TahoeLAFS is a free and open-source distributed file storage system. It is designed to provide secure and reliable file storage, with strong privacy and encryption features. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TahoeLAFS on Manjaro Linux.
Before you begin, you should have the following:
To install TahoeLAFS, first, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S gcc swig openssl-dev libffi-dev python-pip
This command will install the necessary packages required for the installation.
After installing the dependencies, we can now install TahoeLAFS. To do that, follow these steps:
Open your terminal and run the following command to install TahoeLAFS:
sudo pip install tahoe-lafs
Once the installation is complete, we need to create a Tahoe-LAFS node. To create a node, run the following command:
tahoe create-node
You will be prompted to enter a nickname for the node. Enter any name you like and press enter.
Next, you will be prompted to enter a storage directory path. This is where your node will store your data. Enter any path you like (e.g. ~/tahoe-lafs/storage) and press enter.
Finally, you will be prompted to enter a web port and an introducer. For now, you can press enter to accept the default values.
Your Tahoe-LAFS node is now created, and you can start it by running the following command:
tahoe start
To access the web interface of your Tahoe-LAFS node, open a web browser and go to the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:3456/
You should now see the Tahoe-LAFS web interface, where you can create and manage your Tahoe-LAFS share.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Tahoe-LAFS on Manjaro Linux. Now you can start using this secure and reliable file storage system for all your file storage needs.
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!
