Syndie is a peer-to-peer application designed to help its users communicate and share files securely. It has several privacy features, including a decentralized architecture that allows users to remain anonymous while sharing data. If you're interested in using Syndie on your OpenSUSE system, you're in luck. This tutorial will walk you through the installation process.
Before we get started, make sure that you have the following:
Syndie is written in Java, so you'll need to have a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed on your system. Here's how you can do that:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install java-11-openjdk
Next, you'll need to download the latest version of Syndie from their official website at https://syndie.de/download.html. Choose the appropriate version for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
wget https://syndie.de/files/Syndie_(version)-(architecture).deb
Syndie is distributed as a Debian package, so you'll need to install Alien, a program that allows you to convert Debian packages into RPM packages. To install Alien, run:
sudo zypper install alien
Now that you have Alien installed, it's time to convert the downloaded Debian package into an RPM package. To do that, run:
sudo alien --to-rpm Syndie_(version)-(architecture).deb
The RPM package for Syndie is now ready for installation. To install it, run:
sudo zypper install Syndie-(version).(architecture).rpm
Syndie is now installed on your OpenSUSE system. To launch it, open a terminal window and run:
syndie
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Syndie on OpenSUSE Latest. Syndie is an excellent tool for communicating and sharing data securely on a decentralized network. With a few simple commands, you can get up and running with Syndie in no time.
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!
