Updog is an easy-to-use, lightweight HTTP file server that can be hosted on your local machine. It provides a simple web interface that allows users to upload and download files quickly and easily. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Updog on FreeBSD Latest:
Before installing Updog, make sure that the necessary dependencies are installed. This includes "git", "go", and "jq". You can install these with the following commands:
sudo pkg install git
sudo pkg install go
sudo pkg install jq
Clone the Updog repository onto your machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git
Next, navigate to the Updog directory using the following command:
cd updog
Now, build and install Updog by running the following command:
sudo make install
Updog is now installed on your FreeBSD Latest machine!
By default, Updog listens on port 9090. If you would like to change the port or enable HTTPS, you can do so by modifying the updog.cfg configuration file. This file is located in the Updog directory.
To enable HTTPS, you will need to provide an SSL certificate and key. These can be either self-signed or purchased from a trusted certificate authority. Once you have obtained your certificate and key, update the updog.cfg file with the following lines:
sslCertPath = /path/to/cert.pem
sslKeyPath = /path/to/key.pem
Replace /path/to/cert.pem and /path/to/key.pem with the paths to your SSL certificate and key files, respectively.
To start Updog, run the following command:
updog
Updog will now be running on the configured port, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:9090 (or the configured port).
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install and configure Updog on FreeBSD Latest. With its simple and intuitive web interface, Updog provides an easy way to share files with others on your local network.
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!
