How to Install Bepasty on Fedora CoreOS

Bepasty is a Python-based file hosting server that allows users to upload and download large files with ease. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Bepasty on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure that you have:

• Access to the shell with administrative privileges
• A running Fedora CoreOS instance
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command line interface

Step 1: Install the Required Packages

First, we need to install the required packages to run Bepasty on Fedora CoreOS. To do this, execute the following command:

sudo dnf install bepasty-server

This command will install the Bepasty server along with all required dependencies.

Step 2: Configure Bepasty

After installing the required packages, we need to configure Bepasty. We need to create a configuration file for Bepasty.

We can create the configuration file in any directory. For example, let's create a configuration file in the /etc/bepasty directory.

sudo mkdir /etc/bepasty
sudo nano /etc/bepasty/config.yml

In the above command, we have created a directory /etc/bepasty/ to store the configuration file, and then we have created a new file named config.yml for our configuration.

Now, we need to add some basic configurations to this file. Below is an example configuration that you can use as a reference. You can modify this configuration based on your requirements.

# Example Bepasty Configuration

# The base URL for Bepasty
base_url: http://localhost:5000/

# Directory where Bepasty stores uploaded files
upload_dir: /var/lib/bepasty/upload/

# Enable SSL
use_ssl: false

# Enable authentication
use_auth: false

This configuration enables Bepasty on the localhost and sets the uploaded files to be stored in the /var/lib/bepasty/upload/ directory.

Step 3: Start the Bepasty Server

After configuring Bepasty, now we can start the Bepasty server. To start the Bepasty server, execute the following command:

sudo systemctl start bepasty

This command will start the Bepasty server.

Step 4: Configure Firewall

We also need to configure the firewall to allow traffic to the Bepasty server. To do this, execute the following command:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=5000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

The above command will open ports 5000 and 80 which are used by Bepasty.

Step 5: Verify Installation

After completing the above steps, Bepasty server should be running successfully. To verify the installation, open a web browser and visit http://localhost:5000/. If everything is working fine, you will see the Bepasty server's web interface.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install Bepasty on Fedora CoreOS. We also learned how to configure firewall to allow traffic to the Bepasty server and verified the installation.
