Duplicati is a free and open source backup software that is designed to securely store your data in the cloud or on your own server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Duplicati on Debian latest.
Before we proceed with the installation process, you must ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
It is always recommended to update your system before installing any new package. Run the following command as the root user to update your Debian system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Duplicati is built on .NET framework, so you need to install the mono-complete package which provides a complete .NET framework on Debian.
To install mono-complete, run the following command:
sudo apt install mono-complete
Now, you can download and install Duplicati from their official website. You can use wget command to download and save the Duplicati package:
wget https://updates.duplicati.com/beta/duplicati_2.0.5.1-1_all.deb
Once the download is complete, you can use dpkg command to install the package:
sudo dpkg -i duplicati_2.0.5.1-1_all.deb
After installation, start the Duplicati service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start duplicati.service
You can check the status of the Duplicati service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status duplicati.service
If everything is working fine, you'll see "active (running)" status.
By default, Duplicati server listens on port 8200. You can access the Duplicati web interface by opening a browser and navigating to:
http://your_server_ip:8200
The web interface will prompt you to create a new backup configuration. Follow the on-screen instructions and create a backup configuration to start using Duplicati.
You have successfully installed Duplicati on Debian latest. Now, you can start backing up your data to the cloud or your own server with ease.
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!
