Hackershare is an open-source and self-hosted file-sharing application that allows users to upload and share files with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hackershare on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you start, you need to make sure that the following requirements are met:
First, we need to fetch the Hackershare source code from the GitHub repository. To do this, log in to your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/hackershare/hackershare.git
This command will download the Hackershare code to your current directory.
Next, we need to configure some environment variables for the Hackershare container. To do this, navigate to the Hackershare directory and create a .env file using the following command:
cd hackershare
vi .env
Add the following lines to the file:
# Define the domain name or IP address of your server
DOMAIN=hackershare.example.com
# Define the port that Hackershare will use (default is 8080)
PORT=8080
# Define the storage directory for uploaded files (default is ./upload)
STORAGE=./upload
# Define the SMTP server for email notifications (optional)
MAIL_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=hackershare@example.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mygmailpassword
MAIL_SENDER=hackershare@example.com
Make sure to replace the values in the above code with your own configuration.
After setting the environment variables, we can now start the Hackershare server. To do this, execute the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary Docker images and start the Hackershare server in detached mode. It may take a few minutes to download and start the container, depending on your internet speed.
Once the server is running, you can check its status by running the following command:
docker ps
This will list all the running Docker containers, including the Hackershare container.
By default, Fedora CoreOS latest comes with a very strict firewall configuration. You need to allow the Hackershare port through the firewall to access it from the internet.
To open the port, run the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
This will allow incoming traffic on port 8080 for the TCP protocol.
Once you have completed all the above steps, Hackershare should be up and running. You can access it from your favorite web browser by navigating to http://[server-ip]:8080 or http://[domain-name]:8080 if you have configured the domain name.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hackershare on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
In this tutorial, we installed and configured the Hackershare file-sharing application on a Fedora CoreOS Latest instance. With Hackershare, you can easily share files with others in a self-hosted environment.
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!
