In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step procedure to install Lstu on Kali Linux.
Before getting started, there are a few prerequisites we need to make sure of:
The very first step is to install required dependencies for Lstu. We can use apt-get to install them, run the following command in terminal:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential cpanminus libmojolicious-perl libmojolicious-plugin-renderfile-perl libmojolicious-plugin-status-perl
This command will install all the required dependencies including git, build-essential, cpanminus, libmojolicious-perl, libmojolicious-plugin-renderfile-perl, and libmojolicious-plugin-status-perl.
After installing dependencies, we will clone Lstu Repository from Github using git command.
To clone the Lstu repository, simply run the command in terminal:
git clone https://github.com/ldidry/lstu.git
Next, we need to install Lstu using cpanminus. Navigate to the Lstu folder by running:
cd lstu
Then, install Lstu via cpanminus:
sudo cpanm --installdeps .
This command will install all the remaining dependencies required for Lstu.
After installation is complete, it's time to configure Lstu.
Navigate to the Lstu folder by running:
cd lstu
Copy the sample configuration file:
cp lstu.conf.sample lstu.conf
Edit the configuration file:
nano lstu.conf
Make changes as per your requirement, save the file and exit.
We are now ready to start Lstu. To start it, run the following command:
./lstu daemon
This will start the Lstu server.
Finally, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/. You should be able to see the Lstu web page.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Lstu on Kali Linux. Once installed, we can use Lstu to generate short URLs for our links. Lstu is a handy tool that can be used to share links in a neat and clean way.
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!
