Plik is a free and open-source file sharing platform that runs on your server. It allows you to upload, share, and store your files securely. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Plik on Alpine Linux latest.
Before you begin, you need to have the following:
First, make sure your system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo apk update
sudo apk upgrade
Next, install required dependencies:
sudo apk add git make gcc musl-dev go
Now you need to clone the Plik repository. Run the following commands to clone the repository and switch to the latest stable release:
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/root-gg/plik.git
sudo cd plik
sudo git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
Build and install Plik by running the following commands:
sudo make install
sudo chmod +x bin/plikd
Finally, start the Plik server by running the following command:
sudo bin/plikd start
You can now access the Plik web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip:8080/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Plik on your Alpine Linux server. You can now use Plik to securely upload, share, and store your files.
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!
