PineDocs is a file hosting and sharing platform built with Flask and MongoDB. It allows users to securely store and share files online.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing PineDocs on Void Linux.
Before installing PineDocs, please ensure that you have the following:
PineDocs requires MongoDB to be installed and running. To install MongoDB on Void Linux, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S mongodb
Once installed, start the MongoDB service:
sudo sv start mongodb
PineDocs is built with Python, hence you need to install Python and Pip. To install Python and Pip on Void Linux, run:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 python3-pip
Now, clone the PineDocs repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/xy2z/PineDocs.git
Change to the PineDocs directory:
cd PineDocs
Install the required Python packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
PineDocs needs to be configured before it can be used. Copy the example configuration file:
cp config.py.example config.py
Edit the config.py file to set your desired configuration options, especially the MongoDB settings.
nano config.py
You can now run PineDocs using the following command:
python3 run.py
This will start the server on port 5000.
You can access the PineDocs web interface by typing http://<your-server-ip>:5000 into your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PineDocs on Void Linux. You can now use PineDocs to securely store and share files online.
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!
