Drift is a command-line tool that allows you to track and manage changes to your files over time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Drift on OpenBSD.
Before you can install Drift, you need to install a few dependencies. These can be installed using the OpenBSD package manager, 'pkg_add'.
sudo pkg_add git
sudo pkg_add go
sudo pkg_add curl
You can download the Drift source code by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git
This will download the Drift source code from the official GitHub repository.
Navigate to the Drift directory that was just cloned in step 2.
cd drift
Now, you need to build and install Drift. You can do this with the following command:
./install
This command will build the Drift binary, and then install it to the system. Once installed, you can use Drift by typing the following command into your terminal:
drift
You can verify that Drift has been installed correctly by printing the version number of Drift:
drift version
If Drift has been installed correctly, you should see the version number printed in the terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Drift on OpenBSD. You can now start using Drift to track and manage changes to your files.
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!
