Cloudbox is a one-click server software installation script that allows you to easily set up a fully functional server for your media streaming needs. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Cloudbox on a Manjaro system.
Before we begin, ensure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Cloudbox is hosted on GitHub, hence we need to install the Git tool to download the installation script. Run the following command in the terminal to install Git:
sudo pacman -S git
Clone the Cloudbox repository to a local directory on your Manjaro system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/cloudbox/cloudbox.git ~/cloudbox
Change the directory to the cloned Cloudbox folder using the following command:
cd ~/cloudbox
Run the installation script using the following command:
./cloudbox setup
The script will prompt you for the server hostname, IP address, and other information required for the installation process. Provide the necessary information and continue with the installation.
Once the Cloudbox installation is complete, you can access it through the server's IP address or domain name. Open a web browser on a different device and enter the following URL:
http://<server-ip>:8000
You will see the Cloudbox login screen. Use the username and password you provided during the installation process to log in and start managing your media server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cloudbox on Manjaro. Now you can start adding content to your media server and streaming your favorite movies, TV shows, or music from anywhere. Enjoy!
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!
