OpenNode, an open-source server management platform, is increasingly being used by those who want to restore or manage a variety of servers. The following guide will walk you through how to install OpenNode on Windows 11.
Begin by visiting the OpenNode website and download the latest OpenNode ISO file.
Next, create a bootable USB drive using a tool like Rufus.
Insert the USB drive into your Windows 11 machine, and boot your PC using the USB drive.
During the boot process, press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to begin the installation process.
Keep pressing the "Enter" key until you reach the end user agreement screen. Press "Y" and then "Enter" to agree with the license.
Next, you will need to select the disk where OpenNode will be installed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this step.
Once you select the disk, you need to provide a hostname for the OpenNode server. Type in the hostname of your choosing, and press "Enter."
At the next prompt, select your timezone from the list by typing the number that corresponds with your timezone and press "Enter."
Next, set a password for your root account, and retype the password to confirm.
Wait for the installation process to complete.
Once the installation is complete, remove the USB drive and reboot your system.
Upon booting, OpenNode should be up and running. You can access it via the IP address assigned by your DHCP server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenNode on Windows 11. Now you can start managing servers through this powerful open-source platform.
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!
