Lufi is a free and open source software that allows you to share files easily and securely between different users. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Lufi on Debian Latest.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \

Download and install Lufi by running the following commands:
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://framagit.org/fiat-tux/hat-softwares/lufi.git
cd lufi
sudo cpanm --installdeps .
sudo ./lufi_install.pl
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set up the database, admin password, and other configurations.
Now that the Lufi installation is complete, we need to configure it with the web server. Below are the instructions for Nginx and Apache web servers.
Create a file named lufi.conf in the Nginx configuration directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/lufi.conf
Add the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
Save and close the file. Lastly, restart Nginx for the changes to take effect.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Create a virtual host configuration file for Lufi:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/lufi.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME
DocumentRoot /opt/lufi/root
<Directory /opt/lufi/root>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /api/ http://localhost:8080/api/
ProxyPassReverse /api/ http://localhost:8080/api/
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/lufi_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/lufi_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Lastly, enable the virtual host and restart Apache.
sudo a2ensite lufi.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME to access Lufi. You should see the Lufi login page.
