Peergos is a decentralized and secure platform that allows you to store and share files securely. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for installing Peergos on Arch Linux.
Before you start installing Peergos, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Peergos is built on top of Node.js, so you need to install Node.js on your system. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
This installs the latest version of Node.js and the Node Package Manager (NPM).
To download Peergos, open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Peergos/Peergos.git
This will download the Peergos repository to your current directory.
Peergos has several dependencies that you need to install before you can run it. To install these dependencies, navigate to the Peergos directory that you downloaded in Step 2 and run the following command:
npm install
This might take a few minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
After installing the dependencies, you need to build Peergos. To do this, run the following command:
npm run build
This will build Peergos and create a dist directory in the Peergos directory.
To run Peergos, navigate to the dist directory that was created in Step 4 and run the following command:
node main.js
This will start the Peergos server. Open your favorite web browser and enter http://localhost:5000 in the address bar to access Peergos.

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!
