XBackBone is a lightweight cloud backup and file-sharing web application that supports many storage back-ends like Google Drive, Amazon S3, and Dropbox. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install XBackBone on Fedora Server latest.
Before starting the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the package repository and install the required software dependencies. The following commands will update and install the needed dependencies:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y git nodejs-nodemon npm
After installing the dependencies, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the XBackBone repository. In this example, we will clone the repository in the /opt/ directory:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/xbackbone
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/xbackbone
cd /opt/xbackbone
git clone https://github.com/perryrh0dan/xBackBone.git .
Now that we have cloned the XBackBone repository, navigate to the repository root directory and install the dependencies:
npm install
Next, build the application:
npm run build
After successfully installing the dependencies and building the application, it's time to configure the XBackBone by creating a .env file:
cp .env.example .env
Then edit .env file and change the values based on your preferences:
nano .env
# Edit the values below:
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///tmp/xbackbone.db
PORT=3000
XBACKBONE_STORAGE_BACKEND=local
# Add the following line to specify your user ID if you're not running XBackBone as a dedicated user:
XBACKBONE_USER_ID=$(id -u)
# Uncomment the following line to only allow login for LDAP/AD users:
# XBACKBONE_ONLY_LDAP_LOGIN=1
After configuring the application, let's start running the application by running the following command:
npm start
After executing the command, you should be able to access XBackBone by opening your web browser and visiting http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:3000 or http://localhost:3000 if you are accessing it locally.
We have successfully installed XBackBone on Fedora Server latest. You can utilize the many features of XBackBone like file sharing and cloud backup to protect your valuable data.
