In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install myDrive on OpenSUSE Latest. myDrive is an open-source cloud storage solution that allows users to store their files and access them from anywhere. You can find the source code on the Github repository at https://github.com/subnub/myDrive.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
Open the terminal on your OpenSUSE system. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or through the application launcher.
First, we need to install the required dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo zypper install git python3 python3-pip python3-devel gcc
This will install the Git version control system, Python3, PIP (Python package manager), and other required packages.
Next, we need to clone the myDrive repository from Github. Run the following command to do this:
git clone https://github.com/subnub/myDrive.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the myDrive directory using the following command:
cd myDrive
Install the required Python packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now we need to create a configuration file for myDrive. Run the following command to do this:
cp mydrive.conf.sample mydrive.conf
Edit the mydrive.conf file to suit your needs by running the following command:
nano mydrive.conf
Replace the values with your own.
[general]
host = localhost
port = 5000
basedir = /path/to/myDrive
Finally, we can start the myDrive server by running the following command:
python3 server.py
This will start the server on localhost at port 5000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed myDrive on OpenSUSE Latest. You can access myDrive by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.
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!
