How to install Etebase (EteSync) on Void Linux

Etebase is an open-source and end-to-end encrypted cloud storage API that allows developers to build and integrate encrypted data storage into their applications. EteSync is the official client for Etebase, which integrates the API into an easy-to-use application for personal use.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install EteSync on Void Linux.

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before installing EteSync, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu git build-base openssl-dev

Step 2: Clone the EteSync repository

Now, clone the EteSync repository using the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/etesync/etesync-web.git

Step 3: Install and set up NVM

EteSync is developed with Node.js, so we need to install Node Version Manager (NVM) to manage our Node.js installation. Run the following commands in the terminal:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 14.17.3
nvm use 14.17.3

Step 4: Install EteSync

Change the directory to the EteSync repository using the following command:

cd etesync-web

Then, install the required packages with this command:

npm install

Finally, launch EteSync with the following command:

npm run start

You can access EteSync by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:3000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed EteSync on Void Linux. You can now use it to store and sync your sensitive data securely.
