PineDocs is a Document Management System (DMS) built in Python that uses Flask and SQLAlchemy. It allows you to securely store, organize, and share documents with your team or organization. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps on how to install PineDocs on Debian Latest.
Before getting started, you should have the following:
The first thing you need to do is clone the PineDocs repository from GitHub. You can do this by opening your terminal and typing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/xy2z/PineDocs.git
This will clone the latest version of PineDocs to your local machine.
With the PineDocs repository cloned to your server, navigate to the PineDocs directory and install the required libraries. You can do this by typing the following command in your terminal:
cd PineDocs
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command installs all the required libraries for PineDocs.
PineDocs uses SQLite database, which doesn't require any server set up. You just need to create an empty database file in the same directory as your PineDocs app.
You can create a new database file called PineDocs.db by typing the following command in your terminal:
touch PineDocs.db
PineDocs comes with a default configuration in the config.py file, but we need to set up our own configuration to run the app with our settings.
Copy the default configuration file and create a new file called instance/config.py using the following command:
cp config.py instance/config.py
Update the values of the following configurations in the instance/config.py file:
SECRET_KEY = 'YourSecretKeyHere' # Change this to a unique secret key
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///PineDocs.db' # Change this to the database URI you created above
Now that PineDocs is installed and configured, you can start the application by typing the following command:
python3 run.py
This will start the PineDocs server, and you can access the application in your browser by navigating to [http://localhost:5000/](http://localhost:5000/).
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps on how to install PineDocs on Debian Latest. PineDocs is now ready for use, and you can start securely storing, organizing, and sharing your documents with your team or organization.
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!
