Cloudbox is a self-hosted cloud storage platform that allows you to store and access your files from any device with an internet connection. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install Cloudbox on a NetBSD system.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
To run Cloudbox on NetBSD, we need to install the following packages:
To install these packages, run the following command:
pkgin update && pkgin install python-3 git openssl nginx sudo
Next, we need to clone the Cloudbox repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Cloudbox/Cloudbox.git
This will create a new folder called Cloudbox in your current directory.
Before we can start Cloudbox, we need to configure it. Navigate to the Cloudbox directory and copy the example configuration file:
cd Cloudbox
cp env.example env
Edit the env file using your preferred text editor and modify the following variables:
DOMAIN: The domain name or IP address you want to use for your Cloudbox instance.TZ: Your timezone, for example: America/New_York.PUID: Your user ID. You can find this by running id -u in the command line.PGID: Your group ID. You can find this by running id -g in the command line.UID_START: The starting UID for the Nextcloud user and group. This can be any number, but it cannot conflict with any existing UIDs.GROUP_START: The starting GID for the Nextcloud group. This can be any number, but it cannot conflict with any existing GIDs.NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS: A comma-separated list of domains or IP addresses that you want to allow access to your Cloudbox instance. By default, this is set to localhost,127.0.0.1.Save and close the env file.
To install and start Cloudbox, run the following command:
sudo python3 cloudbox.py install
This will install all the required packages and start Cloudbox. Once the installation is complete, you can access your Cloudbox instance by navigating to http://your_domain_or_ip in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Cloudbox on a NetBSD system. With Cloudbox, you can easily set up your own self-hosted cloud storage platform and access your files from anywhere with an internet connection.
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!
