run FLAP. To start, execute the following command on the terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y curl iptables-persistent jq
After installing the dependencies, we can now download and install FLAP itself. Execute the following command on the terminal:
$ curl -o flapctl -L https://get.flap.cloud/release/latest/flapctl-linux64
$ chmod +x flapctl
$ sudo mv flapctl /usr/local/bin/
This will download the latest version of FLAP and save it as flapctl. We then change the file permissions to make it executable, and move it to the /usr/local/bin/ directory for global access.
To verify that the installation was successful, run the following command:
$ flapctl --version
This will display the version of FLAP installed on your system. If it displays the correct version, FLAP is now installed on your Ubuntu Server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install FLAP on an Ubuntu Server. You can now use FLAP to deploy and manage applications in the cloud. If you encounter any issues during the installation, refer to the official FLAP documentation or contact their support team for assistance.
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!
