Appsmith is an open-source platform to build custom in-house applications. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Appsmith on Void Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation, we need to make sure that the following packages are installed on our system:
cURL is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Run the following command to install cURL:
sudo xbps-install -S curl

In this tutorial, we have seen how to install Appsmith on Void Linux. Once the installation is complete, you can access Appsmith by opening your web browser and pointing it to http://localhost:8080. From here, you can start building custom in-house applications using Appsmith.
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!
