XBackBone is a self-hosted cloud storage solution that allows you to store and share files, pictures, and documents over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of XBackBone on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard
Update your package repositories and software packages by running the command:
sudo swupd update
Install the required packages for XBackBone by running the command:
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx redis mariadb php73
Start the MariaDB database server and add it to the system startup by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start mariadb && sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Secure the MariaDB installation by executing:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Login into MariaDB with the following command, then create a new database and user for XBackBone:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE xbackbone;
CREATE USER 'xbackbone'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON xbackbone.* TO 'xbackbone'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Download and install the latest version of XBackBone by running the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/esoadamo/xbackbone/releases/download/v1.5.5/xbackbone-1.5.5.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf xbackbone-1.5.5.tar.gz -C /var/www/
sudo ln -s /var/www/xbackbone-1.5.5/ /var/www/xbackbone
Set the required permissions for XBackBone by running:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/xbackbone
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/xbackbone
Next, setup NGINX. Create a new file named xbackbone.conf in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory with the following content:
server {
listen 80;
server_name xbackbone.example.com;
root /var/www/xbackbone/public;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
add_header X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Robots-Tag "noarchive, noindex, nofollow, nosnippet";
add_header Referrer-Policy "origin-when-cross-origin";
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; object-src 'none'";
error_log /var/log/nginx/xbackbone-error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/xbackbone-access.log combined;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
}
location ~* \.(ttf|woff|woff2|eot)$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
expires 1M;
access_log off;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
}
Replace xbackbone.example.com with the domain name or IP address of your server. Also, you may need to modify the server_name field if you want to access XBackBone over a different URL.
Create a symlink to the NGINX configuration file with the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/conf.d/xbackbone.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Test the NGINX configuration file by running:
sudo nginx -t
If there are no errors, restart NGINX using the following command to effect the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Next, start the Redis server and add it to the startup:
sudo systemctl start redis && sudo systemctl enable redis
Finally, start the PHP-FPM service by running:
sudo systemctl start php-fpm && sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed XBackBone on your Clear Linux Latest system. You can access the installation by opening a web browser and typing http://xbackbone.example.com in the address bar, replacing xbackbone.example.com with your own domain name or IP address.
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!
