First you need to install the system dependencies.
`ynh-dev` essentially requires Git and the LXD/LXC ecosystem. Be careful that

`ynh-dev` essentially requires Git and the Incus/LXC ecosystem. Be careful that
**Incus/LXC can conflict with other installed virtualization technologies such as
libvirt or vanilla LXCs**, especially because they all require a daemon based
on DNSmasq and therefore require to listen on port 53.
On a Debian-based system (regular Debian, Ubuntu, Mint ...), LXD can be
installed using `snapd`. On other systems like Archlinux, you will probably also
be able to install `snapd` using the system package manager (or even
`lxd` directly).
Incus can be installed with your Linux distribution package manager, such as:
```bash
apt install git snapd
sudo snap install core
sudo snap install lxd
# Adding lxc/lxd to /usr/local/bin to make sure we can use them easily even
# with sudo for which the PATH is defined in /etc/sudoers and probably doesn't
# include /snap/bin
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/lxc /usr/local/bin/lxc
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/lxd /usr/local/bin/lxd
apt install incus
```
Then you shall initialize LXD which will ask you a bunch of question. Usually
You then need to add yourself in the incus-admin group, to run incus without sudo every time:
```bash
sudo usermod -a -G incus-admin $(whoami)
```
Then you shall initialize Incus which will ask you a bunch of question. Usually
answering the default (just pressing enter) to all questions is fine.
```bash
sudo lxd init
incus admin init

Pre-built images are centralized on `devbaseimgs.yunohost.org` and we'll download them from there to speed things up:
```bash
sudo lxc remote add yunohost https://devbaseimgs.yunohost.org --public
incus remote add yunohost https://devbaseimgs.yunohost.org --public

When ran on the host, the `./ynh-dev` command allows you to manage YunoHost's dev LXCs.
Start your actual dev LXC using :
```bash
$ cd ynh-dev # if not already done
$ ./ynh-dev start

### 3. Development and container testing
After SSH-ing inside the container, you should notice that the *directory* `/ynh-dev` is a shared folder with your host. In particular, it contains the various git clones `yunohost`, `yunohost-admin` and so on - as well as the `./ynh-dev` script itself.

### Advanced: using snapshots
You can check `lxc snapshot --help` to learn how to manage lxc snapshots.
You can check `incus snapshot --help` to learn how to manage incus snapshots.
## Alternative: Using Only Virtualbox
### Alternative: Using Only Virtualbox
A Vagrant and Virtualbox (without LXC) guide is provided on another branch of
this repository. This is a known working setup used by some developers. Please
see the ["virtualbox" branch](https://github.com/YunoHost/ynh-dev/tree/virtualbox#develop-on-your-local-machine)
for more.
## Troubleshooting
If you experiment network issues with your lxd during rebuild container steps. Probably your container are not able to get a local IP with DHCP.

It could be due to bridge conflict (for example if you have lxc installed too) or dnsmasq port already used.

### 1. Setup your VPS and install YunoHost
Setup a VPS somewhere (e.g. Scaleway, Digital Ocean, etc.) and install YunoHost following the [usual instructions](https://yunohost.org/#/install_manually).
Depending on what you want to achieve, you might want to run the postinstall right away - and/or setup a domain with an actually working DNS.
## 2. Setup `ynh-dev` and the development environment
### 2. Setup `ynh-dev` and the development environment
Deploy a `ynh-dev` folder at the root of the filesystem with:
```
$ cd /
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yunohost/ynh-dev/master/deploy.sh | bash
$ cd /ynh-dev
```bash
cd /
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yunohost/ynh-dev/master/deploy.sh | bash
cd /ynh-dev
```
## 3. Develop and test
### 3. Develop and test
Inside the VPS, `./ynh-dev` can be used to link the git clones to actual the code being ran.
For instance, after running:
```bash
$ ./ynh-dev use-git yunohost
./ynh-dev use-git yunohost
```
Any `yunohost` command will run from the code of the git clone.
The `use-git` action can be used for any package among `yunohost`, `yunohost-admin`, `moulinette` and `ssowat` with similar consequences.
