UrBackup is an open source client/server backup system that allows you to backup your data securely and efficiently. Here's a tutorial on how to install UrBackup on Linux Mint.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to download the UrBackup package from the official website. UrBackup has both server and client components that can be downloaded separately. For this tutorial, we will be installing the UrBackup server package. You can download it using the following command:
wget https://hndl.urbackup.org/Server/2.5.13/urbackup-server_2.5.13_amd64.deb
UrBackup requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. We can install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt-get install libcrypto++6 libfuse2 libsqlite3-0 openssl -y
Once we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed to install UrBackup. Use the following command to install UrBackup:
sudo dpkg -i urbackup-server_2.5.13_amd64.deb
After installation, we need to start the UrBackup service using the following command:
sudo service urbackup-server start
UrBackup comes with a web interface that can be accessed on your web browser. Open your web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:
http://localhost:55414/
You will be prompted to enter your login credentials. Use the following default credentials:
Username: admin
Password: password
By following these simple steps, you should now have a running instance of UrBackup on your Linux Mint machine. You can configure it as per your requirements and start backing up your data securely.
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!
