Warpgate is a tool that helps you deploy your applications into Kubernetes clusters. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Warpgate on NixOS, a modern operating system that uses a functional approach to package management.
Before we proceed with the installation, let's first install the dependencies required by Warpgate. In your terminal, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.kubernetes-cli nixpkgs.kubectl nixpkgs.docker
This will install Kubernetes CLI, kubectl, and Docker on your machine.
Next, you need to clone the Warpgate repository from GitHub. In your terminal, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate.git
This will clone the Warpgate repository into your current working directory.
Now that you have cloned the Warpgate repository, you can install it on your NixOS machine. In your terminal, navigate to the Warpgate directory:
cd warpgate
Next, run the following command to install Warpgate:
sudo nix-env -if .
This will build and install Warpgate on your machine.
To verify that Warpgate is installed correctly, run the following command:
warpgate --version
This should output the version of Warpgate installed on your machine.
Warpgate is now installed on your NixOS Latest machine. You can now use it to deploy your applications into Kubernetes clusters. If you encounter any errors during the installation, please check the Warpgate documentation and NixOS documentation for troubleshooting tips.
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!
