Atomic Server is a powerful tool that allows you to store, query, and manage your data in a decentralized, web-native way. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Atomic Server on Windows 11.
Before we begin, there are a few things you will need:
To open Command Prompt on Windows 11, press the "Windows key" and type "cmd" in the search box. Click on the "Command Prompt" icon to open it.
To open Windows PowerShell, follow the same steps, but type "PowerShell" in the search box instead.
If you don't have Git installed on your computer, you can download it from the official website: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Once you have downloaded Git, run the installer file and follow the instructions to install it.
Next, we need to clone the Atomic Server repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell:
git clone https://github.com/atomicdata-dev/atomic-data-rust.git
This will create a copy of the Atomic Server repository on your computer.
Atomic Server is written in Rust programming language, so you need to install Rust on your computer. To do so, visit https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install and follow the instructions.
To build Atomic Server, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell:
cd atomic-data-rust/server
Then, run the following command:
cargo build
This will compile and build Atomic Server on your computer.
Once the build process is complete, run the following command:
cargo run
This will start the Atomic Server on your computer. You can now access it at http://localhost:8180.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Atomic Server on your Windows 11 computer. You can now begin storing, querying, and managing your data using Atomic Server.
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!
