Copyparty is a file server that allows users to easily share files and folders with others. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Copyparty on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to ensure that your system is up-to-date. To achieve this, execute the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Copyparty requires a few dependencies to run correctly on your system. Execute the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S python python-polib python-pillow
Now that the system is up-to-date and all dependencies are installed, let's continue and clone the Copyparty repository. Execute the following command to do this:
git clone https://github.com/9001/copyparty.git
Next, change the directory to the Copyparty folder and run the installation script.
cd copyparty
./install.sh
The script will install Copyparty on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you can run Copyparty using the following command:
./copyparty
By default, Copyparty will listen on port 3923. You can access the web UI by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:3923
With this, you can easily install Copyparty on your Arch Linux system. Now, you can freely share and transfer files and folders with others over the internet. Enjoy!
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!
