Dat Project is a decentralized data sharing tool that allows users to share data securely and privately. It can be installed on Ubuntu Server Latest easily by following the steps outlined below.
Node.js and npm are required to install and run Dat Project. You can install them using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Once node.js and npm are installed, you can install Dat using the following command:
sudo npm install -g dat
This command installs Dat globally, which means that it will be available to all users on the server.
After the installation is complete, you can verify it by checking the version of Dat using the following command:
dat --version
This command should output the version of Dat that you just installed.
To create a Dat archive, you need to navigate to the directory where you want to create the archive and run the following command:
dat init
This command initializes a new Dat archive in the current directory.
Once the archive is created, you can share it with others by running the following command:
dat share
This command starts a server that allows others to access the Dat archive. The server will provide you with a URL that you can share with others.
That's it! You've successfully installed and set up Dat Project on your Ubuntu Server. Now you can create and share Dat archives securely and privately.
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!
