xBrowserSync is a free and open-source web app synchronization tool that lets you synchronize and backup your bookmarks, history, and tabs across multiple browsers and devices. In this tutorial, we are going to install xBrowserSync on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before we start, you need to have the following:
To start, we need to make sure that the system is up-to-date. To do that, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
xBrowserSync is built on top of Node.js, so we need to install it on our system. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
Now that we have Node.js installed on our system, we can now proceed to install xBrowserSync.
There are two ways to install xBrowserSync:
The easiest way to install xBrowserSync is to use the Node Package Manager (npm). To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo npm install -g xbrowsersync
If you prefer to install xBrowserSync using the GitHub repository, you can do so by running the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/xbrowsersync/app.git
cd app
npm install
Now that we have installed xBrowserSync on our system, we can now start it. To start xBrowserSync, run the following command:
xbrowsersync start
Once xBrowserSync is running, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
Now that xBrowserSync is up and running, you can start using it to synchronize your bookmarks, history, and tabs across multiple browsers and devices.
To sync a new device or browser, you need to copy the Sync Key from the xBrowserSync web interface and paste it into the xBrowserSync extension or client on your other device or browser.
And that's it! You have successfully installed and set up xBrowserSync on your Fedora CoreOS system.
