It allows you to host private and public services on your local machine and make them available over the public internet using an encrypted tunnel. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Inlets on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Linux Mint Latest system with sudo privileges.
• Basic knowledge of the terminal and Linux commands.

Step 1: Download Inlets

The first step is to download the Inlets binary using the following command:

$ wget https://github.com/inlets/inlets/releases/download/VERSION/inlets-pro-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Replace VERSION with the latest version of Inlets available.

Step 2: Extract Inlets

After downloading the Inlets binary, extract it using the following command:

$ tar -xzf inlets-pro-linux-amd64.tar.gz

This will create a new directory inlets-pro with the Inlets binary inlets-pro.

Step 3: Move Inlets

Next, move the Inlets binary to the /usr/local/bin directory using the following command:

$ sudo mv inlets-pro /usr/local/bin/inlets

This will move the Inlets binary to the /usr/local/bin directory and rename it to inlets.

Step 4: Verify Installation

To verify the installation of Inlets, run the following command:

$ inlets version

This should output the version number of Inlets installed on your system.

Step 5: Run Inlets

To start using Inlets, you need to create a configuration file with your settings. You can find an example configuration file inlets-pro.service.example in the inlets-pro directory. Copy this file to /etc/systemd/system/ using the following command:

$ sudo cp inlets-pro.service.example /etc/systemd/system/inlets-pro.service

Replace inlets-pro.service.example with the name of the example file you downloaded.

Next, edit the /etc/systemd/system/inlets-pro.service file and replace <SERVER-URL> with your server URL and <SECRET-TOKEN> with your secret token. Save the file and exit.

After creating the configuration file, use the following commands to start and enable the Inlets service:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start inlets-pro
$ sudo systemctl enable inlets-pro

This will start the Inlets service and enable it to start automatically on system boot.
