myDrive is an open-source cloud storage server application based on Python, allowing you to have personal cloud storage with encryption and privacy. It is designed to be a minimal and easy-to-use file storage server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install myDrive on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start with the installation, it is essential to update the system's package repository and upgrade any outdated packages. Run the following command to update and upgrade the packages:
sudo pacman -Syu
The myDrive server requires some packages to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pacman -S git python python-pip redis
Now that we have installed the required packages, we can proceed to download and install the myDrive server files. Follow the steps below:
Clone the myDrive repository from Git:
git clone https://github.com/subnub/myDrive.git
Once the cloning is completed, navigate to the myDrive directory using the command:
cd myDrive
Install the required Python modules using pip:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
To configure myDrive, you need to create a config.yml file. Run the following command:
cp config.yml.example config.yml
Edit the config.yml file according to your needs. For example, you can change the port number or set the password.
Now we can start the myDrive server by running the following command:
./mydrive.sh start
You will see an output similar to the following:
* Starting MyDrive web server...
That means that the server has started successfully.
Open your browser and navigate to http://<your-server-ip>:8888.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured myDrive on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use myDrive as a personal cloud storage server.
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!
