Peergos is a decentralized, peer-to-peer file storage and sharing platform that provides end-to-end encryption of files. This tutorial aims to guide you through the installation of Peergos on OpenSUSE latest.
To install Peergos on OpenSUSE, you will need:
Before installing Peergos, we need to install some dependencies required for the software to function correctly. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install curl git gnupg wget java-11-openjdk java-11-openjdk-headless npm
This command installs the following packages:
curl - for transferring data with URLsgit - for version control of source codegnupg - for verification of digital signatureswget - for downloading files from the webjava-11-openjdk and java-11-openjdk-headless - for running Java-based applicationsnpm - for managing Node.js packagesPeergos is built on Node.js, so we need to install Node.js and npm to run the Peergos software. Follow the below command to install Node.js and npm:
sudo zypper install nodejs14 nodejs14-devel nodejs14-npm
This command installs Node.js version 14, which is the latest stable version available.
You can download the latest Peergos release from the Peergos website at https://peergos.org. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version:
wget https://github.com/peergos/peergos/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
This command downloads the latest release of Peergos as a zip file.
To install Peergos, we need to first unzip the downloaded file. Use the following command to unzip the file:
unzip main.zip
This command unzips the Peergos files into a directory called peergos-main.
Go to the peergos-main directory using the following command:
cd peergos-main
Finally, to install Peergos, run the following command:
npm install -g
This command installs Peergos globally on your system.
To start Peergos, run the following command:
peergos
This command starts Peergos, and you should see output similar to the following:
Peergos server started on https://localhost:8080/
Login to your account at https://localhost:8080/login.html
Admin account: admin, password: password
You can now access the Peergos web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to https://localhost:8080/login.html.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Peergos on your OpenSUSE instance. You can now use Peergos to securely store and share files with end-to-end encryption. If you encounter any issues along the way, feel free to refer to the Peergos documentation for more information.
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!
