Prerequisites

  • A dedicated server or a Virtual Private Server (VPS) running Debian Latest.

Step 1: Update the System

Start by logging in to the server using SSH as a user with sudo privileges. Then, update the system by running the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install YunoHost

To install YunoHost on Debian, you need to add the YunoHost repository to the system. To do that, follow these steps:

Step 3: Set up the Domain Name

Choose a domain name that you want to use for your YunoHost server. You can either purchase a new domain or use an existing one. If you are using an existing domain name, make sure it is pointing to the server’s IP address.

After you have a domain name, run the following command to set it up with YunoHost:

sudo yunohost domain add example.com
