DragonFly is a free, open-source, cross-platform data migration application developed by CoreCode. It allows you to easily move data from one location to another while keeping track of all changes made during the migration process.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install DragonFly on Ubuntu Server latest version.
Before installing DragonFly, you need to install some required dependencies on your Ubuntu server. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool automake autoconf zlib1g-dev libarchive-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
This will download and install all the necessary packages required to compile and install DragonFly on your system.
Once you have installed the dependencies, you can proceed to clone the DragonFly repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/corecode/dma.git
This will download the latest version of DragonFly in a directory named dma.
Now that you have downloaded the DragonFly repository, you can compile and install it using the following commands:
cd dma
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will configure, compile, and install DragonFly on your Ubuntu server.
You can verify that DragonFly has been installed successfully by running the dma command in your terminal:
dma --version
This will print the DragonFly version installed on your system.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install DragonFly on Ubuntu Server latest version. Now you can use DragonFly to easily migrate data from one location to another.
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!
