Cagette is an open-source peer-to-peer file-sharing tool that allows users to share files and folders with other users securely. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Cagette on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Open the terminal on your NetBSD machine.
Install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pkgin update && sudo pkgin install -y py37-pip py37-sqlite3
Once the dependencies are installed, run the following command to install Cagette:
sudo pip3.7 install cagette
This command will download and install Cagette onto your NetBSD machine.
Finally, to start Cagette, run the following command:
cagette
This will start the Cagette service on your NetBSD machine.
Once Cagette is installed and running, you can start sharing files and folders with other Cagette users by following these steps:
Open Cagette by running the cagette command.
In the Cagette window, click on the "Add Folder" button and select the folder that you want to share.
Click on the "Connect" button to connect to other Cagette users.
Once connected, your shared folder will be visible to the other users connected to your network.
You can download files shared by other users by clicking on the "Download" button next to the file.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Cagette on your NetBSD machine.
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!
