Jirafeau is a lightweight web-based file sharing platform that allows users to securely share files and folders with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Jirafeau on Clear Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Jirafeau, you need to ensure that your system has the required dependencies. Run the following command to update your system packages:
sudo swupd update
Next, install the required packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx php-basic
To download Jirafeau, navigate to the GitLab repository of Jirafeau:
https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau
Click on the "Clone" button and copy the URL.
In your terminal window, navigate to the directory where you want to download Jirafeau and run the clone command:
git clone https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau.git
This will download Jirafeau to your local machine.
Jirafeau requires a web server to run. To configure Nginx, create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name YOUR_SERVER_NAME;
root /path/to/Jirafeau;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;
}
}
Replace YOUR_SERVER_NAME with your server's domain name or IP address, and set the correct path to your Jirafeau installation. Save and close the file.
To enable the configuration, create a symlink from the sites-available directory to the sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Next, restart the Nginx server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
The next step is to configure PHP on your system. To open the PHP configuration file, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
In the configuration file, find the following lines and update them with the specified values:
user = nginx
group = nginx
listen = /run/php-fpm.socket
Save and close the file.
Next, restart the PHP-FPM service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
Open a web browser and navigate to your server's domain name or IP address. You should see the Jirafeau installation screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will be prompted to set up an administrator account and configure your database settings.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to access Jirafeau on your server's domain name or IP address.
