Jirafeau is a free and open-source file sharing web application, which allows users to upload and share files with others. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Jirafeau on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of Jirafeau, make sure your system is up-to-date and has the necessary dependencies installed. You can update your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Jirafeau requires some packages to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following commands:
sudo pacman -S php php-fpm nginx mariadb curl git
Next, clone the Jirafeau repository from GitLab:
git clone https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau.git /var/www/html/jirafeau
Jirafeau uses MariaDB as the database management system. So, you need to configure MariaDB by creating a new database and user. To do this, log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Once you are logged in, create a new database and user by running the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE jirafeau;
CREATE USER 'jirafeau'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jirafeau.* TO 'jirafeau'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace YOUR_PASSWORD with your desired password for the Jirafeau user.
Next, you need to configure Nginx by creating a new virtual host for Jirafeau. To do this, create a new file called "jirafeau.conf" in the "/etc/nginx/sites-available" directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME;
root /var/www/html/jirafeau;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~\.php$ {
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Make sure to replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME with your domain name or IP address.
Once you have created the file and added the configuration, save and close it.
Then, create a symbolic link to the "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled" directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Lastly, restart Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Next, you need to configure PHP by editing the "www.conf" file:
sudo nano /etc/php/php-fpm.d/www.conf
Edit the following lines:
user = nginx
group = nginx
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660
Save and close the file.
Lastly, restart the PHP-FPM service:
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
Now, you can finish the installation by accessing the Jirafeau web interface via the browser. To do this, go to:
http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/install/
You should see the Jirafeau installation page. Follow the instructions on the page to complete the installation.
Once you have completed the installation, delete the "install" directory:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/jirafeau/install
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Jirafeau on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use Jirafeau to upload and share files with others.
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!
