Send is a lightweight and simple file-sharing tool that allows you to share files and folders quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we will go through the installation process of Send on FreeBSD latest.
Before you start the installation of Send, you need to ensure that your server has the required dependencies installed. These dependencies include Node.js and npm.
You can install Node.js and npm using the following command:
sudo pkg install node npm
The first step in installing Send is to clone the repository from Github. You can achieve this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/timvisee/send
Once the cloning process is complete, change into the Send directory by running the following command:
cd send
Now that you're in the Send directory, it's time to install Send and its dependencies. You can achieve this by running the following command:
npm install
Once the installation process is complete, you can start Send using the following command:
npm start
By default, Send listens on port 8000. To access Send, visit http://your-server-ip-address:8000 using your web browser.
That's it! You have now successfully installed and started Send on your FreeBSD server. You can now start sharing files and folders using Send.
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!
