In this tutorial, we will be installing Warpgate on Debian. Warpgate is a fast and secure file transfer tool that can be used to move data between computers over the internet. It uses SSH and encryption to ensure that your data remains secure during transfer.
Before proceeding with the steps outlined in this tutorial, make sure that:
Open the terminal and type the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang-go git
Clone the Warpgate repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate.git
To build Warpgate, change to the downloaded Warpgate directory:
cd warpgate
Then, run the following command to build Warpgate:
go build
This will create an executable file named warpgate in the current directory.
Warpgate requires some configuration before it can be used. The configuration file is located in the config directory. Open the config file using your favorite text editor:
nano config/config.json
In this file, you can configure the listening address and port, as well as the SSH key and other settings.
To test if Warpgate is working correctly, run the following command:
./warpgate -test
If Warpgate is running correctly, it will print out "success" to the terminal.
To start Warpgate as a service, you can create a systemd unit file. Open your text editor and create a new file with the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Warpgate
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/path/to/warpgate
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save the file as /etc/systemd/system/warpgate.service, replacing /path/to/warpgate with the path to the warpgate executable.
Then, run the following command to reload the systemd configuration:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Finally, start the Warpgate service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start warpgate
You can check the status of the Warpgate service using the following command:
sudo systemctl status warpgate
