How to Install Kleeja on Alpine Linux

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kleeja on Alpine Linux. Kleeja is an open-source file hosting platform that allows you to upload files and share them with others.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A server running Alpine Linux
• Root access to the server
• An internet connection
• A web server installed on your server. You can install Nginx or Apache.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, we need to install the required dependencies for Kleeja to run. To install the dependencies, run the following command in the terminal:

apk add php7 php7-mbstring php7-gd php7-json php7-zip php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-iconv curl

Step 2: Download Kleeja

Now that the dependencies are installed, let's download Kleeja. Run the following commands in the terminal:

cd /var/www/html
curl -LJO https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/releases/download/2.3.0/Kleeja-2.3.0.zip
unzip Kleeja-2.3.0.zip
mv Kleeja-2.3.0/* .
rm -rf Kleeja-2.3.0 Kleeja-2.3.0.zip

Step 3: Set Permissions

Next, we need to set the appropriate permissions to the Kleeja files. Run the following command in the terminal:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/cache /var/www/html/images/extra_up

Step 4: Create a MySQL Database

We need to create a MySQL database for Kleeja. Run the following commands in the terminal:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE kleeja;
CREATE USER 'kleejauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kleeja.* TO 'kleejauser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 5: Configure Kleeja

Now, we need to configure Kleeja. Rename the file includes/config.default.php to includes/config.php:

mv includes/config.default.php includes/config.php

Edit the includes/config.php file and change the following settings:

$config['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';
$config['dbname'] = 'kleeja';
$config['dbuser'] = 'kleejauser';
$config['dbpass'] = 'password';
$config['dbhost'] = 'localhost';

Step 6: Access Kleeja

Now that you have completed the installation, you can access Kleeja from a web browser by visiting your server's domain name or IP address.

http://your_ip_address_or_domain_name/

You should see the Kleeja installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Kleeja on Alpine Linux. Now, you can start using Kleeja to host and share files. We hope you found this tutorial helpful.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
