Syncloud is an impressive cloud platform that lets you manage your files, calendar, email, and other services. It's open-source, and one of the best things about it is that it's highly customizable. If you're an avid cloud user and you're tired of relying on third-party providers, Syncloud might be just what you're looking for.
In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps needed to install Syncloud on EndeavourOS. It's one of those procedures that can seem daunting at first glance, but we assure you that it's very straightforward.
To install Syncloud on EndeavourOS, you'll need:
Before you start installing Syncloud, you must have Docker installed on your system. Docker is a tool that makes it easy to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. It's available for various operating systems and is straightforward to install.
Run the following command to install Docker on your system:
sudo pacman -S docker
The command will prompt you to install the package. Press "Enter" to continue.
Once the installation finishes, you'll need to start the Docker service. Run this command:
sudo systemctl start docker && sudo systemctl enable docker
The above command will start the Docker service and set it to run at boot.
Now that Docker is installed, you can proceed with the Syncloud installation. Open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name syncloud -p 80:80 -p 443:443 syncloud/platform
The above command will download the Syncloud package and install it in a Docker container. It will also expose ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).
Once the installation completes, you can access the Syncloud dashboard by typing https://localhost in your web browser.
The Syncloud dashboard is where you'll set up and configure your cloud services. You can add services such as Nextcloud, Roundcube, and more. Syncloud provides a simple interface to manage these services, so it shouldn't be too hard to get started.
To access the Syncloud dashboard, open your web browser and type https://localhost in the address bar. The first time you access the dashboard, you'll be prompted to set up an admin account. Follow the instructions to complete the setup, and you'll be logged in to the dashboard.
From the dashboard, you can add services, manage users, and configure various settings. Explore the interface, and you'll find that it's quite intuitive.
That's it! You should now have Syncloud up and running on your EndeavourOS system. You can use it to manage your cloud services and access them from any device connected to the internet. If you encounter any issues during the installation, check the Syncloud documentation for more information.
