Uberlab

Here you find a collection of how tos, guides and playbooks for Uberspace 8. It is meant as an addition to our Manual providing hands-on guides on how to get popular (or even niche) software running on your Asteroid.

We hope that these guides not only enable you to install a certain software, but that you might also learn something from them, giving you a better understanding of our system and Linux in general.

How would you like to get started?

We keep the guides as simple as possible, all guides and playbooks are tested on a fresh Asteroid before publication. Feel free to ask our support for help when you’re stuck somewhere or have any questions.
