This is very straightforward: just drop this nginx config into /etc/nginx/sites-available. For this part, I’ll assume you have a domain ( in this example) with an A record pointed to this VPS. Now that Dropbox is set up and syncing (congrats!), let’s serve up your ~/Dropbox/Public folder via everyone’s favorite HTTP server. Then, for every top-level folder you don’t want on the server, run dropbox exclude add folder-name. This probably isn’t what you want, especially if you use Camera Upload.Ĭd ~/Dropbox and use dropbox ls to see what’s there. Then, run the applicable command to get Dropbox onto the server:Īnd we’ll need this Python script to manage Dropbox:ĭropbox will, by default, sync your entire Dropbox folder onto your server.
#Droplr vs dropbox 64 Bit#
The following Dropbox installation instructions are based on these directions from Dropbox itself and this post from Ben Hedrington they apply specifically to Ubuntu 12.04, but will likely work on other Ubuntu versions and common Linux distros.ĭetermine whether you’re running 32 or 64 bit Linux ( uname -m). (You should also use my BuyVM Manager app to keep tabs on your VPS).
You could get away with a 256MB-sized one, I’d imagine. I can now share links directly to files, avoiding Dropbox’s web interface altogether, and I don’t have to sign up for a third-party service like Droplr or CloudApp.įor this experiment, I’m using a 512MB VPS from BuyVM. I set up a server to make that folder available over the web. Those capabilities are now better integrated into Dropbox, but I still use my Public folder for things I intend to share. Long ago, Dropbox provided a Public folder that had some special capabilities. Serving from your Dropbox folder with nginx January 12, 2014
