How to Install HRCloud2 on EndeavourOS Latest?

HRCloud2 is an open-source self-hosted file management web application, which is used to share and sync files across devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install HRCloud2 on your EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation of HRCloud2, firstly, we will need to have a few prerequisites installed on our system.

• Apache2 : HRCloud2 is a PHP-based web application, so we need to install Apache2 as a web server.
• PHP : We need to install PHP and its extension modules.
• MariaDB : we need to install MariaDB, which is a relational database server.
• Git : Git is required to clone the HRCloud2 repository from Github.

Run the following command to install these prerequisites on your system.

sudo pacman -Syu apache php php-apache mariadb git

Install and Configure MariaDB

After installing MariaDB, run the following command to start it.

sudo systemctl start mysql

Now, we need to create a new database and grant privileges to a new MySQL user.

sudo mysql -u root

Create a new database and SQL user with appropriate privileges.

CREATE DATABASE hrcloud2db;
CREATE USER 'hrcloud2user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hrcloud2db.* TO 'hrcloud2user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Clone HRCloud2 Repository

Now, clone the HRCloud2 repository from Github and move the directory to /var/www/html/hrcloud2/.

sudo git clone https://github.com/zelon88/HRCloud2.git /var/www/html/hrcloud2/

Now, we need to give permissions to the www-data user to access the hrcloud2 directory.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/hrcloud2/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/hrcloud2/

Configure Apache Web Server

Create a new virtual host configuration file for HRCloud2.

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/extra/hrcloud2.conf

Add the following lines in this file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin admin@example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/hrcloud2
  ServerName hrcloud2.example.com
  ServerAlias www.hrcloud2.example.com

  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/hrcloud2_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/hrcloud2_access.log combined

  <Directory /var/www/html/hrcloud2/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Now, enable the rewrite module and the hrcloud2 virtual host configuration.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2ensite hrcloud2.conf

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Access HRCloud2 Web Interface

Now, open your favorite web browser and browse to http://hrcloud2.example.com, and you will see the HRCloud2 web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed HRCloud2 on your EndeavourOS 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!
