Tipi is a command-line tool that helps you run multiple Node.js processes on a single server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Tipi on Void Linux.
To be able to install and use Tipi on Void Linux, you need the following:
Before installing Tipi, we need to have Node.js and npm installed on our Void Linux system. We can do this using the following command:
sudo xbps-install nodejs
Yarn is a popular package manager for Node.js. We will use Yarn to install the Tipi package from the GitHub repository.
To install Yarn on Void Linux, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install yarn
To download the Tipi package, we need to clone the Tipi repository from GitHub. We can do this using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/meienberger/runtipi.git
Now, navigate to the cloned directory and install the Tipi package using Yarn. Run the following commands:
cd runtipi
yarn
Now that we have installed Tipi, we can configure it to use our Node.js processes. In the cloned directory, create a tipi.yml file using your favorite text editor:
nano tipi.yml
In the file, define your Node.js processes as follows:
processes:
- script: app.js
name: node-app
Save and exit the file.
Finally, we can start Tipi using the following command:
./bin/tipi
If everything is set up correctly, we should see the output of our Node.js processes in the terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tipi on Void Linux. We hope this tutorial was helpful.
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!
