How to Install PassWall on Ubuntu Server Latest

PassWall is an open-source and easy-to-use proxy server application, which is designed to help you securely access the internet, and bypass any restricting firewalls, filters, and monitoring systems. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of PassWall Server on Ubuntu Server Latest using the following steps:

Prerequisites

Before we get started, we need to make sure that our server meets some requirements:

• An Ubuntu Server Latest installed with sudo access.
• A stable internet connection.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Ubuntu

Firstly, we need to ensure that our apt package manager is running the latest software by executing the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Necessary Tools

To be able to implement PassWall Server, we need to install the following prerequisite packages:

• cURL
• Git

Run the following command to download and install them:

sudo apt install curl git

Step 3: Install Docker

PassWall Server runs on Docker, so we need to install Docker on our server. Run the following command to install Docker:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Step 4: Install Docker Compose

Next, we need to install Docker Compose, which is a tool to define and run multi-container Docker applications. Run the following command to install Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.6/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

After installing Docker Compose, we need to make it executable by running:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Step 5: Clone PassWall Repository

We need to clone the PassWall repository with Git into our server. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git

Step 6: Set Up Environment Variables

We need to create an .env file in the PassWall repository directory with the following command:

cd passwall-server && cp .env.example .env

After that, open the .env file with a text editor and edit the following parameters:

HTTP_PORT="80"
HTTPS_PORT="443"
DOMAIN="yourdomain.com"
EMAIL="[email protected]"
TZ="Asia/Kolkata"

Step 7: Start PassWall Server

Now, we can run PassWall Server by executing the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

Basically, this command instructs Docker Compose to build the PassWall Server image, and start the application in a detached mode, meaning you can close the terminal session and the application will still be running.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we went through the installation process of PassWall Server on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now, PassWall Server is installed on your server, and you can start using it to securely access the internet. If you want to use PassWall Client, just download and install it from the project's Github page.
