Snapdrop is a web-based file transfer tool that allows users to easily share files between devices on the same network. Here's how to install Snapdrop on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Open the terminal application on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. You can do this by searching for "Terminal" in the applications menu or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.
Before we can install Snapdrop, we need to install Git, a version control system. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install -y git
This may take a moment to complete.
Once Git is installed, we need to clone the Snapdrop repository. This is done using the git clone command. Enter the following command to clone the Snapdrop repository:
git clone https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop.git
This will create a new directory called "snapdrop" in your home directory.
To start the Snapdrop server, navigate to the "snapdrop" directory and run the following command:
node snapdrop.js
This will start the Snapdrop server on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. You should see output in the terminal that looks like this:
Server listening on port 8080
Now that the Snapdrop server is running, you can access it from another device on the same network. Open a web browser and navigate to http://[IP address]:8080, where [IP address] is the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
You should see the Snapdrop interface in your web browser. You can now easily share files between devices on the same network using Snapdrop.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Snapdrop on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
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!
