PsiTransfer is an open-source web application that allows users to securely transfer large files from one computer to another. It is easy to use and can be installed on many operating systems, including EndeavourOS.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install PsiTransfer on EndeavourOS Latest using the command line.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
The first step is to update your system to ensure that you are running the latest version of packages. To do this, run the following command on the terminal:
sudo pacman -Syyu
This command will update all the packages on your system to their latest versions.
PsiTransfer requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-mcrypt php-pgsql postgresql
This command will install PHP and Postgres on your system.
To install PsiTransfer, you need to download the latest version from the GitHub repository:
wget https://github.com/psi-4ward/psitransfer/archive/master.zip
After the download is complete, extract the files to your web server directory, which is usually located at /srv/http/.
unzip master.zip -d /srv/http/
Then navigate to the psiTransfer directory:
cd /srv/http/psitransfer-master
And give write permissions to the data directory:
chmod 777 data
To configure PsiTransfer, you need to create a configuration file by copying the example configuration file:
cp config.example.inc.php config.inc.php
Now, open the config.inc.php file with your preferred text editor:
nano config.inc.php
In this file, set the following parameters:
DB_USER – set the username for the Postgres database userDB_PASSWORD – set the password for the Postgres database userDB_NAME – set the name of the databaseUPLOAD_DIR – set the upload directory for PsiTransferBASE_URL – set the base URL for PsiTransferThen save the file and exit.
Before you can use PsiTransfer, you need to create the database. To do this, run the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb psitransfer
This command will create a new database named psitransfer.
PsiTransfer requires a web server to function properly. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx. To install Nginx, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nginx
After installing Nginx, configure the virtual host by creating a new configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/psitransfer
Paste the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com;
root /srv/http/psitransfer-master;
index index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/psitransfer.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/psitransfer.error.log;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace example.com with your domain name.
Save the file and exit.
Next, create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/psitransfer /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Then, start Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
The final step is to start php-fpm.
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
