Prerequisites

Step 1: Update Clear Linux

Before proceeding with the installation of Admidio, ensure that your system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo swupd update

This command will update your Clear Linux system to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Apache and MariaDB

Admidio requires an HTTP server and a database management system to function. In this step, we will install Apache webserver and MariaDB database on Clear Linux.

  1. Install Apache webserver:
sudo swupd bundle-add apache-httpd
  1. Start and enable the Apache webserver:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
  1. Install MariaDB:
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
  1. Start and enable MariaDB:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 3: Create Database and User

In this step, we will create a new database and user for Admidio.

  1. Log in to the MariaDB server:
sudo mysql -u root
  1. Create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE admidio_db;
  1. Create a new user:
CREATE USER 'admidio_usr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note: Replace 'password' with a strong password.

  1. Grant all privileges to the user on the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON admidio_db.* TO 'admidio_usr'@'localhost';
  1. Flush the privileges:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  1. Exit the MySQL:
exit;

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  1. Add the following lines at the end of the file:
