How to install Cloudbox on Manjaro

Cloudbox is a one-click server software installation script that allows you to easily set up a fully functional server for your media streaming needs. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Cloudbox on a Manjaro system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date using the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 1: Install Git

Cloudbox is hosted on GitHub, hence we need to install the Git tool to download the installation script. Run the following command in the terminal to install Git:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 2: Clone Cloudbox Repository

Clone the Cloudbox repository to a local directory on your Manjaro system using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/cloudbox/cloudbox.git ~/cloudbox

Step 3: Run the Installation Script

Change the directory to the cloned Cloudbox folder using the following command:

cd ~/cloudbox

Run the installation script using the following command:

./cloudbox setup

The script will prompt you for the server hostname, IP address, and other information required for the installation process. Provide the necessary information and continue with the installation.

Step 4: Access Cloudbox

Once the Cloudbox installation is complete, you can access it through the server's IP address or domain name. Open a web browser on a different device and enter the following URL:

http://<server-ip>:8000

You will see the Cloudbox login screen. Use the username and password you provided during the installation process to log in and start managing your media server.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cloudbox on Manjaro. Now you can start adding content to your media server and streaming your favorite movies, TV shows, or music from anywhere. Enjoy!
