Cloudlog is a free, open source, web-based, ham radio logging application. It allows amateur radio operators to log their contacts and manage them from a web interface. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Cloudlog on EndeavourOS latest.
Before you start, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
First, download the latest version of Cloudlog from their official website at https://magicbug.co.uk/cloudlog/. You can download it in either tar.gz or zip format.
$ wget https://magicbug.co.uk/cloudlog/cloudlog-v2.0.0.zip
Once the download is finished, extract the contents of the downloaded file to your web root directory. In this example, we will use the default Apache web root directory, which is /var/www/html/.
$ unzip cloudlog-v2.0.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
Set the correct permissions for the Cloudlog files and directories.
$ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/cloudlog/
$ chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/cloudlog/
Create a blank database and user for Cloudlog.
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE cloudlog;
mysql> CREATE USER 'cloudloguser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cloudlog.* TO 'cloudloguser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
Replace password with a password of your choice.
