Pomf is an open-source software that provides a simple and fast file hosting service. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Pomf on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Pomf requires the following dependencies to be installed:
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git go
Next, clone the Pomf repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pomf/pomf.git
Now, navigate to the Pomf directory and build the Pomf binary using the following command:
cd pomf
go mod download
go build
In order to use Pomf, you need to configure it. Copy the example configuration file to a new file with the name config.json:
cp ./config.example.json ./config.json
Next, open the config.json file in your preferred text editor and make the necessary changes. You can refer to the official documentation for more information on how to configure Pomf.
Finally, start the Pomf service using the following command:
./pomf
By default, Pomf will listen on port 5000. You can now access the Pomf file hosting service by visiting http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Pomf on Arch Linux. Now you can host your own files using Pomf!
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!
