Cloudbox is an all-in-one media server solution that allows you to easily set up and manage your own media server. This guide will walk you through the process of installing Cloudbox on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you start, you'll need the following:
Cloudbox relies on Docker, a containerization platform, to run its components. To install Docker, open a terminal window and type the following commands:
sudo pacman -S docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
Git is required to download Cloudbox from its repository. To install Git, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
Clone the Cloudbox repository using the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/cloudbox/cloudbox.git
Change directory to the Cloudbox repository:
cd cloudbox
Copy the sample configuration file:
cp .env.sample .env
Then edit the .env file with your chosen editor. For this example, let's use nano:
nano .env
Update the GDRIVE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID and GDRIVE_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET as discussed in the Cloudbox documentation.
Now all you need to do is run Cloudbox:
./cloudbox.sh
It will take some time to download and configure all the necessary software components. Once the installation process is complete, you can browse to the Cloudbox web portal at http://localhost:5572 and start configuring your media server.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Cloudbox on EndeavourOS Latest using Docker and Git. Once you have the media server up and running, you can easily manage and stream content from anywhere.
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!
