Cloudbox is an all-in-one server that allows users to access their media from anywhere using various devices. It supports multiple platforms, and it is easy to set up.
This guide explains how to install Cloudbox on your MXLinux latest. Before proceeding, ensure you have a working internet connection, and your system meets the minimum requirements.
Before installing Cloudbox, you need to install the dependencies. Open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
The command updates your system repositories, and it upgrades any outdated software packages.
Cloudbox runs on Docker, so you need to install Docker on your system. Docker is a containerization platform that simplifies the installation of Cloudbox.
To install Docker, run the following command in your terminal:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
The command installs Docker on your system.
After installing Docker, it is time to install Cloudbox. To do that, open your terminal and run the following command:
curl -sSL https://cloudbox.works/install.sh | sudo bash
The command installs Cloudbox on your system.
After installing Cloudbox, you need to configure it. The command highlighted above will create a directory called cloudbox in your home directory. Navigate to that directory by running the following command:
cd ~/cloudbox
In the cloudbox directory, edit the .env file to set your preferences. You can use your favorite editor to accomplish that. Example:
nano .env
In the .env file, you can configure settings such as your domain name, email address, and timezone.
To start Cloudbox, run the following command:
./cloudbox start
The command starts the necessary services and creates the necessary containers.
Once you have started Cloudbox, you can access the web interface by typing your server’s IP address into your web browser. You should see something similar to the following image:
Enter your chosen USERNAME and PASSWORD in the login fields to access the dashboard of Cloudbox.
In conclusion, Cloudbox is an excellent all-in-one server solution that simplifies managing your media files. By following this guide, you should have successfully installed Cloudbox on your MXLinux latest. With proper configuration, you can use Cloudbox to your advantage. Thanks for reading!
