Web Client

If you're a Linux user, you can only use the Web Client.

Installation on Linux

First of all, download and install the .NET Runtime and ASP.NET Core Runtime by following these instructions.

Next, download the right updater for your platform and place it in an empty folder in your file system.

Info

You could also directly download OpenBullet2.Web.zip, but the updater is recommended since it can be used to easily update your installation in the future.

Open a terminal and cd into the folder where you placed the updater. Then execute the following commands

chmod +x ./ob2-web-updater-linux-x64
./ob2-web-updater-linux-x64

Once the updater is done downloading the latest version of OpenBullet 2, execute this command to start the application

dotnet ./OpenBullet2.Web.dll

Wait until it prints the text you see in the picture below

Terminal Window

Finally, navigate to http://localhost:5000 using your favorite browser and you should see the home page.

Troubleshooting

I'm on a Linux server without a GUI

If you're on a Linux Server (x64) and only have access to the command line, then you can use these commands instead

sudo apt install -y wget
wget https://github.com/openbullet/openbullet2/releases/latest/download/ob2-web-updater-linux-x64
chmod +x ./ob2-web-updater-linux-x64
./ob2-web-updater-linux-x64
dotnet ./OpenBullet2.Web.dll

Replace x64 with arm64 in the commands above if you're on an ARM64 system.
