Bepasty is a simple self-hosted file sharing solution that provides an easy way for users to share files securely over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Bepasty on a Fedora Server.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before you install any software on your system, it is important to update the system packages to the latest version. Run the following commands to update the system:
sudo dnf update -y
Next, you need to install the dependencies required by Bepasty. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install -y python3-pip python3-devel gcc libffi-devel openssl-devel
Now, it's time to install Bepasty on Fedora Server. Run the following command to install Bepasty:
sudo pip3 install bepasty-server
In this step, you need to create a configuration file for Bepasty. Run the following command to create a configuration file for Bepasty:
sudo mkdir /etc/bepasty
sudo nano /etc/bepasty/bepasty.conf
Add the following configuration settings to the file:
[bepasty]
directory = /var/lib/bepasty
cache_directory = /var/cache/bepasty
secret_key = <your-secret-key>
Save and close the file.
Now, it's time to create the Bepasty directories. Run the following commands to create the directories:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/bepasty
sudo mkdir /var/cache/bepasty
Finally, start Bepasty using the following commands:
sudo bepasty-server init
sudo systemctl start bepasty-server
sudo systemctl enable bepasty-server
If you have a firewall enabled on your server, you need to allow traffic to the Bepasty server. Run the following command to allow traffic on port 8800:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8800/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Bepasty should now be up and running on your Fedora Server. Access the Bepasty web interface by opening your web browser and visiting http://your-server-ip:8800.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Bepasty on a Fedora Server. Bepasty is a simple and secure file sharing solution that you can use to share files with your team or clients over the internet.
