Posio is a web application that maintains a list of your current positions in the world. It uses your device's GPS to determine your location, and then saves that information for future use. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Posio on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to clone the Posio repository from GitHub. Use the following command to do so:
git clone https://github.com/abrenaut/posio.git
This will create a new directory called posio
in your current working directory.
Posio uses several dependencies that need to be installed before we can run it. Use the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S python python-flask python-requests python-requests-cache
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can run Posio. Navigate to the posio
directory that was created when we cloned the repository, and run the following command:
python posio.py
This will start the Posio application on your system. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000
.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run Posio on your Arch Linux system. Now you have a way to keep track of your current positions in the world.
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!
