CapRover is an open-source platform that allows developers to easily deploy and manage web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing CapRover on Void Linux.
Before we start with the installation process of CapRover, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the package cache:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Once the package cache is updated, run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -y git curl make gcc g++ openssl-dev docker
CapRover requires Docker to build and run containers. To install Docker on your Void Linux system, run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -y docker
sudo usermod -a -G docker your_username
Replace your_username with your actual username. The second command will add your user to the docker group.
Next, we need to clone the CapRover repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/caprover/caprover.git
Once the CapRover repository is cloned, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command to build CapRover:
cd caprover
sudo make build
The build process may take a few minutes depending on your system configuration. Once the build process is completed, run the following command to start CapRover:
sudo make start
Once CapRover is started, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost in your web browser. You should see the CapRover login screen. If you want to access CapRover from another machine, you will need to replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your server.
To set up CapRover, follow the on-screen instructions. You will need to create an admin account and select a domain name for your CapRover server. Once you have completed the setup process, you can deploy your web applications using CapRover.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install CapRover on Void Linux. With CapRover, you can easily deploy and manage your web applications on your Void Linux 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!
