Chapter 3.1: Required tools and info
OS:
We strongly suggest to use Linux or macOS to administer your HI-Stack. You can follow this guide if you use Windows but you will be required to install some additional software on your machine.
Software:
- A browser. We suggest to use Firefox.
- A terminal window
- An OpenVPN connection manager. If you use a Mac we suggest to use Viscosity.
Domain:
The use of a domain (or subdomain) is not strictly necessary, but we will use a domain in the tutorial.
Dedicated server and optional licences:
You need a credit card to rent the dedicated server of your choice from Soyoustart.
You will need a credit card if you wish to upgrade your Proxmox and ClearOS licenses. They both release community editions that don’t cost a dime.
