WebUI-aria2 is a web-based interface for the popular aria2 download client. It enables you to manage your downloads from anywhere using any device that has a web browser. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing WebUI-aria2 on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, ensure you have the following:
The first step is to install the aria2 download client. To do this, open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo zypper install aria2
This will install the aria2 package on your server.
Next, you will need to download WebUI-aria2 from the official GitHub repository. To do this, open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2/archive/master.tar.gz -o webui-aria2.tar.gz
This will download WebUI-aria2 into a compressed file on your server.
Now that you have downloaded the WebUI-aria2 archive, you need to extract its contents. To do this, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo tar -xzvf webui-aria2.tar.gz -C /usr/share/
This will extract the WebUI-aria2 files and copy them to the /usr/share/ directory on your server.
You need to configure aria2 to enable the WebUI-aria2 interface. To do this, create a configuration file for aria2 by entering the following command in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/aria2.conf
This will open the nano text editor. Go to the bottom of the file and add the following lines:
# Enable RPC interface
enable-rpc=true
# Set RPC listening port
rpc-listen-port=6800
# Set RPC secret token
rpc-secret=<your_secret_token>
Replace <your_secret_token> with a unique secret token to protect your WebUI-aria2 interface. Save the file and exit the text editor.
Now that you have configured aria2, start the aria2 service by entering the following command in your terminal:
sudo systemctl start aria2
This will start the aria2 service on your server.
You can now access WebUI-aria2 by opening a web browser and navigating to your server's IP address, followed by the default port number of 6800. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.1.100, enter the following URL:
http://192.168.1.100:6800/
Enter the secret token you set in Step 4 to log in to the WebUI-aria2 interface.
To ensure aria2 and WebUI-aria2 start automatically when the server boots, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo systemctl enable aria2
This will enable the aria2 service to start automatically on startup.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured WebUI-aria2 on OpenSUSE Latest. Enjoy your seamless downloading experience!
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!
