How to Install Bepasty on EndeavourOS

Bepasty is a simple file hosting service that allows users to upload and share files securely. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bepasty on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, make sure you have a user account with sudo privileges on your EndeavourOS system. You should also have a web server installed and configured on your system.

Step 1: Update your System

Before proceeding with the installation, update your system packages to their latest versions.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Bepasty requires Python 3.5 or later, pip, and several Python packages to run correctly. Install these packages by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-setuptools python-wheel python-cffi python-cryptography

Step 3: Install Bepasty

Once the dependencies are installed, we can now install Bepasty using pip. Run the following command to install Bepasty:

sudo pip install bepasty

Step 4: Configure Bepasty

Next, you need to configure Bepasty. Create a new configuration file for Bepasty under /etc/bepasty/bepasty.conf using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/bepasty/bepasty.conf

Insert the following lines to configure Bepasty:

[global]
port = 8001
store_dir = /var/lib/bepasty

• The port setting specifies the port number on which Bepasty will listen for incoming connections (by default is 8000).
• The store_dir setting specifies the directory where files and metadata will be stored.

Once you have edited the configuration file, save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + O and then Ctrl + X.

Step 5: Start and Enable Bepasty Service

After configuring Bepasty, we can now start the Bepasty service. Run the following command to start the Bepasty service:

sudo systemctl start bepasty@default

Now enable the Bepasty service at system boot:

sudo systemctl enable bepasty@default

Step 6: Configure Your Web Server

Finally, you need to configure your web server to make Bepasty available on the internet. Follow these steps depending on which web server you are using:

Apache

If you are using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file for Bepasty:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/bepasty.conf

And insert the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName bepasty.example.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8001/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8001/
</VirtualHost>

• The ServerName directive specifies the domain name of your Bepasty instance.
• The ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives tell Apache to forward all requests to Bepasty.

Save and close the file. Then restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Nginx

If you are using Nginx, create a new server block for Bepasty:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/bepasty.conf

And insert the following lines:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name bepasty.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8001;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

• The listen directive specifies the port number on which Nginx will listen for incoming connections (by default is 80).
• The server_name directive specifies the domain name of your Bepasty instance.
• The location block specifies the location of your Bepasty.

Save and close the file. Then restart Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

That's it! Bepasty is now installed and configured on your EndeavourOS system. You can now upload and share files using Bepasty.

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!
