In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Plik, a file-sharing platform developed by Root.gg, on a Fedora Server.
Before installing Plik, ensure that your server meets the following requirements:
Plik requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Update the server packages and install the following dependencies by executing the following commands in the terminal:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y git gcc-c++ make wget curl
Plik requires MongoDB, a NoSQL database, to function correctly. Install MongoDB by running the following commands in the terminal:
sudo dnf install -y mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod
Clone the Plik repository from Github into the /usr/local/plik directory by executing the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/root-gg/plik.git /usr/local/plik
Move into the cloned directory by executing:
cd /usr/local/plik
Install the Plik server by running:
sudo make
Create a configuration file with the following command:
sudo cp /usr/local/plik/config/config.sample.json /usr/local/plik/config/config.json
Open the configuration file by executing:
sudo nano /usr/local/plik/config/config.json
Make changes to the configuration file as per your requirements.
Start the Plik server by executing:
sudo /usr/local/plik/plikd -c /usr/local/plik/config/config.json
In this tutorial, we went through the steps required to install Plik on a Fedora Server. Plik is now ready to be used as a file-sharing platform.
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!
