Make your Debian device accessible from anywhere via the Yaler relay.
Setting up your device requires a relay domain. Please sign up to get one.
Make sure the device is connected to the Internet via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 3G.
There are device-specific Yaler tutorials for Debian on BeagleBone, CHIP, CuBox, Orange Pi, Red Pitaya and Raspberry Pi.
Follow these steps to install YalerTunnel on Debian.
$ cd ~
$ su
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install libssl-dev ca-certificates $ apt-get install build-essential
$ exit
$ mkdir yalertunnel $ cd yalertunnel
$ wget http://s3.yaler.net/yalertunnel/YalerTunnel2-v2.3.2.src.tar.gz $ tar xfzmv YalerTunnel2-v2.3.2.src.tar.gz $ make
$ ./yalertunnel
A Web server or service has been installed and is running on the Debian device.
How to configure YalerTunnel on Debian to make a local Web service accessible from anywhere.
$ su
$ wget http://s3.yaler.net/debian/yalertunnel.service -O /lib/systemd/system/yalertunnel.service
$ ln -s /lib/systemd/system/yalertunnel.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/yalertunnel.service
$ nano /lib/systemd/system/yalertunnel.service
Check the path (default: /home/debian/yalertunnel), set the port of the local Web service (default: 80), and set your relay domain1 [Unit] ⋮ 7 ExecStart=/home/debian/yalertunnel/yalertunnel server 127.0.0.1:80 try.yaler.io:80 RELAY_DOMAIN -min-listeners 1
Save changes with CTRL-X, then Y, then RETURN. Do not change the local IP (default: 127.0.0.1), unless the Web service runs on a separate device in the same network.
$ reboot
How to remove YalerTunnel to disable Web access from anywhere.
$ su $ systemctl stop yalertunnel.service $ rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/yalertunnel.service $ rm /lib/systemd/system/yalertunnel.service $ reboot
Make sure the SSH daemon sshd is running on the Debian device.
