OpenNode is an open-source virtualization platform that can help you build, deploy, and manage virtual machines. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenNode on Ubuntu Server.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you have root access to your Ubuntu server and are using the latest version.
Before installing OpenNode, it is important to ensure that your Ubuntu server is up to date.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install OpenNode, you need to install the following packages:
Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip -y
OpenNode can be installed using pip. Run the following command to install OpenNode:
sudo pip3 install opennode
OpenNode requires a configuration file to run properly. Create the configuration file at /etc/opennode.conf.
sudo nano /etc/opennode.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
[opennode]
debug = False
port = 8000
certificate_path = /etc/opennode/ssl/certs/server.crt
private_key_path = /etc/opennode/ssl/private/server.key
Save and exit the file.
Run the following command to start the OpenNode service:
sudo opennode start
To verify that OpenNode is running, run the following command:
sudo opennode status
If everything is working properly, you should see a message indicating that OpenNode is running.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install OpenNode on Ubuntu Server. You also learned how to configure and start the OpenNode service. Now that you have OpenNode installed, you can start creating and managing virtual machines.
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!
