Running a home Linux Server on AREDN is very easy.

• You can install LinuxMint Xfce on a cheap laptop.
• Update it and reboot if necessary.

• Change the Linux hostname. For example, I used VA7FI-Linux:

  sudo hostnamectl set-hostname VA7FI-Linux

  Note that the Linux hostname will be the same as the AREDN Node name configured in the Basic Setup page and the Mesh Chat Node name on the front page.

• Install Apache:

  sudo aptitude install curl apache2
