FileGator is a lightweight and open-source web-based file manager that makes it easy to manage your files on your server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install FileGator on EndeavourOS.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to update all packages to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
After that, install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git apache php php-apache
Next, clone the FileGator repository to your server's document root directory:
cd /srv/http
sudo git clone https://github.com/filegator/filegator.git
After cloning the FileGator repository, you need to configure Apache to serve FileGator. Create a new Apache configuration file filegator.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ directory with the following content:
Alias /filegator /srv/http/filegator/
<Directory /srv/http/filegator/>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
FileGator requires some PHP extensions to work correctly. Enable the required PHP extensions by running the following commands:
sudo php_enmod mbstring
sudo php_enmod zip
Restart the Apache service to apply the changes you made:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/filegator/. You should see the FileGator login page. Login with the default username admin and password admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FileGator on EndeavourOS. You can now start using FileGator to manage your files on your server.
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!
