In this tutorial, we will be discussing the installation of Cloudbox on OpenSUSE latest version. Cloudbox is an all-in-one cloud media solution that runs on top of Docker and provides various services like Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, and more.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install Git, which is used to clone the Cloudbox repository. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install git
Now, use Git to clone the Cloudbox repository to your desired location:
git clone https://github.com/cloudbox/cloudbox.git ~/cloudbox
Navigate to the Cloudbox directory:
cd ~/cloudbox
Then, copy the .env.sample file to .env:
cp .env.sample .env
Open the .env file in your text editor and customize the values as per your requirements:
nano .env
Create a new user with the name cloudbox:
sudo useradd -d /home/cloudbox -m -s /bin/bash -U cloudbox
Grant the cloudbox user permission to execute docker by adding it to the docker group:
sudo usermod -aG docker cloudbox
Now, run the installation script by executing the following command:
sed -i 's/\r//g' install.cloudbox.sh && chmod +x install.cloudbox.sh && ./install.cloudbox.sh
It will take some time to complete the installation process. Once the process is completed, you will see a message indicating that the installation was successful. The message will also show you how to access the web interface.
Open a web browser and navigate to the following address:
http://<SERVER-IP>:<PORT>/cloudbox/
Replace <SERVER-IP> and <PORT> with the IP address and port number of your server.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Cloudbox on OpenSUSE latest version. You can now use it to manage your media files and enjoy your favorite shows and movies on any device.
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!
