MediaCMS is a modern and robust content management system that specializes in audio and video websites. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install MediaCMS on your Arch Linux system.
Before installing MediaCMS, make sure you have the following:
Go to the MediaCMS website at https://mediacms.io and download the latest version of the software. You can choose between downloading the ZIP archive or cloning the Git repository.
In this tutorial, we'll use the ZIP archive. Once downloaded, extract the files to a directory on your system.
Before installing MediaCMS, you need to create a new MySQL database. You can use the command line or a graphical tool such as phpMyAdmin to create the database.
To create a new database using the command line, log in to the MySQL server as the root user and run the following command:
CREATE DATABASE mediadb;
Replace "mediadb" with the name of your database.
Next, you need to create a new user with permissions to access the database. Run the following command:
CREATE USER 'mediadbuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace "mediadbuser" with the name of your user and "password" with a strong password.
Finally, grant the user permissions to access the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mediadb.* TO 'mediadbuser'@'localhost';
Replace "mediadb" with the name of your database and "mediadbuser" with the name of your user.
To install MediaCMS, copy the extracted files to the root directory of your web server. You can use the following command to copy the files:
sudo cp -R path/to/mediacms/* /var/www/html/
Replace "path/to/mediacms" with the path to your extracted MediaCMS files and "/var/www/html/" with the root directory of your web server.
Next, navigate to the root directory of your web server in your web browser. You should see the MediaCMS installation wizard.
Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to configure MediaCMS. When prompted for a database server, enter "localhost" and use the database name, username, and password you created in Step 2.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to log in to the MediaCMS dashboard and start creating content.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install MediaCMS on your Arch Linux system. With MediaCMS, you can easily create and manage audio and video websites.
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!
