In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install OTS on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following:
It's important to ensure that the system is up to date before we install any packages. To do that, open the CLI and run the following command:
sudo apk update
OTS requires some dependencies to be installed before we can proceed with the installation. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apk add build-base curl git pcre-dev openssl-dev
Now, we can download the latest stable version of OTS. Run the following command to clone the OTS repository:
git clone https://github.com/opentimestamps/opentimestamps-client.git
After the download has finished, navigate to the OTS directory with the following command:
cd opentimestamps-client
To install OTS, run the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
It will take a few minutes to complete the installation.
To verify that OTS has been successfully installed, run the following command:
ots --version
It should return the version of OTS installed on your system.
You have successfully installed OTS on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use it to timestamp your files and data to verify their authenticity.
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!
