xBrowserSync is a bookmark management and synchronization tool, similar to Xmarks or Firefox Sync. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install xBrowserSync on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you will need the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for xBrowserSync. This is done using the following command:
sudo zypper install nodejs git
This command installs NodeJS and Git, which are required to build and run xBrowserSync.
Next, clone the xBrowserSync source code from Github by running the command below:
git clone https://github.com/xBrowserSync/api.git
After downloading the source code, proceed to the xBrowserSync folder:
cd api
Next, run the following command to install xBrowserSync's dependencies:
npm install --production
This command installs all the dependencies required by xBrowserSync.
After installing all the dependencies, the next step is to start the xBrowserSync server. This can be done using the following command:
npm start
This command starts the xBrowserSync server on port 8000.
With the server running, open your web browser and navigate to the xBrowserSync web interface at http://localhost:8000. You should be prompted to set up a new account or log in if you already have one.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured xBrowserSync on your OpenSUSE Latest system. You can now synchronize your bookmarks, history, and other browser data across multiple devices.
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!
