Uploady is a file uploading and sharing service built using Node.js and Express. It allows users to upload, share, and manage files easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Uploady on NixOS Latest.
Before you start the installation process, please make sure that you have the following:
The first step in installing Uploady is cloning the project repository from GitHub. To do this, open your terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to keep the project files. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/farisc0de/Uploady.git
This will clone the Uploady repository to your local machine.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the root directory of the project and install the dependencies using the following command:
cd Uploady && npm install
This command will install all the required Node.js modules and dependencies needed to run Uploady on your system.
Next, you need to configure the Uploady application by creating a .env file. Navigate to the root of the project directory and run the following command:
cp .env.example .env
This command will create a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env. You can edit this file to set the required environment variables such as database settings and server port.
Finally, start the Uploady application with the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Node.js server and serve the Uploady application on http://localhost:3000/.
