Chibisafe is a self-hosted file hosting and sharing application for your personal use. It is available for free and allows you to upload and share files with your friends or colleagues. Here's a tutorial on how to install and set up Chibisafe on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start, it's important to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and run:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update all the packages and dependencies on your system.
To run Chibisafe, your system requires some dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S git python python-pip nginx
This command will install Git, Python, Pip, and Nginx.
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we need to clone the Chibisafe repository. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/arkenfox/chibisafe
This command will download the Chibisafe repository to your system.
After cloning the Chibisafe repository, access the directory where it is stored by running the following command:
cd chibisafe
Next, we will install Chibisafe by running:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the required packages for Chibisafe to run.
We're almost done! Now, we need to configure Chibisafe by creating a configuration file. Copy the sample configuration file to a new file by running the following command:
cp chibisafe/config.example.yml chibisafe/config.yml
Then, open the newly created config.yml file with your text editor of choice and modify it to suit your needs. Refer to the Chibisafe documentation for a detailed explanation of each configuration option.
The final step is to configure Nginx to serve the Chibisafe application. We will create a new server block configuration file for Nginx:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/chibisafe.conf
Then, add the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Replace example.com with your domain name, if you have one. This configuration will forward all incoming requests to Chibisafe running on port 8080.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter.
We're all set! To start Chibisafe, run the following command in the terminal:
python chibisafe/main.py
This command will start the Chibisafe server.
To start Nginx, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
This command will start the Nginx web server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Chibisafe on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now access Chibisafe by visiting your domain name or IP address in your web browser.
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!
