Copyparty is a self-hosted file sharing and media streaming server with a web interface. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Copyparty on Void Linux.
Open a terminal window on your Void Linux instance.
Install the required dependencies:
$ xbps-install -S git python3 ffmpeg
Clone the copyparty repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/9001/copyparty.git
Change into the copyparty directory:
$ cd copyparty
Install copyparty:
$ sudo python3 setup.py install
Run copyparty:
$ copyparty
Access copyparty in your web browser:
http://localhost:3923
Note: If you are running copyparty on a remote server, replace "localhost" with the IP address or hostname of the server.
By default, copyparty stores its configuration files in ~/.copyparty. You can edit the configuration file ~/.copyparty/config.json to customize your copyparty installation.
By default, copyparty does not require authentication for accessing the web interface. You can add authentication by adding the following lines to ~/.copyparty/config.json:
"server": {
"auth": "myusername:mypassword"
},
Replace "myusername" and "mypassword" with your desired username and password.
You now have a working instance of copyparty running on your Void Linux instance. To learn more about copyparty, refer to the copyparty documentation.
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!
