In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Shield on Clear Linux, which is a secure, easy-to-use open-source tool for performing backup and disaster recovery for your platform.
Before we get started with the installation, you should have the following:
Shield is written in Go, so you need to install it on your system. To install Git and Golang, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add git-golang
Next, you need to install dep, a dependency manager for Go. To do this, run:
go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
After installing Git and Golang, you need to clone Shield from the GitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/shield.git
Move into the cloned Shield directory:
cd shield
Then use dep to install the required dependencies:
dep ensure
Finally, build and install Shield by running the following command in the command prompt:
go install ./cmd/shield
To verify that Shield is installed properly, open a new terminal window and run:
shield version
If Shield is installed correctly, you should see a version number printed on the console.
Shield is now installed on your Clear Linux system! You can now use Shield to perform backup and disaster recovery for your platform.
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!
