INSTALLATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The single line installation command does everything. No interaction needed:<\/p>\n

curl -fsSL https:\/\/get.casaos.io | sudo bash<\/pre>\n
Note:<\/strong> It is recommended to install on top of a fresh installation of Ubuntu, Debian, or Raspberry Pi OS, either in a virtualisation environment or on bare metal.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
…give it some time to finish…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Navigate to http:\/\/127.0.0.1<\/strong>, or using the network IP (in my case http:\/\/192.168.1.177) from another machine, and create the administrator account.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
That is all it takes!<\/p>\n
To uninstall<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
curl -fsSL https:\/\/get.icewhale.io\/casaos-uninstall.sh | sudo bash<\/pre>\n
\n
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n
Do not expose this web application directly to the internet, as it uses HTTP (an unencrypted protocol). Instead, use a reverse proxy that terminates the SSL\/TLS connection (HTTPS) and forwards traffic locally to CasaOS.<\/p>\n
A great tool to expose your web application to the internet without a dynamic DNS or port forwarding on your modem is CloudFlare Tunnel<\/span> (available in the App Store).<\/p>\n
\n
CUSTOM APPLICATION INSTALLATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n
Remote Desktop (Ubuntu-Xfce)<\/strong><\/p>\n
docker run -d \\\r\n  --name=UbuntoDesk \\\r\n  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \\\r\n  -e PUID=1000 \\\r\n  -e PGID=1000 \\\r\n  -e TZ=America\/Toronto \\\r\n  -p 3389:3389 \\\r\n  --restart unless-stopped \\\r\n  lscr.io\/linuxserver\/rdesktop:ubuntu-mate<\/strong><\/pre>\n
The default username and password are abc:abc<\/code> (change it!)<\/p>\n

\n
REFLECTION NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n
CasaOS is a slick tool for hosting containerised services in a home or small office network, though it is not an enterprise-level platform. The number of one-click tools it offers is impressive, but it lacks a remote desktop environment and multi-user account management.<\/p>\n
