Plik is an open-source file-sharing platform that allows users to securely upload and share files. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Plik on Windows 10.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
Follow these steps to install Plik:
Download the Plik zip file from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/root-gg/plik/releases
Extract the zip file to a directory where you want to install Plik.
Open the extracted folder and locate the package.json file.
Open a command prompt in the folder where you extracted Plik and run the following command:
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies.
Now, locate the config/config.php.dist file and rename it to config.php.
Edit the config.php file to configure your database and server settings.
Create a virtual host in your web server configuration file that points to the Plik installation directory.
Restart your web server.
Open your web browser and go to the URL of your Plik installation. You will see the Plik login screen.
Login with the default credentials: Username: admin Password: admin123.
Once you have logged in, you can change the default password and create additional user accounts.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Plik on your Windows 10 machine. You can now start using Plik to securely share files with your colleagues and friends.
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!
