Pydio is a powerful open-source file-sharing and synchronization tool that allows you to access your files from anywhere, at any time. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Pydio on Debian latest.
Before installing Pydio, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update and upgrade your Debian system. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
This command will update and upgrade all the packages on your system.
To run Pydio on Debian, you need to have a LAMP stack installed. If you don’t have LAMP installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php7.4
You can also install other required PHP extensions by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install php7.4-{curl,gd,json,mysql,xml,mbstring,zip}
Pydio requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as our database server. To configure MariaDB server run:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
You will be asked to set a root password, remove anonymous users, and disallow root login remotely.
After that, log in to the MariaDB command prompt by typing:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for Pydio and grant access to a new user with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE `pydio`;
CREATE USER 'pydio' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `pydio`.* TO 'pydio';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You can install Pydio by downloading it from their official website or by adding their repository. In this tutorial, we will add their repository.
Import the Pydio repository key:
wget -qO - https://download.pydio.com/pub/linux/debian/key/pubkey | sudo apt-key add -
Add the Pydio repository:
echo 'deb https://download.pydio.com/pub/linux/debian/ buster main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pydio.list
Update the package list and install Pydio:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pydio-all
You will be asked to configure Pydio during the installation.
After the installation is complete, you need to configure Pydio to connect to your database.
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/pydio/. You will see the Pydio login page. Login with the default credentials (username: admin, password: admin).
You should change the admin password at the first opportunity.
In the Pydio admin panel, go to "Settings" -> "Database" and enter the database details you created earlier.
You can test Pydio by uploading, downloading, and sharing files. Pydio provides a user-friendly interface to do all of these tasks.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Pydio on Debian latest.
