How to Install XBackBone on EndeavourOS Latest

XBackBone is a web-based file manager that provides an easy-to-use interface to manage files and folders. It is designed to be fast, lightweight, and easy to install. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install XBackBone on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have:

• An EndeavourOS Latest installation
• Root access to your system
• A web browser

Step 1: Update the System

First, open the terminal and update the system by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

XBackBone requires a web server to serve the files. Apache is a popular web server that is easy to use and configure. To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

Step 3: Start Apache

Once installed, start the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd.service

To enable Apache to start at boot time, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

Step 4: Install PHP

XBackBone is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP and a few extensions. To install PHP, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-apache

Step 5: Configure Apache for PHP

Next, we need to configure Apache to work with PHP. In the terminal, run the following command to edit the Apache configuration file:

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

Find the following lines:

#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
#LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so
#LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Uncomment the "mpm_prefork_module" line by removing the "#" symbol, so it looks like this:

#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
#LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Next, find the following line:

#LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

Uncomment it by removing the "#" symbol, so it looks like this:

LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 6: Install XBackBone

Now it's time to download and install XBackBone. We will download the latest version from the official website using the following command:

sudo mkdir /srv/http/xbackbone
cd /srv/http/xbackbone
sudo wget https://github.com/XBackBone/XBackBone/releases/latest/download/XBackBone.zip
sudo unzip XBackBone.zip
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/xbackbone

Step 7: Create a Virtual Host

We need to create a virtual host to serve XBackBone. In the terminal, run the following command to edit the Apache virtual host configuration file:

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

At the bottom of the file, add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName xbackbone.local
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/xbackbone/public"
    <Directory "/srv/http/xbackbone/public">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 8: Restart Apache

Now we need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect. Run the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Step 9: Access XBackBone

We have successfully installed XBackBone. Open your web browser and visit the following URL:

http://xbackbone.local/

You should see the XBackBone login page. Use the default username "admin" and the password "admin" to login.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed XBackBone on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use XBackBone to manage your files and folders through a web-based user interface.

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!
