Piwigo is an open-source photo management software that helps you organize and share your photos. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Piwigo on Clear Linux latest.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To run Piwigo on Clear Linux, we need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic apache
This command will install Apache web server and the necessary PHP packages on your Clear Linux machine.
Next, we need to download the Piwigo package. Open the web browser and go to the Piwigo download page. Click on the "Download Piwigo X.X.X" button which is the latest version of Piwigo.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package using the following command:
sudo tar xf piwigo-X.X.X.zip -C /var/www/html/
This command will extract the Piwigo package to the /var/www/html/ directory.
To configure Apache for Piwigo, we need to create a virtual host file. Open your text editor and create a new file /etc/apache2/sites-available/piwigo.conf.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/piwigo.conf
Copy the following content into the piwigo.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/piwigo/
ServerName example.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/piwigo/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your own domain name or IP address. Save and close the file.
Now we need to enable the virtual host by creating a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/piwigo.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/piwigo.conf
Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open a web browser and go to http://example.com/piwigo/ (replace example.com with your own domain name or IP address). You will see the Piwigo setup page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Piwigo. Set up the database, create the administrator account, and configure the gallery settings.
Once you have completed the Piwigo setup, you can test the installation by visiting your Piwigo site http://example.com/piwigo/ in your web browser. You should see your photo gallery up and running!
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Piwigo on Clear Linux latest. We have also configured Apache web server and Piwigo for optimal performance. You are now ready to organize and share your photos with Piwigo on Clear Linux.
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!
