WebUI-aria2 is a web interface for aria2, a lightweight multi-protocol and multi-source download utility. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install WebUI-aria2 on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing WebUI-aria2, ensure that the following is installed on your Kali Linux system:
sudo apt-get install aria2
First, you need to download the WebUI-aria2 package from its official website. You can download the package using the following command in your Kali Linux terminal:
wget https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2/releases/download/latest/webui-aria2-latest.zip
After downloading the WebUI-aria2 package, extract it using the following command:
unzip webui-aria2-latest.zip
This command will extract the contents of the webui-aria2-latest.zip file to a new directory named webui-aria2-latest.
Now it's time to copy the webui-aria2-latest directory to aria2 configuration folder. The location of the aria2 configuration folder is /etc/aria2/.
sudo cp -r webui-aria2-latest /etc/aria2/
To configure WebUI-aria2, open the aria2.conf file in a text editor.
sudo nano /etc/aria2/aria2.conf
Add the following line at the end of the aria2.conf file:
enable-rpc=true
rpc-listen-all=true
rpc-allow-origin-all=true
rpc-secret=<your_secret_key>
Make sure to replace <your_secret_key> with a secret key of your choice. This secret key is used to authenticate the WebUI-aria2 interface, and it is recommended that it is a long and complex string.
To start aria2, use the following command:
sudo systemctl start aria2
To start WebUI-aria2, use the following command:
sudo /usr/bin/x-www-browser http://localhost:6800/webui-aria2/
This will open the WebUI-aria2 interface in your default browser. If you are accessing the interface from a different machine, replace localhost with the IP address of the Kali Linux system.
In this tutorial, we showed how to install WebUI-aria2 on Kali Linux Latest. Once installed, you can use the interface to manage your downloads and monitor their progress.
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!
