How to Install ProjectSend on EndeavourOS

ProjectSend is an open-source file-sharing and management application that allows users to share files and collaborate with their team members. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing ProjectSend on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before we can install ProjectSend on EndeavourOS, we need to make sure that the following dependencies are installed on our system:

• Apache 2
• MySQL
• PHP 7.2 or later
• PHP extensions: curl, gd, mbstring, mysqli, openssl, pdo, pdo_mysql

Step 1: Install Apache and MySQL

sudo pacman -S apache mysql

Step 2: Install PHP and Required PHP Extensions

sudo pacman -S php php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-mysqli php-openssl php-pdo php-pdo_mysql

Step 3: Create a Database for ProjectSend

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE projectsend;
CREATE USER 'projectsend_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projectsend.* TO 'projectsend_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 4: Download and Extract ProjectSend

cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://github.com/ignacionelson/ProjectSend/archive/master.zip
sudo unzip master.zip
sudo mv ProjectSend-master projectsend
sudo chown -R http:http projectsend/
sudo chmod -R 775 projectsend/

Step 5: Configure ProjectSend

cd /var/www/html/projectsend/config/
sudo cp config-sample.php config.php
sudo nano config.php

Update the following settings:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'projectsend');
define('DB_USER', 'projectsend_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');

Step 6: Create Apache Virtual Host Configuration

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-projectsend.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName projectsend.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/projectsend
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <Directory /var/www/html/projectsend>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/projectsend_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/projectsend_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Step 7: Enable the Virtual Host Configuration

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Uncomment the following line to include the virtual host configuration file:

# Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Include conf/extra/httpd-projectsend.conf

Step 8: Restart Apache

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 9: Access ProjectSend

Open your web browser and go to http://projectsend.local to access ProjectSend.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps of installing ProjectSend on EndeavourOS. We have also configured Apache and MySQL, installed and configured PHP and its required extensions, created a database for ProjectSend, downloaded and extracted the application files, and created an Apache virtual host configuration for ProjectSend.

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!
