Turn any computer at home into a cloud for easy sharing of files across your devices.
This program can turn your desktop into a local cloud server. This is a website which will run locally over your wifi( without port forwarding) and will be accessible to all your devices.
You can now access and transfer files from your different devices with ease. The new version (version 2) has been implemented using vuejs. Version 1 was a pilot project and is not recommended for use(it is not supported by me any longer).
Currently the server is written in typescript which will work well for development environments with a bit of setup, however I have made the decision to migrate the server to Go to make setup easier and the package more easily distributable. Please check the other development branches for updates.
Support me to keep making this project better :heart:
These images might be from older versions of the same app and might appear different from the one you setup. Please open an issue for requesting icons or suggesting any colour improvements.
A computer :smiley:
Yarn (please use yarn), it can be downloaded via npm
npm install -g yarn
Version 2(vuejs implementation)
If your wish to set it up for development follow these steps, else check the releases for a better bundled package
There are 2 main folders server and client, the vuejs code is inside client and the express backend code is inside server
open up 2 terminals/cmd in the root folder.
TERMINAL 1
yarn install
yarn start
TERMINAL 2
cd client
yarn install
yarn serve
The website can be found on ipv4:8080, check version 1 procedure to see how you can find your ipv4 address. From
version 2.4 onwards the ip address is displayed for you, visit that on any device on the same network.
For version 1
Open your desired terminal/command prompt - cmd, terminal, git bash on the computer you plan to use as your cloud server
Type ipconfig
and find the IPv4 address
The website will be available on IPv4 Address:5000 For example: 192.168.1.7:5000
To start the server run the following 2 commands
yarn install
yarn start
You can access the website on any device at that address
