Sure! Here's a tutorial on how to install Pritunl on Void Linux using the command line.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have sudo/root access to your server, and have the following software installed:

• wget
• tar
• git
• gcc (or any C compiler)
• python

If you do not have one or more of these software packages installed, use the following commands to install them:

sudo xbps-install -S wget tar git gcc python

Step 1: Download and Extract the Pritunl Package

To download the Pritunl package, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl/releases/latest in your web browser.
2. Scroll down to the assets section and find the link for your platform (Linux 64-bit in our case).
3. Right-click on the download link and copy the link address.
4. On your server, use the wget command to download the package:

cd /tmp
wget <paste the copied link address here>

5. Extract the archive:

tar xzf pritunl.tar.gz

6. Move the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo mv pritunl /opt/

Step 2: Install the Pritunl Dependencies

Pritunl has a few dependencies that it requires to run. To install these dependencies, use the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S mongodb-server python-pip python-devel gcc make openssl-devel libffi-devel

Step 3: Configure MongoDB

Pritunl requires an instance of MongoDB to store its data. Follow these steps to set up MongoDB:

1. Start the MongoDB service:

sudo sv start mongodb

2. Enable MongoDB to start on boot:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mongodb /var/service/

3. Create a user and database for Pritunl:

mongo
use pritunl
db.createUser({user: "pritunl", pwd: "<your_password_here>", roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "pritunl"}]})
exit

Step 4: Install Pritunl

To install Pritunl, use the following commands:

cd /opt/pritunl
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install

Step 5: Configure and Start Pritunl

To configure Pritunl, you will need to create a configuration file. You can use the example configuration file provided by Pritunl as a starting point. Follow these steps:

1. Copy the example configuration file to the /etc/pritunl.conf file:

sudo cp /opt/pritunl/examples/pritunl.conf /etc/pritunl.conf

2. Edit the configuration file with your favorite text editor, and adjust the settings to your liking. Make sure to set the MongoDB URI to mongodb://pritunl:<your_password_here>@localhost/pritunl.
3. Start the Pritunl service using the following commands:

sudo sv start pritunl
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/pritunl /var/service/

4. Check the logs to make sure that Pritunl has started successfully:

sudo tail -f /var/log/pritunl.log

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Pritunl on your Void Linux server. You can now use the Pritunl web interface to create VPN connections and manage your network.

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!
