Uguu is a free and open-source file-sharing service that allows you to upload and share files easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Uguu on POP! OS Latest.
Before you proceed with the installation of Uguu on your system, you need to have the following prerequisites installed:
Uguu requires a web server to function properly. In this tutorial, we will be using the Apache web server. To install Apache on POP! OS, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
After the installation is complete, start the Apache service and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
Uguu is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP on your system. To install PHP on POP! OS, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring
After the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Uguu is hosted on GitHub, so you need to install Git on your system to clone the Uguu repository. To install Git on POP! OS, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install git
After the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:
git --version
To install Uguu, you need to clone the Uguu repository to your system. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/nokonoko/Uguu.git
This will clone the Uguu repository to the current directory.
After cloning the Uguu repository, navigate to the Uguu directory using the following command:
cd Uguu
Inside the Uguu directory, you will find a file named config.inc.php.example. Copy this file to config.inc.php using the following command:
cp config.inc.php.example config.inc.php
Open the config.inc.php file using a text editor:
nano config.inc.php
Inside the config.inc.php file, modify the following lines:
$config['delete_key'] = 'uguu'; // The delete key. Anyone with this key can delete files.
$config['upload_dir'] = '/var/www/html/uguu/files/'; // The directory where you want files to be uploaded.
$config['base_url'] = 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/'; // The base URL where Uguu is hosted.
Change the values according to your requirements.
After configuring Uguu, you need to upload it to your web server. To do so, copy the entire Uguu directory to your web server's root directory using the following command:
sudo cp -r . /var/www/html/uguu/
This will copy the entire directory to /var/www/html/uguu/.
To allow Uguu to upload files to the upload_dir directory, you need to set the correct file permissions. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/uguu/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/uguu/
After completing all the above steps, you should be able to access Uguu by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS/uguu/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Uguu on your POP! OS Latest system. You can now upload and share files using Uguu.
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!
