Void is a decentralized and permissionless peer-to-peer file-sharing platform that allows users to share files without relying on centralized servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Void on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we proceed, we need to make sure that some required dependencies are installed on our system. To do this, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev build-essential
This will update the package repositories on your system and install the necessary dependencies.
Next, we need to clone the Void repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void.git
This will clone the Void repository to your current working directory.
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the directory where it was cloned and build the Void binary by running the following commands:
cd Void
make -f makefile.unix
This will build the Void binary.
In order to properly run Void, you need to configure your firewall to allow incoming connections on the port that Void uses to communicate with other nodes. By default, this port is 25252.
To allow incoming connections on this port, run the following command:
sudo ufw allow 25252
Now that your firewall is configured and the Void binary has been built, you can run Void by executing the following command:
./voidd
This will start the Void daemon.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Void on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine. You can now start sharing files on the decentralized and peer-to-peer platform.
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!
