How to Install Etebase (EteSync) on OpenSUSE

Etebase is an open-source end-to-end encrypted backend service, which allows you to build secure and privacy-respecting applications. It is based on the EteSync protocol which is a combination of various existing encryption standards like GPG, OpenPGP, and more.

Etebase allows you to store, sync, and share your data like contacts, calendars, and notes securely. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Etebase (EteSync) on OpenSUSE Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that you have the following:

• A running instance of OpenSUSE Linux Distribution
• A sudo user account with root access
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we install the Etebase package, we need to install the dependencies upon which it depends. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper install -y git make cmake gcc-c++ qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-linguist qt5-qtdeclarative-devel qt5-qtxmlpatterns-devel cryptopp-devel openssl-devel libcryptopp-devel

Step 2: Install Etebase

Once we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed to install the Etebase package by following the steps below:

1. First, clone the Etebase repository by running the command below:

   git clone https://github.com/etesync/etesync-web.git
   

2. Change to the cloned directory by running the command below:

Step 3: Running Etebase

Once the installation is complete, you can run the Etebase program by executing the command below:

etesync-web

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Etebase on your OpenSUSE Linux distribution. Now you can start using the Etebase program to store, sync, and share your data 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!
