Kleeja is a powerful open-source PHP photo gallery and file hosting script that can be used to host and manage multimedia files on your website. If you want to install Kleeja on your Elementary OS, then follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Before you start, make sure you have the following things:
The first thing you need to do is download the latest version of Kleeja from their official website at https://kleeja.net/. Once you have downloaded the file, extract the contents to your local computer.
Next, upload the extracted contents of the Kleeja file to your web server using an FTP client or the command line. You can upload the files to any directory on your server. In this tutorial, we will upload the files to the root directory of our domain.
You also need to create a new MySQL or MariaDB database for Kleeja to store its data. You can use a graphical user interface like phpMyAdmin or command line tools such as the MySQL shell or MariaDB client to do this.
For instance, you can use the following command to connect to the MySQL/MariaDB database server:
$ mysql -u root -p
Next, create a new database named "kleeja":
mysql> create database kleeja;
Create a new user account with a strong password:
mysql> create user 'kleejauser'@'localhost' identified by 'mypassword';
Grant the user full access to the "kleeja" database:
mysql> grant all privileges on kleeja.* to 'kleejauser'@'localhost';
Once you have created the database and user, you can exit the MySQL shell:
mysql> exit;
Now, it is time to configure Kleeja. Open your web browser and navigate to your Kleeja installation directory. For example:
http://your-domain.com/
You should see the Kleeja installation wizard.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Kleeja for your website. When prompted, enter the database details you created in step 3.
You also need to set the correct file permissions on the "cache" and "uploads" directories for Kleeja to function properly. You can do this using the following commands:
$ sudo chmod -R 777 cache/
$ sudo chmod -R 777 uploads/
Finally, once you have completed the configuration wizard, you can finalize the installation of Kleeja. Remove the "install" directory from your Kleeja installation directory using the following command:
$ sudo rm -rf install/
After that, you should be able to access your Kleeja installation by navigating to your domain in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed Kleeja on your Elementary OS.
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!
