copyparty is a file sharing and synchronization tool. It allows you to securely and quickly share files with other users over the Internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of copyparty on Debian Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required dependencies that are necessary to install and run copyparty. Open the terminal of your Debian server and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-openssl python3-cryptography
This will install the required dependencies, including Python 3 and pip.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can proceed with installing copyparty. To download copyparty, run the following command:
sudo pip3 install copyparty
After installing copyparty, you need to configure it to suit your needs. To do so, create a configuration file named cp.cfg by running the following command:
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python3.*/dist-packages/copyparty/config/cp.cfg.sample cp.cfg
Now that you have the configuration file, open it in your favorite text editor:
sudo nano cp.cfg
You can now modify the configuration file as per your requirements.
To start copyparty, run the following command:
copyparty
This will start copyparty on the default HTTP port 3923. You can now access the copyparty web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip:3923.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured copyparty on Debian Latest. You can now start sharing files with your friends and family securely and 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!
