Filestash is an open-source web-based file manager that allows you to organize, share, and access files from any device. Here's a step-by-step guide to install Filestash on Kali Linux:
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal on your Kali Linux system and type the following command to download and run the Filestash Docker image:
sudo docker run -d --name filestash -p 8888:8888 -v filestash:/data filestash/filestash
This will download the Filestash Docker image and run it in detached mode. You can also use the --restart always option to ensure that Filestash starts automatically whenever your system reboots.
Open your preferred web browser and enter http://localhost:8888 in the address bar. This will open the Filestash web interface on your local machine.
If you want to access Filestash from another device on your network, replace localhost with your Kali Linux system's IP address.
Once you have access to Filestash, you will need to create a user account to start using it. Click on the "Create an account" button on the login page to start the process.
Enter your email address and password, then click on the "Create account" button. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to verify your email address.
Once you have successfully created your account, you can start uploading and managing your files in Filestash. You can upload files by dragging and dropping them into the web interface, or by clicking on the upload icon.
Filestash also allows you to manage your files with features like renaming, moving, deleting, and sharing. You can also view and edit some file formats directly in Filestash, such as images and text files.
Filestash is a robust file manager designed to help you manage and share files easily. With this tutorial, you can now install Filestash on your Kali Linux system and start using it to manage your files.
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!
