How to Install LinkAce on Clear Linux Latest

LinkAce is an open-source bookmark manager that allows you to organize, sync and share your bookmarks across devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of LinkAce on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have:

• A Clear Linux Latest server
• Root access to the server

Step 1: Update the System

First, update the system by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

LinkAce requires several dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-apcu php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-pgsql nginx mariadb

Step 3: Download and Install Composer

LinkAce uses Composer to manage its dependencies. To install Composer, use the following command:

sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Step 4: Create LinkAce Database

Create a new database for LinkAce using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE linkace;

Create a new user for this database and grant the user all the privileges using the following commands:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linkace.* TO 'linkaceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Replace password with your desired password.

Step 5: Download and Install LinkAce

Download and install LinkAce in /var/www/html/linkace:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/linkace
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/linkace
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/linkace
cd /var/www/html/linkace
sudo -u www-data composer create-project linkace/linkace

Note that www-data is the default nginx user on Clear Linux.

Step 6: Set the Required Permissions

Fix the file permissions for the LinkAce installation and directories:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/linkace
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/linkace/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/linkace/bootstrap/cache

Step 7: Configure NGINX

Create a new NGINX server block for LinkAce:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/linkace.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name linkace.example.com;

    root /var/www/html/linkace/public;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Replace linkace.example.com with your own domain name.

Step 8: Activate the NGINX Server Block

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/linkace.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 9: Setup LinkAce

Go to http://your-server-ip and follow the installation wizard to complete the setup.
