Uguu is a free and open-source software that allows users to easily upload and share files. It offers a simple and customizable interface with a range of features, including password protection and expiry dates for uploaded files. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Uguu on the latest version of Clear Linux.
Before getting started with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to install the required dependencies for Uguu to run. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add curl git php-basic php-pcntl php-pgsql php-pdo-pgsql
This command will install the necessary packages needed for Uguu to function properly.
Next, you need to download the Uguu source code. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nokonoko/Uguu.git /var/www/uguu.se
This command will clone the Uguu repository into the /var/www/uguu.se directory.
Now that you have downloaded the source code, you need to configure Uguu. To do this, navigate to the Uguu directory and copy the sample configuration file:
cd /var/www/uguu.se
cp includes/settings.sample.php includes/settings.php
Next, use a text editor to modify the includes/settings.php file and configure the following settings:
$files_root - the path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored$base_url - the base URL of your Uguu installation$debug - whether or not to enable debugging mode (recommended to set it to false in production)$password - an optional password to restrict file uploads$delete_key - the key used for deleting filesSave and close the file when you're done.
Uguu requires some PHP settings to be configured properly. Open your preferred text editor and edit the /etc/php.ini file:
sudo vim /etc/php.ini
Find the following configuration settings and uncomment them (remove the ; at the beginning of the line):
extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so
Save and close the file.
By default, Clear Linux uses the Apache web server. You need to configure Apache to serve files from the Uguu directory.
Edit the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
Alias /files /var/www/uguu.se/files
<Directory /var/www/uguu.se>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now that you have installed and configured Uguu, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the URL of your Uguu installation.
For example, if your Uguu installation is located at http://localhost/uguu.se/, you can access it by opening http://localhost/uguu.se/ in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Uguu on the latest version of Clear Linux. Now you can easily upload and share files with your friends and colleagues!
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!
