How to Install Uploady on Fedora Server Latest

Uploady is an open-source file uploading service built with Node.js and React. It allows users to upload and manage their files via a simple web interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and run Uploady on a Fedora Server Latest installation.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that your Fedora Server Latest is up-to-date and that you have root privileges. You also need to have Node.js version 12 or later installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Git

The first step is to install Git, which is a version control system that will allow us to download and install Uploady from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo dnf install git

Step 2: Clone the Uploady Repository

After installing Git, we can now clone the Uploady repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/farisc0de/Uploady.git

This command will create a new directory called Uploady in your current working directory, which contains all the necessary files for Uploady.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

The next step is to install the dependencies required by Uploady. Change into the Uploady directory by running the following command:

cd Uploady

Once you're inside the Uploady directory, run the following command to install all dependencies specified in the package.json file:

npm install

This command will download and install all the required dependencies for Uploady.

Step 4: Configure the Environment Variables

Uploady requires some environment variables to be set up for it to run correctly. The environment variables are defined in a file called .env.

To create this file, run the following command:

cp .env.example .env

After creating the .env file, you can modify its contents to suit your needs. You will need to set the following environment variables:

PORT=3000
STORAGE=local
UPLOAD_DIRECTORY=/uploads
CLOUDINARY_NAME=<your_cloudinary_name>
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=<your_cloudinary_api_key>
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=<your_cloudinary_api_secret>

Make sure to replace <your_cloudinary_name>, <your_cloudinary_api_key>, and <your_cloudinary_api_secret> with your own credentials if you're using Cloudinary as your storage provider.

Step 5: Start the Server

Once you've set up the environment variables, you can start the Uploady server by running the following command:

npm start

This command will start the server and display output similar to the following:

Server is listening on port 3000

You can now access Uploady by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you've learned how to install Uploady on a Fedora Server Latest installation. With your new Uploady server, you can easily upload and manage your files via a simple web interface.
