Pomf is an open-source, simple and lightweight file host that allows you to upload and share files quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Pomf on MXLinux Latest.
Before installing Pomf, make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Next, we need to install some required packages for Pomf. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install git ruby ruby-dev build-essential zlib1g-dev ffmpeg -y
Now, we need to get Pomf's source code. We'll use Git to clone the repository to our system. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Pomf/Pomf.git
This command will create a new directory called "Pomf" in the current working directory, which will contain the source code of Pomf.
Navigate to the "Pomf" directory:
cd Pomf
Install the required Ruby gems:
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install
Lastly, we need to run Pomf's setup script:
sudo ruby pomf.rb
This will install Pomf on your system and start its web interface on port 3000.
By default, Pomf stores files in the "public" directory under its installation directory. You can modify the configuration by editing the "config.ru" file in the Pomf directory.
You can also change the upload limit and other settings in the "pomf.rb" file.
Now that you have Pomf installed and configured, you can start uploading files. To upload a file, simply go to http://localhost:3000/upload and select the file you want to upload.
After uploading, you'll be given a short URL that you can share with your friends or use to download your file later.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Pomf on MXLinux Latest. Now you can easily upload and share your files online. If you encounter any issues during the installation or configuration process, don't hesitate to refer to Pomf's documentation or seek help from their community.
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!
