Prerequisites

Before you begin with the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Fedora CoreOS is installed on your system.
• You have access to the root user account.

Step 1: Install Git

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

Step 2: Download and Install Updog

Now, we will download and install Updog from its GitHub repository. Follow the below steps:

1. 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
   

2. Move to the updog directory:

   cd updog
   

3. Clone the Updog repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git
   

4. Move to the downloaded Updog directory:

   cd updog
   

5. Build the Updog binary:

   make build
   

6. 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.

7. Finally, we will install the binary to the /usr/local/bin directory:

   sudo mv ./updog /usr/local/bin
   

Step 3: Verify Updog Installation

To verify that Updog is installed correctly, run the following command:

updog --version

You should see the installed version of Updog on your system.

Step 4: Starting Updog

Now that we have installed Updog, we can start using it. To start Updog, run the following command:

updog <path-to-directory>

Replace with the path of the directory that you want to share. For instance, if you want to share the /var/www/html directory, run the following command:

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.
