To set up AList on Linux, first download the latest Linux-amd64 executable and place it in an empty folder. Then, create a web function in the Function Compute (FC) platform, upload your folder, and finalize the setup. Access the function control panel, open a terminal, and run `./alist server` to automatically create a data directory. If you have a local AList deployment, you can replace the data folder directly; otherwise, manually configure `config.json` and replace `data.db` if there are version differences. After confirming the environment is stable, deploy the code and consider adding a reserved instance to prevent cold starts. Finally, copy the public HTTPS address from the configuration triggers as your AList backend URL. If you have a registered domain, you can bind it; otherwise, use it as a backend API and deploy the AList_Web project on Cloudflare Pages for improved loading speed.

First, download the latest version of the Linux-amd64 executable file for AList and place it in an empty folder: Release Latest · AlistGo/alist · GitHub

Enter ./alist server to automatically create a data directory on the left

Replace the content (if you deploy an AList locally, you will also have a data folder; if you are not cross-version, you can directly overwrite the data folder; if you are cross-version, you need to manually configure config.json and replace data.db). After confirming that the test environment is normal, you can directly deploy the code. It is best to add a reserved instance to avoid cold starts.

Go to Configuration -> Triggers and copy the public HTTPS address. This is your AList backend address. If you have a registered domain name, you can bind a custom domain name for access. If you do not have one, you can use it as a backend API and deploy the AList_Web project on Cloudflare Pages. Tutorial: Teach you how to deploy AList's frontend to CF Pages!
