How to Install transfer.sh on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Transfer.sh is an open-source file-sharing platform that allows users to easily send and receive files through a custom URL. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install transfer.sh on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

  • A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
  • A user account on the server with sudo access

Step 1: Install wget and curl

Transfer.sh requires wget and curl to be installed on your server. If you don't have them installed already, enter the following command:

sudo dnf install wget curl -y

Step 2: Download transfer.sh

To download transfer.sh, enter the following command:

wget https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/archive/master.zip

Once the download is completed, extract the files using the following command:

unzip master.zip

Step 3: Configure transfer.sh

Navigate to the extracted transfer.sh directory and configure the platform by editing the .env file using your favorite text editor:

cd transfer.sh-master
sudo nano .env

Edit the following variables as follows:

TRANSFER_UPLOAD_FOLDER=/tmp/
TRANSFER_LISTENING_ADDRESS=":8080"
TRANSFER_TLS_CERT=""
TRANSFER_TLS_KEY=""

TRANSFER_UPLOAD_FOLDER: This variable specifies the directory where uploaded files are stored.

TRANSFER_LISTENING_ADDRESS: This variable specifies the listening address for the Transfer.sh server.

TRANSFER_TLS_CERT and TRANSFER_TLS_KEY: These variables specify the location of the SSL certificate and key files if you want to enable HTTPS support.

Save the changes and exit the file.

Step 4: Start transfer.sh

To start Transfer.sh, run the following command:

./transfer.sh

This will start the platform with the configuration changes you made in Step 3.

Step 5: Test transfer.sh

To verify that Transfer.sh is working correctly, open a web browser and navigate to the server's IP address or hostname on port 8080, e.g., http://your-server-ip:8080.

You should see the Transfer.sh web interface and be able to upload and download files.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Transfer.sh on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now use it as a simple and secure file-sharing platform.
