Updog is a command line tool that allows you to share files and directories over HTTP. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Updog on OpenBSD.
pkg_add command is available on your system. This command is used to install packages on OpenBSD. To check if it is available, run the following command:pkg_add -v
If the command returns a version number, it means that pkg_add is installed on your system. If not, you can install it using the command:
sudo pkg_add pkg_add
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to install Updog.
Clone the Updog repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog.git
cd updog
sudo pkg_add go
make
sudo make install
updog -v
If everything is installed correctly, you should see the version number of Updog displayed in the terminal.
Once Updog is installed, you can start using it to share files and directories over HTTP. To start sharing a file, navigate to the directory where the file is located in the terminal and run the following command:
updog <filename>
This will start a local HTTP server that you can use to share the file. You can access the file using a web browser by entering the URL http://localhost:9090.
That's it! You have successfully installed Updog on your OpenBSD system. You can now start sharing files and directories over HTTP.
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!
