Lufi is a free and open-source file-sharing server that allows users to share large files securely without relying on third-party file hosting services. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Lufi on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Lufi relies on several packages to function correctly. Therefore, open the terminal and update your Fedora server package repository by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Then, install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo dnf install git wget openssl-devel gcc perl perl-FCGI perl-DBD-SQLite perl-Digest-SHA perl-DateTime perl-Path-Tiny perl-Net-SSLeay perl-Email-Valid perl-JSON-XS perl-URI::Escape perl-TimeDate curl
Next, you need to clone the Lufi Git repository by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://framagit.org/fiat-tux/hat-softwares/lufi.git /var/www/lufi
Once the repository has been cloned, change the ownership of the lufi folder to the web server user apache by running the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/lufi
Then, navigate to the lufi directory and copy the lufi.conf.template file to lufi.conf:
cd /var/www/lufi
sudo cp lufi.conf.template lufi.conf
Open the configuration file lufi.conf in your favorite editor:
sudo nano lufi.conf
Customize the configuration as per your requirements. For instance, you can change the hostname parameter, the default upload_path, and other options.
Save and close the file.
Before we can start Lufi, we need to install some Perl modules that Lufi depends on. Install these dependencies by running the following command:
cd /var/www/lufi
./bin/mkminimal.pl --installdeps
Finally, you can start the Lufi service by running the following command:
cd /var/www/lufi
./bin/lufi_fastcgi.pl
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Lufi on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start uploading, sharing, and downloading large files securely. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know!
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!
