Updog is a simple and easy-to-use HTTP server that allows you to share files over the internet. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Updog on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we begin, we need to make sure that all the necessary dependencies are installed. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S npm git
This will install npm and git on your system, which we will use to download and install Updog.
Next, we need to download the latest version of Updog from its official GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git
This will download the Updog source code to your home directory. Navigate to the Updog directory by running the following command:
cd updog
Now, we can use npm to install Updog and its dependencies. Run the following command to do this:
sudo npm install
This will install Updog and its dependencies on your system. Once the installation is complete, you can start Updog by running the following command:
sudo npm start
Updog will now start running on your system and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:9090.
By default, Updog will serve files from your home directory. If you want to change the default directory, you can do so by adding the -d option followed by the directory path. For example, to serve files from the /var/www directory, you can run the following command:
sudo npm start -- -d /var/www
You can also specify the port number using the -p option. For example, to run Updog on port 8080, you can run the following command:
sudo npm start -- -p 8080
