Instructions to install LibrePaaS

Recommendation

• API key on Namecheap (if you want to automatically buy domain name)

Installation

First, you need a server. You can take it from a cloud provider, like DigitalOcean or Scaleway and choose to spin up a VM with CoreOS already installed on it.

You can also buy a baremetal at Hetzner as they are the cheapest options around. Follow these instructions in this case.

• If you use a cloud provider that support user_data, just copy the file bellow.
• If not, use boot a live cd, and issue that command:

wget https://raw.github.com/coreos/init/master/bin/coreos-install
bash coreos-install -d /dev/sda -c cloud-config.tmp

Don't forget to change the hostname and your ssh key!

#cloud-config

hostname: $hostname
ssh_authorized_keys:
  - #your ssh public key here
