Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool that uses the same secure transport used by WireGuard. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Nebula on Void Linux.
Before installing Nebula, ensure that you have the following:
Since Nebula is written in Go, you need to install some packages that are required for building Go programs. Run the following command to install the dependencies.
sudo xbps-install -S go gcc musl-dev
You can download the latest Nebula version from Github using the "go get" command as shown below:
go get github.com/slackhq/nebula
Next, change into the Nebula home directory and build Nebula by running the following commands:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/slackhq/nebula
make build
After building Nebula, run the following command to install Nebula to /usr/local/bin/nebula:
sudo make install
Confirm that Nebula is installed by checking its version:
nebula --version
You should see the version number displayed on the console.
Nebula's functionalities vary depending on your use case. Refer to the Nebula Documentation for ways to configure and use Nebula.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nebula on Void Linux. You can now configure and use Nebula for your network overlay needs.
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!
