Peergos is a decentralized file storage and sharing platform that runs on top of a distributed network of servers, powered by IPFS and Ethereum. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Peergos on NetBSD.
Step 1: Open the terminal on your NetBSD device.
Step 2: Install the required dependencies for Peergos. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pkgin install openjdk8 curl
This command will install Java SE Development Kit 8 and curl.
Step 3: Download the latest Peergos release from the official website (https://peergos.org). You can use the curl command to download the file, as shown below:
curl -L https://github.com/Peergos/Peergos/releases/download/vx.y.z/Peergos.jar -o Peergos.jar
Note: Replace “x.y.z” keyword with the latest Peergos release number.
Step 4: After downloading the file, navigate to the directory where the file is saved. In the terminal, use the cd command to move to the folder. For example:
cd ~/Downloads/
Step 5: Start Peergos by running the following command:
java -jar Peergos.jar
This command will start the Peergos server. Wait for a few minutes until the server finishes initializing.
Step 6: Open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to access the Peergos web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Peergos on your NetBSD device. You can now use Peergos to store and share files on the distributed network.
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!
