How to Install Goploader on Fedora Server Latest

Goploader is a fast and lightweight file-sharing tool written in Go. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Goploader on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Goploader, make sure that you have:

• A Fedora Server Latest instance running with root privileges.
• Access to the internet to download the necessary packages.

Step 1: Install system packages

To install Goploader, we need to install some system packages first. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf install git certbot certbot-nginx nginx golang

This command will install Git, Certbot, Nginx, and Golang on your system.

Step 2: Clone the Goploader repository

Now, we need to clone the Goploader repository from Github. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Depado/goploader.git

This command will download the Goploader source code to your current directory.

Step 3: Install Goploader

After cloning the repository, navigate to the Goploader directory using the following command:

cd goploader

Now, we can build and install Goploader using the following command:

sudo make install

This command will build the binary and copy it to /usr/local/bin/ directory.

Step 4: Configure Nginx and SSL

By default, Goploader listens on port 8080. To make Goploader accessible over HTTPS, we need to configure Nginx and generate an SSL certificate using Certbot.

Configure Nginx

Open the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf using your favorite text editor and add the following configuration block under the http section:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name YOUR_DOMAIN; # change YOUR_DOMAIN to your domain name

    location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
        root /var/www/letsencrypt;
        default_type "text/plain";
    }

    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name YOUR_DOMAIN; # change YOUR_DOMAIN to your domain name

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/fullchain.pem; # change YOUR_DOMAIN to your domain name
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/privkey.pem; # change YOUR_DOMAIN to your domain name

    location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    }
}

Save the file and exit the editor.

Generate SSL certificate using Certbot

Run the following command to generate an SSL certificate using Certbot:

sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d YOUR_DOMAIN # change YOUR_DOMAIN to your domain name

Follow the prompts to generate the SSL certificate.

Step 5: Start Goploader

Now, we can start Goploader using the following command:

./goploader

Open your web browser and navigate to https://YOUR_DOMAIN. You should see the Goploader web interface.

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Goploader on Fedora Server Latest and configure it to use HTTPS. With Goploader, you can quickly and easily share files securely with others.
