This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pomf on Alpine Linux. Pomf is a lightweight, open-source file hosting script that allows you to upload and share files easily. Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Before installing Pomf, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add --no-cache git nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-opcache php7-json php7-session php7-gd php7-zip ffmpeg libsodium-dev make
This command updates the package manager and installs the necessary packages for Pomf. These packages include PHP, Nginx, Git, and some PHP extensions.
Now, we can download Pomf using Git. Enter the following command to clone the Pomf repository:
git clone https://github.com/Pomf/Pomf.git ~/pomf
This command will create a new directory called pomf in your home directory and clone the Pomf repository into it.
Move to the Pomf directory by entering the following command:
cd ~/pomf
Now, we need to install Pomf using Make. Enter the following command to start the installation:
sudo make
This command will compile the code, install the necessary dependencies, and create the necessary directories.
We need to configure Nginx to serve the Pomf website. We will create a new Nginx server block for Pomf. Enter the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/pomf.conf
Paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
root /home/your-username/pomf/public;
location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Make sure to replace your-domain.com and your-username with your own domain and username.
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y and Enter.
Restart Nginx to apply the changes by entering the following command:
sudo service nginx restart
Open your web browser and navigate to your-domain.com. You should see the Pomf website. You can now upload and share files using Pomf.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pomf on Alpine Linux Latest.
Pomf is a simple and efficient file hosting script that you can install on your own server. With this tutorial, you can easily install Pomf on your Alpine Linux server and start sharing files. If you encounter any issues during the installation, feel free to consult the official Pomf documentation.
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!
