How to Install Chevereto on Elementary OS Latest

Chevereto is a self-hosted image hosting platform that allows you to create your own image hosting site. Installing Chevereto on Elementary OS Latest can be done in a few simple steps.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following installed on your system:

• LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• Git

Step 1 - Download Chevereto

To download Chevereto, you need to clone the Chevereto repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command in terminal:

git clone https://github.com/chevereto/chevereto /var/www/html/

Step 2 - Install Dependencies

Switch to the chevereto directory and install dependencies:

cd /var/www/html/chevereto
composer install

Step 3 - Create MySQL Database

Create a new MySQL database and user for Chevereto using the following commands:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE chevereto;
CREATE USER 'chevereto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chevereto.* TO 'chevereto'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace password with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4 - Configure Chevereto

Copy the app/config.sample.php file and rename it to app/config.php:

cp app/config.sample.php app/config.php

Open the app/config.php file in your text editor and update the following values:

• DB_HOST - change it to localhost
• DB_NAME - set it to the database name created in step 3 (chevereto)
• DB_USER - set it to the database user created in step 3 (chevereto)
• DB_PASS - set it to the password you chose for the database user

Step 5 - Set File Permissions

Set the proper file permissions for the Chevereto directories:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/chevereto
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/chevereto

Step 6 - Enable Rewrite Module

Enable the Apache Rewrite Module:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7 - Access Chevereto

You can now access Chevereto by navigating to http://your-server-ip/chevereto in your web browser.

The initial installation will walk you through the setup wizard to create an administrator account and configure your image hosting site.

That's it! You now have a self-hosted image hosting platform running on your Elementary OS Latest system.

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!
