How to Install Kleeja on Clear Linux Latest

Kleeja is an open-source file hosting and file sharing management software that allows you to easily and securely upload, manage and share your files online. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps required to install Kleeja on Clear Linux latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update the System

Before we proceed, ensure that your Clear Linux operating system is up-to-date.

sudo swupd update

This will update your system and make sure you are running the latest version.

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

Kleeja requires an Apache webserver to run. To install Apache, execute the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add httpd

Once the installation is complete, start the Apache webserver using the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To ensure that Apache starts automatically at boot, run:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Install PHP and Required Extensions

Kleeja is programmed in PHP, so we will install PHP and its necessary extensions using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic

After we have successfully installed PHP Basic, we will install the PHP extensions required for Kleeja using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-mysqli php-gd php-curl php-exif php-xml php-zip

Step 4: Install MySQL Server

Kleeja requires a MySQL database management system to store file metadata, user information, and all other necessary data. You can install MySQL on your Clear Linux system using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add mysql

After installation, start the MySQL service using

sudo systemctl start mysql

To ensure that the MySQL service starts automatically at boot, run:

sudo systemctl enable mysql

Step 5: Create MySQL Database and User

Create a new user and database for Kleeja. Replace [your_password] with the actual password you wish to use.

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE Kleeja;
CREATE USER 'KleejaUser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[your_password]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Kleeja.* TO 'KleejaUser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 6: Download and Extract Kleeja

Download the latest version of Kleeja from the official website using

sudo wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/raw/master/latest.zip

Extract the downloaded file using the command below

sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/html/

This will extract the files to the /var/www/html/ directory.

Step 7: Configure Kleeja

Edit the Kleeja configuration file:

sudo nano /var/www/html/Kleeja/includes/config.php

Update the following fields with your MySQL database name and user details:

$SQLhost = 'localhost';
$SQLpass = '[your_password]';
$SQLuser = 'KleejaUser';
$SQLdbName = 'Kleeja';

Once updated, save and exit the file.

Step 8: Change Permissions

Change the ownership of the Kleeja files to the Apache user and group.

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/Kleeja/

Make sure Kleeja directories and files have read-write permissions.

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/Kleeja

Step 9: Access Kleeja

Restart Apache and MySQL services:

sudo systemctl restart mysql
sudo systemctl restart httpd

To access Kleeja, open a web browser and go to:

http://<ip-address>/Kleeja/

Make sure to replace <ip-address> with your server's IP address.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Kleeja on Clear Linux Latest!

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!
