Cloudbox is a tool used to create an all-in-one media server. It allows you to stream your media collection from one location through various different apps. To install Cloudbox on your Windows 11 computer, follow these steps:
Before installing Cloudbox, ensure that you have the following:
Browse to the location where you downloaded the Cloudbox ISO file.
Right-click the file and select "Extract All."
Choose a suitable location to extract the ISO file.
Once the extraction completes, open the extracted folder.
Press the Shift key and right-click on an empty space to get the context menu.
Select the "Open PowerShell window here" option.
In the PowerShell window, type vagrant box add cloudbox/cloudbox <path to the downloaded ISO file> and hit enter.
For example, vagrant box add cloudbox/cloudbox D:\Downloads\cloudbox_xxxx.iso
Wait for the Vagrant box to be installed.
In the PowerShell window, type vagrant init cloudbox/cloudbox and hit enter.
Wait for the Cloudbox Vagrantfile to be created.
In the PowerShell window, type vagrant up and hit enter.
Vagrant will now download and start the Cloudbox virtual machine, which may take some time.
Once the virtual machine is up and running, you should be able to access it from your Windows 11 computer.
http://localhost:4200.By following these simple steps, you can easily install Cloudbox on your Windows 11 computer and set up your own media server at home. Please note that you may need to do some additional configuration to set up your media libraries and stream to various devices. You can refer to the Cloudbox documentation for more information on how to do this.
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!
