How to Install Goploader on OpenBSD

Goploader is an open-source file-sharing tool written in Go. It allows users to upload files and share them with others easily. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Goploader on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

A running instance of OpenBSD
Access to a command terminal with administrative privileges
An internet connection to download the required components

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install Go

To install Goploader, you need to have Go installed on your system. You can quickly install Go on your OpenBSD system by running the following commands in your terminal:

$ doas pkg_add golang

This command will download and install the latest version of Go on your system.

Step 2: Download and Install Goploader

Once Go is installed on your system, the next step is to download Goploader. You can download the latest version of Goploader from the official GitHub repository by running the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/Depado/goploader.git

This command will download the Goploader files to your current directory.

Now, navigate to the cloned directory:

$ cd goploader

And compile the files using the following command:

$ go build

Step 3: Configure Goploader

Before you can start using Goploader, you need to configure it. The easiest way to do this is by creating a configuration file. You can create a configuration file using a text editor. The following steps will demonstrate how to create a configuration file for Goploader:

Open a text editor:
```
$ vi .goploader.yaml
```
This will create a new file with the name .goploader.yaml in your current directory.
Paste the following configuration in the file:
```
listen: 0.0.0.0:8080

local:
  folder: uploads
  enable: true

s3:
  region: us-east-1
  endpoint: https://storage.your-cloud.com
  access_key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
  secret_key: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
  bucket_name: goploader
  folder_name: uploads
```
You can modify the above configuration based on your needs. For example, you can change the port number if you want to use a different port. You can also change the local folder name and S3 bucket name.

Step 4: Start Goploader

Once you have installed and configured Goploader, you can now start using it. You can start Goploader by running the following command:

$ ./goploader server

This command will start the Goploader server, and it will listen on the specified port. Once the server starts, you can access it by visiting the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/
