Syncloud is a self-hosted personal cloud platform that can be installed on various devices, including Raspberry Pi and x86-based machines. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Syncloud on Void Linux.
Before we start, make sure to have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install Git and Docker, which are required by Syncloud. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S git
sudo xbps-install -S docker
Next, we need to clone the Syncloud repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone it:
git clone https://github.com/syncloud/platform.git
This will create a new directory named platform in the current working directory.
Navigate to the platform directory and run the following command to build the Syncloud image:
cd platform
sudo docker build -t syncloud .
This command can take some time to complete, depending on your internet speed and system resources.
Once the image is built, we can run Syncloud using the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name syncloud -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v syncloud:/opt/syncloud syncloud
This command will start Syncloud in the background as a Docker container. The -d option specifies that the container should run in detached mode. The --name syncloud option assigns a name to the container, and -p 80:80 -p 443:443 maps the container's HTTP and HTTPS ports to the host's ports. The -v syncloud:/opt/syncloud option mounts the Syncloud data directory to a host directory named syncloud.
Syncloud should now be accessible at http://localhost or https://localhost. You can log in using your Syncloud account that can be created on the Syncloud management portal at https://apps.syncloud.org.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Syncloud on Void Linux. Now you can start using Syncloud to host your personal cloud on your own device.
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!
