How to Install Updog on NetBSD

Updog is an open-source tool that lets you share files easily over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Updog on NetBSD.

Before starting the installation process, make sure that your NetBSD system is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo pkgin update

Once your NetBSD system is updated, you can proceed with the installation process.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

To install Updog, we need to install two dependencies first. These dependencies are go and git. You can install them using the following command:

sudo pkgin install go git

Step 2: Clone the Updog Repository

After installing the required dependencies, we need to clone the Updog repository from Github. Open your terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git

Step 3: Build and Install Updog

Now that we have cloned the Updog repository, we need to build and install it. Move into the cloned repository directory by running:

cd updog

Next, run the following command to build and install Updog:

make install

Step 4: Verify Installation

Finally, we just need to verify that Updog has been installed successfully. Run the following command:

updog -v

If Updog is installed successfully, you should see the version number displayed in the terminal.

That's it! You have successfully installed Updog on your NetBSD system. You can now start using Updog to share files over the internet.

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!
