WebUI-aria2 is an open source web interface for aria2, a popular command-line download manager for Linux. It allows users to manage their downloads from a web browser, making it a convenient tool for those who want to download files without using the command-line. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WebUI-aria2 on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, let's make sure that we have all the necessary components installed:
We assume that you have already installed EndeavourOS and have a basic understanding of Linux commands.
To install Apache, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache
After the installation is complete, start the Apache service:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
You can verify the installation by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.
To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache
After the installation is complete, restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
By default, PHP does not allow execution of remote files. To allow it, open the php.ini file with your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini
Find the following line:
allow_url_fopen = Off
Change it to:
allow_url_fopen = On
Save and close the file.
To install Aria2, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S aria2
Download the latest version of WebUI-aria2 from the GitHub repository:
wget https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2/archive/master.zip
Extract the files to the Apache document root directory:
sudo unzip master.zip -d /srv/http/
sudo mv /srv/http/webui-aria2-master /srv/http/aria2
Start Aria2:
aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/aria2 (or replace localhost with the IP address if you are accessing it remotely). You should be able to see the WebUI-aria2 interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WebUI-aria2 on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use it to manage your downloads from a 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!
