Drift is a simple tool designed to allows users to recursively compare two directories and efficiently synchronize changes.
In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to install Drift on Alpine Linux Latest. Follow the steps carefully and if you encounter any problems, please feel free to reach out for assistance.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:
We can start by updating the package lists on our system by running the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
After that, we will install the dependencies required to build and install Drift. We can run the following command to install them:
apk add --no-cache make gcc musl-dev curl git
We will clone the Drift repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git
This will create a new folder called drift in your current directory, and the repository will be cloned there.
We can now build and install Drift by running the following commands:
cd drift
make clean && make
sudo make install
This will build the Drift binary and copy it to the /usr/local/bin/ directory.
To verify that Drift has been installed successfully on Alpine Linux Latest, you can run the following command to check the version of Drift:
drift --version
This should display the version of Drift installed on your system.
Drift is now successfully installed on your Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use Drift to sync your directories and efficiently track changes to your files. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
