Lufi is an open source file hosting software that allows users to upload and share files securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Lufi on MXLinux Latest using the command line installation method.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
Lufi requires several dependencies to be installed on your system before it can be installed. To do so, open a terminal window and execute the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential git perl libssl-dev libnginx-mod-http-perl
This command will install essential compiling tools, git, perl, and SSL libraries required by Lufi.
After installing the required dependencies, navigate to the tmp directory by running:
cd /tmp
Next, clone Lufi's repository to your local system using the following command:
git clone https://framagit.org/fiat-tux/hat-softwares/lufi.git
Lufi's repository will be cloned into a new directory named lufi/.
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the lufi directory:
cd lufi
Next, run the following command to install Lufi:
sudo make install
This will install Lufi on your system, which might take a few minutes.
Finally, you need to install Lufi's dependencies with this command:
sudo cpanm --installdeps .
The cpanm command will automatically install all required Perl modules for Lufi.
After installing Lufi, you need to configure Nginx. Create a new server block configuration file for Nginx using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/lufi.conf
And paste the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
location /socket.io {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/socket.io;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/lufi.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/lufi.error.log;
}
Make sure to modify the listen, server_name, access_log, and error_log parameters according to your environment.
After saving the configuration file, create a symbolic link between the sites-available and sites-enabled directories:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/lufi.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Reload the Nginx configuration:
sudo systemctl reload nginx
And start Lufi:
lufi
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Lufi on MXLinux Latest using the command line! Now, you can upload and share files securely using your new file hosting software.
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!
