To use bash scripts, you should change the permission of the bash script files as shown below

chmod +x run.sh
cd MyApp.Blazor.Server
chmod +x InstallAsServiceUbuntu.sh

repeat the process for each .sh file

Go to your Xaf Blazor app folder and run the following command in the console

cd MyApp.Blazor.Server

./InstallAsServiceUbuntu.sh 192.168.122.154 UserInRemoteServer /path/to/the/app y

1. IP of the target server
2. User in the remote server
3. Path to deploy the app
4. Update or create the database/schema

Example this is how the command should look like

./InstallAsServiceUbuntu.sh 192.168.122.154 joche /home/joche y

To install from ubuntu you need to have sshpass installed

apt install sshpass

there is a problem in the gzip library in wsl 1 and 2 to fix it you need to run the following command

echo -en '\x10' | sudo dd of=/usr/bin/gzip count=1 bs=1 conv=notrunc seek=$((0x189))
