This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing File Sharing from the official Github repository on the latest version of Fedora Server.
The following are the requirements before proceeding with the installation:
Ensure that the system is up to date by running the command:
sudo dnf update
Git is a version control system that we will use to clone the File Sharing repository. To install Git, run the command:
sudo dnf install git
Clone the File Sharing repository to your desired location. For example, we will clone it to the /opt/ directory.
sudo git clone https://github.com/axeloz/filesharing /opt/filesharing
File Sharing is built using Node.js, a JavaScript runtime. To install Node.js, run the following commands:
sudo dnf install nodejs
Navigate to the cloned repository directory and install the required dependencies for the application to run:
cd /opt/filesharing
sudo npm install
Run the following command to start the server:
sudo node app.js
By default, File Sharing will run on port 3000. You can access it by opening a web browser and visiting the URL http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed File Sharing on your Fedora Server. You can now configure and customize your file sharing experience.
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!
