PassWall is an open-source and easy-to-use proxy server application, which is designed to help you securely access the internet, and bypass any restricting firewalls, filters, and monitoring systems. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of PassWall Server on Ubuntu Server Latest using the following steps:
Before we get started, we need to make sure that our server meets some requirements:
Firstly, we need to ensure that our apt package manager is running the latest software by executing the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
To be able to implement PassWall Server, we need to install the following prerequisite packages:
Run the following command to download and install them:
sudo apt install curl git
PassWall Server runs on Docker, so we need to install Docker on our server. Run the following command to install Docker:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
Next, we need to install Docker Compose, which is a tool to define and run multi-container Docker applications. Run the following command to install Docker Compose:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.6/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
After installing Docker Compose, we need to make it executable by running:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
We need to clone the PassWall repository with Git into our server. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git
We need to create an .env file in the PassWall repository directory with the following command:
cd passwall-server && cp .env.example .env
After that, open the .env file with a text editor and edit the following parameters:
HTTP_PORT="80"
HTTPS_PORT="443"
DOMAIN="yourdomain.com"
EMAIL="youremail@yourdomain.com"
TZ="Asia/Kolkata"
Now, we can run PassWall Server by executing the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
Basically, this command instructs Docker Compose to build the PassWall Server image, and start the application in a detached mode, meaning you can close the terminal session and the application will still be running.
In this tutorial, we went through the installation process of PassWall Server on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now, PassWall Server is installed on your server, and you can start using it to securely access the internet. If you want to use PassWall Client, just download and install it from the project's Github page.
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!
