Etebase (EteSync) is a high-security suite that lets you sync all kinds of data across devices. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install Etebase on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
We need to install some packages to ensure that Etebase works seamlessly on POP! OS. Open your Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt install curl ca-certificates
Etebase has its own repository, which we need to add to our system. Enter the following command in your Terminal:
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://deb.etesync.com/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etesync.list
This command adds the Etebase repository to the list of sources in POP! OS.
To ensure that the repository is secure, we need to import the GPG key. Enter the following command in your Terminal:
curl https://deb.etesync.com/etesync.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
We're now ready to install Etebase. Enter the following command in your Terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install etebase
This command updates the list of available packages and installs Etebase on your system.
To check if Etebase is installed correctly, enter the following command in your Terminal:
etebase --version
This command should show you the version of Etebase installed on your system. If you see any errors or if the version is not displayed, go back to Step 4 and ensure that you've followed all the steps correctly.
To start using Etebase, you need to create an account. Use the following command to create a new account:
etebase create-account
This command prompts you to enter a username and password. After you've entered the details, you'll be given an account ID.
You've successfully installed Etebase on your POP! OS system. Now that you have your account, you're ready to start using all the features of Etebase. Happy syncing!
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!
