In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Appwrite on Void Linux. Appwrite is a self-hosted backend server that helps developers build scalable and secure web apps. It provides features such as user authentication, database management, file storage, and more.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
To install Appwrite on Void Linux, we need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command:
sudo xbps-install git gcc curl tar make pkg-config nodejs
This command will install git, gcc, curl, tar, make, pkg-config, and nodejs on your system.
After installing all dependencies, clone the Appwrite repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite.git
After cloning the Appwrite repository, change the directory to the Appwrite directory:
cd appwrite
Now, we need to install Appwrite using the following command:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Appwrite on Void Linux. Now you can use Appwrite to build your web applications on a secure and scalable backend server.
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!
