Wirow is a self-hosted file sharing application that lets users upload, download, and share files securely. It is easy to install and works on multiple platforms. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Wirow on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Before you start installing Wirow, it is crucial to update the system packages to ensure the latest versions are installed. Open the terminal and run the following command to update:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command upgrades all the installed packages to their latest versions.
Next, install the necessary dependencies required for Wirow to work correctly. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git curl unzip nginx php php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-pgsql
This command installs Git, NGINX, PHP, and other required packages.
Wirow uses the PostgreSQL database to store and manage data. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
This command installs PostgreSQL along with all its dependencies.
Next, create a new user and database for Wirow to use. Run the following commands to log in as the PostgreSQL administrator and create a new user:
sudo -i -u postgres
createuser --interactive --pwprompt
This command prompts you to enter a username and password for the new user.
Next, create a new database and grant access to the user you just created:
createdb wirow
grant all privileges on database wirow to [username];
Replace [username] with the username you just created.
Clone the Wirow repository from Github in the var/www directory:
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/wirow-io/wirow-server.git
Change the ownership of the wirow-server directory to the Nginx user:
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/wirow-server
Create a new virtual host configuration for Wirow in the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/wirow.conf
Paste the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com; # Replace with your own domain name
root /var/www/wirow-server/public;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}
Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name.
Start Nginx and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
Next, start PHP-FPM and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
Create a new .env file in the /var/www/wirow-server directory:
sudo cp /var/www/wirow-server/.env.example /var/www/wirow-server/.env
Open the .env file in your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/wirow-server/.env
Update the following variables in the /.env file:
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=wirow
DB_USERNAME=[username] # Replace with the username you created earlier
DB_PASSWORD=[password] # Replace with the password you entered earlier
Save and close the .env file.
Run the following commands to migrate the database and create the initial data:
cd /var/www/wirow-server
sudo php artisan migrate
sudo php artisan db:seed
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com/ to access Wirow. You should see the Wirow login page.
