Picsur is an open-source image hosting software that allows you to easily host your images and share them with others. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Picsur on Manjaro Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Git is a version control system that is used to manage software projects, including Picsur. To install Git, open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
You will be prompted to enter your user password. Once you enter your password, Git will be installed on your system.
Next, we will clone the Picsur repository from Github. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rubikscraft/Picsur.git
This will create a copy of the Picsur repository in a new directory called "Picsur" in your current working directory.
Picsur has a number of dependencies that must be installed before it can run. To install the required dependencies, open a terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo pacman -S go
sudo pacman -S sqlite
sudo pacman -S libjpeg-turbo
sudo pacman -S zlib
sudo pacman -S libpng
sudo pacman -S imagemagick
Now that we have cloned the Picsur repository and installed its dependencies, we can proceed to build and install the application. To do this, open a terminal and navigate to the "Picsur" directory that we cloned earlier using the following command:
cd Picsur
Next, run the following command to build the application:
go build
This will generate an executable file called "Picsur" in the current directory. To install the application, run the following command:
sudo ./Picsur install
This will install Picsur as a system service and start the application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Picsur on Manjaro Linux. To access the application, open a web browser and go to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/
You should see the Picsur homepage, where you can upload and manage your images.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Picsur on Manjaro Linux. Once you have installed Picsur, you can use it to easily host and share your images with others.
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!
