Updog is an open-source utility that enables you to share files on the Internet via HTTP or HTTPS protocols. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Updog on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you begin with the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Updog is hosted on GitHub, and therefore we need to have Git installed on our system to download it. Run the following command to install git on Fedora CoreOS:
sudo dnf install git
Now, we will download and install Updog from its GitHub repository. Follow the below steps:
First, create a directory where you want to install Updog. For this tutorial, we will create a new directory called 'updog' under the home directory:
cd ~
mkdir updog
Move to the updog directory:
cd updog
Clone the Updog repository:
git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git
Move to the downloaded Updog directory:
cd updog
Build the Updog binary:
make build
Test the binary to ensure it's working:
./updog --help
You will see the help documentation for Updog, which indicates that the binary is working properly.
Finally, we will install the binary to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo mv ./updog /usr/local/bin
To verify that Updog is installed correctly, run the following command:
updog --version
You should see the installed version of Updog on your system.
Now that we have installed Updog, we can start using it. To start Updog, run the following command:
updog <path-to-directory>
Replace
updog /var/www/html
Updog will start a new server on your system, and it will provide you with a URL that you can use to access the files from any machine on the Internet.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Updog on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now share files over the Internet with ease.
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!
