Cloudbox is an open source platform that allows users to set up a personal cloud storage solution. It offers a range of features, including file sharing, syncing, and cloud storage services. The following tutorial explains how to install Cloudbox on Debian latest.
Update and upgrade the system package repositories:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Cloudbox uses git and python as essential tools, so you must install these packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install git python -y
Download the Cloudbox installer using git:
git clone https://github.com/cloudbox/cloudbox.git
Switch to the Cloudbox directory and run the install script:
cd cloudbox
sudo ./cloudbox-setup
This script will prompt you to enter your username, password, and other settings. Once done, the installation process will start, and you'll have to wait for a few minutes to complete.
Once the installation completes successfully, you can access the Cloudbox web interface by visiting the following URL:
https://yourdomain.tld
You must replace yourdomain.tld with your server’s domain name or IP address. Also, make sure to access the URL using the HTTPS protocol.
Cloudbox uses a self-signed SSL certificate by default, which can raise a security warning in your web browser. However, you can install a valid SSL certificate to avoid this warning.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Cloudbox on Debian latest. Once installed, you can use it to set up a personal cloud storage solution quickly.
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!
