Bepasty is an open-source file hosting and sharing server that allows users to upload and share files of any type and size securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Bepasty on OpenBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Bepasty on your OpenBSD server by running the following command:
sudo pip install bepasty-server
This will install the latest version of Bepasty on your OpenBSD machine.
Once Bepasty is installed, you need to create a configuration file. Execute this command to create the file:
nano /etc/bepasty.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
[general]
directory = /srv/bepasty # Define the directory for storing uploaded files.
acl_upload = anonymous:rw, authenticated:rw, admin:rw # Define the access control list for uploading files.
acl_download = anonymous:r, authenticated:r, admin:rw # Define the access control list for downloading files.
Save and close the file.
To start the Bepasty server, run the following command:
bepasty-server
This will start the Bepasty server. By default, it listens on port 8080.
If you want to change the port, append that port number to the command, like this:
bepasty-server 8000
This will start the server on port 8000.
To test if the Bepasty server is working correctly, open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://your_ip_address:8080/
Replace your_ip_address with the IP address of your OpenBSD machine.
You should see the Bepasty web interface, where you can upload, download, and manage files.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Bepasty on an OpenBSD server. You can now use Bepasty to share files with your team or friends securely.
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!
