How to seed a Hyperdrive website on Debian 10

published: 2020-09-12


  1. Install a recent version of Node.js.

sudo -i

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -

apt-get install -y nodejs fuse

  1. Install the Hyperdrive daemon.

npm install -g hyperdrive-daemon && exit

The exit is necessary so that you're back in your normal user account again.

  1. Set up the Fuse mount:

mkdir ~/Hyperdrive

hyperdrive fuse-setup

  1. Start the Hyperdrive daemon. (You should do this in a multiplexer, as it will run in the foreground.)

hyperdrive start --foreground

  1. Seed your first site.

cd ~/Hyperdrive && hyperdrive mount MakeUpANameHere SiteKeyHere
