How to install myDrive on OpenBSD

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install myDrive on OpenBSD from https://github.com/subnub/myDrive.

Prerequisites

• OpenBSD 6.3 or higher.
• git should be installed.

Steps

1. Update the packages using the following command:

   $ doas pkg_add -u
   

2. Install the dependencies using the following command:

   $ doas pkg_add -i go mariadb-server mariadb-client
   

3. Create a new database for myDrive using mariadb:

   $ doas mysql_install_db
   $ doas mysqld_safe &
   $ doas mysql -u root -p
       mysql> CREATE DATABASE mydrive;
       mysql> GRANT ALL ON mydrive.* TO 'mydrive'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
       mysql> \q
   

4. Clone the myDrive repository from GitHub:

   $ git clone https://github.com/subnub/myDrive.git
   

5. Build the go code:

   $ cd myDrive
   $ go build
   

6. Create a new configuration file myDrive.toml:

   [Server]
   Port = ":3000"
   Datastore = "mariadb"
   MariaDBUser = "mydrive"
   MariaDBPass = "password"
   MariaDBHost = "localhost"
   MariaDBDBName = "mydrive"
   

7. Start the server:

   $ ./myDrive
   

The server should now be running on http://localhost:3000. You can visit http://localhost:3000 to access myDrive.

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!
