In this tutorial, we will show you how to install myDrive, a self-hosted cloud storage application, on Linux Mint. The myDrive application allows you to create your own personal cloud storage, similar to Dropbox or Google Drive.
Before you can install myDrive, you need to install some dependencies that are required for its proper functioning.
To install these packages, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl git nano
To download myDrive from Github, go to your terminal and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/subnub/myDrive
This will clone the myDrive repository to your local machine.
Before we can run myDrive, we need to install the dependencies that it requires. Go to the myDrive directory by running the following command on the terminal:
cd myDrive
Now, execute the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo ./setup.py
After you've installed all the dependencies, you can start myDrive by running the following command:
./start.sh
Once the server has started, you can access the myDrive application by opening your web browser and typing in the following address in the address bar:
http://localhost:8888/
You should now be able to see the myDrive login page.
To set up myDrive for the first time, follow these steps:
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8888/ to access the myDrive login page.
Click the "Sign up" button to create a new user account.
Enter your desired username and password, and click the "Create User" button.
After creating your account, you'll be redirected to the myDrive dashboard, where you can manage your files and folders.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install myDrive on Linux Mint. With myDrive, you can store and manage your files on your own cloud storage. We hope you found this tutorial helpful.
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!
