Etebase is a database software ideal for any privacy-conscious user. With Etebase, you can always be sure that your data is secure, and you can access it from any of your devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Etebase on your Debian operating system.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that our Debian system has the following:
First, update the package list and upgrade any existing packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Afterward, install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev libqt5websockets5-dev -y
We will download the source code of Etebase from its official Github repository via the following command:
git clone https://github.com/etesync/server.git
Then, initialize and update any submodules:
cd server
git submodule update --init --recursive
Once done, configure and build Etebase as follows:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
After the installation process, you should have a binary located at the server/build/etesync-server directory.
Next, start the Etebase server via the binary and configure it to your needs:
./etesync-server --init
./etesync-server --config "/path/to/your/config.toml"
Ensure to replace "path/to/your/config.toml" with the correct location of your config.toml file. This file contains server configuration settings such as the port and SSL certification.
Finally, start Etebase server via the following command:
./etesync-server --config "/path/to/your/config.toml"
Finally, we have successfully installed and configured Etebase, and you are now ready to use this powerful platform. With Etebase, you can store and retrieve sensitive data from anywhere in the world without worrying about its security.
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!
