Run VeilNet Rift via Docker on Debian Distributions
Due to different Linux distribution may have different UI frameworks, this is no way to gurantee a GUI application will work consistly across Linux distributions. Therefore, to connect your Linux machine to VeilNet, we have to use Docker in host network mode.
Step 1 #
Navigate to the home page of the VeilNet Console
You will see a small card right above your MP rate information. Simply select wether the Rift is connecting to a public domain or private domain, then select the domain you want to connect with in the drop down menu. And finally click the create button.
Then simply as deploy for VeilNet Portals, simply download the script for Docker and execute it. Or switch to Docker Compose, download the Yaml file and execute:
docker compose up -d
Now, as long as the container is alive, you will always connected with VeilNet! Even after the machine is rebooted. To stop VeilNet Rift, simply stop the container with docker command, or:
docker compose down
⚠️ Warning: If the container stopped unexpectly, your machine will not lost internet access but the route table may have left over entries. To clean up the route table, simply reboot the machine. None of the changes made by VeilNet Rift is persistent!
