OnionShare is an open-source tool for securely and anonymously sharing files on the internet. It uses the Tor network, which encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP address to provide anonymity. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OnionShare on Fedora Server latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you will need the following:
OnionShare has some dependencies that need to be installed on your system before you can install it. Open a terminal and run the following command to update your system's package list:
sudo dnf update
Once the update is complete, you can install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo dnf install python3-pygments python3-qrcode python3-flask python3-gevent tor
Now that the dependencies are installed, you can proceed with downloading and installing OnionShare. Follow these steps:
Open a web browser and visit the OnionShare GitHub page: https://github.com/onionshare/onionshare.
Click on the green "Clone or download" button, then select "Download ZIP" to download the source code.
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your system.
Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where you extracted the OnionShare source code.
Run the following command to install OnionShare:
sudo make install
onionshare --version
If the installation was successful, you should see OnionShare's version number in the output.
OnionShare is now installed on your Fedora Server latest. To launch OnionShare, open a terminal and run the following command:
onionshare
This will start OnionShare and print its address to the terminal. You can copy the address and share it with anyone you want to share files with. When someone visits the address, they will be able to download the files you have shared with them.
You have successfully installed OnionShare on your Fedora Server latest. OnionShare is now ready to use as a secure and anonymous file sharing tool. You can use it to share files with anyone on the web, without compromising your privacy and security.
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!
