Compile Dante on Debian 13 or install Ubuntu 24 from ISO
Hi friends, please, help me out with quick advice. I will try to explain in fewer words.
I need to install DANTE-SERVER on my VPS where only Debian 13 is available. Dante is not yet in its repositories, so it's either compile it or install Ubuntu 24 from ISO. After quick attempt at compiling - I failed. And same with Ubuntu install via ISO. Haven't done either before.
What is easier to accomplish? Which way should I concentrate my efforts?
COMPILE on Debian 13: I probably didn't install needed packages to compile it right... I did install gcc and make, but wasn't enough.. What other packages would I need to compile properly?
UBUNTU24 from ISO: I downloaded "Server install image" and added it to ISO list, then tried to build OS from it, - server got stuck performing a task for 2 days, the only way was to ask admin to reset VPS and rebuild back to Debian 13, as any dash functionality was disabled. The advice I received from admin: "You can download the correct iso via ISO list and mount it from there to boot from it and install Ubuntu." I must admit I still don't get it.
Did I need to boot into that very same "Server Install Image ISO"? Or did I have to download "Netboot tarball" and try booting into that to install OS? Is installation process straightforward? I would only rebuild via menu on other VPS before.
thanks for you help!
PS. 3rd option is to wait until Ubuntu is added by admin, which is not set in stone.

Don't compile software manually, you have no idea what you are doing, you will fuck it up.
Reinstall to ubuntu.
It scares me that you people are root on linux machines all over the world. Just grab the bookworm package and install it.

edit: Oh you probably don't know how to do that either. wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dante/dante-server_1.4.2+dfsg-7+b8_amd64.deb && dpkg -i ./dante-server(tab)
thanks, you've been very kind with your words of choice. i (or should i say "we people") appreciate your help.
PS. thanks for looking up all the proper links too, it's very helpful and extremely kind of you.
Don't be afraid to try stuff man. Generally this wouldn't be so simple but in this case it's a quick win.
Because both Ubuntu and Debian uses deb packages, it is possible use same build script with minor modification to generate deb packages.
