Add a Linux Device to HostAnywhere — Step-by-Step Setup
Add a Linux machine to HostAnywhere with a single command. You'll run the one-line installer, authenticate in your browser, and the device joins instantly — no firewall rules, no manual config.
HostAnywhere gives you cloud-managed secure access across all your devices and services — one lightweight agent, every platform.
What you'll do:
• SSH into your Linux machine
• Run the one-line installer: curl -fsSL https://hostanywhere.io/install.sh | sh
• Run hostanywhere login and authenticate in your browser (Google, Apple, GitHub, Microsoft, Email, or SSO)
• Device connected — check it with hostanywhere status
• See your Linux box online in the dashboard, and verify with a ping
