ResourceSpace is an open-source digital asset management system that enables organizations to manage and share their digital assets such as images, videos, and documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install ResourceSpace on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Log in to your server using your SSH client.
ssh [user]@[ip_address]
It is always a good practice to update your system to the latest version to avoid any security vulnerabilities.
sudo pacman -Syu
ResourceSpace requires several packages to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install them.
sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php php-apache imagemagick ghostscript ffmpeg
Next, we need to configure the MariaDB database. Run the following command to start the MariaDB service.
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Then, run the secure installation script to secure the MariaDB installation.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Set a strong password for the root user and answer the remaining questions. Finally, restart the MariaDB service.
sudo systemctl restart mariadb
Log in to the MariaDB shell.
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for ResourceSpace.
CREATE DATABASE resourcespace_db;
Create a new user for ResourceSpace.
CREATE USER 'resourcespace_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
Grant all privileges on the resourcespace_db to resourcespace_user.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace_db.* TO 'resourcespace_user'@'localhost';
Exit the MariaDB shell.
exit
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for ResourceSpace.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/resourcespace.conf
Copy and paste the following configuration into the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/resourcespace
<Directory /var/www/html/resourcespace>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file.
Enable the Apache rewrite module.
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/{mod_rewrite.so,mod_rewrite.load}
Restart the Apache service.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Download the latest version of ResourceSpace.
cd /tmp && wget https://www.resourcespace.com/get/web-resource-management/latest
Extract the downloaded file.
tar -xf latest
Move the extracted files to the Apache document root.
sudo mv resourcespace /var/www/html/
Set the correct permissions for the ResourceSpace files.
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/resourcespace/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/resourcespace/
Create a new file db.php in the ResourceSpace includes directory.
sudo nano /var/www/html/resourcespace/include/db.php
Copy and paste the following configuration into the file, replacing the placeholder values with your actual credentials.
<?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'resourcespace_db';
$db_username = 'resourcespace_user';
$db_password = 'your_password';
$resource_path = '/var/www/html/resourcespace/';
?>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache service.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com/install.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, remove the install directory.
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/resourcespace/install
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install ResourceSpace on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start using ResourceSpace to manage and share your digital assets.
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!
