PicoShare is a peer-to-peer file-sharing platform developed by Pico. It allows users to share files securely and privately without having to go through a centralized server. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install PicoShare on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To install PicoShare, we first need to install the following dependencies:
Open your terminal or SSH client and run the following command to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo pkg install node npm
After installing the dependencies, we can now proceed with the installation of PicoShare. Follow these steps:
wget https://github.com/picoxr/picoshare/releases/latest/download/picoshare.zip
unzip picoshare.zip
cd picoshare-*
npm install
Now that we have installed PicoShare, we can start the server by running the following command:
npm start
Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000 to access the PicoShare web interface. If you want other users to access your PicoShare instance, you will need to configure your firewall and port forwarding rules accordingly.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install PicoShare on FreeBSD Latest. You can now securely and privately share files with your peers using this decentralized 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!
