How to Install YOURLS on EndeavourOS

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing YOURLS on EndeavourOS.

Step 1: Install LAMP Stack

Before installing YOURLS, we need to set up a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. To do this, execute the following commands:

sudo pacman -S apache
sudo pacman -S mariadb
sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-mysql

After installation, start the services:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb

Step 2: Create a Database for YOURLS

Create a new database and user in your MySQL server. Replace YOUR_DATABASE_NAME, YOUR_USER, and YOUR_PASSWORD with your preferred names.

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE YOUR_DATABASE_NAME;
CREATE USER 'YOUR_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON YOUR_DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'YOUR_USER'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 3: Download and Extract YOURLS

Download the latest version of YOURLS from the official website: https://yourls.org/#Download. Extract the archive to /var/www/html/yourls.

wget https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS/archive/1.8.1.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf 1.8.1.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
sudo mv /var/www/html/YOURLS-1.8.1/ /var/www/html/yourls/

Step 4: Configure YOURLS

Edit the configuration file located at /var/www/html/yourls/user/config.php. Replace the placeholders with the values according to your database:

$db_user = 'YOUR_USER';
$db_pass = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
$db_name = 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME';
$db_host = 'localhost';

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host file for your YOURLS instance:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/yourls.conf

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName yourls.example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yourls
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/yourls-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/yourls-access.log combined
        <Directory /var/www/html/yourls/>
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host configuration and restart Apache:

sudo a2ensite yourls.conf
sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access YOURLS

Open a web browser and navigate to your YOURLS instance at http://yourls.example.com. Follow the installation wizard by filling in the required information.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured YOURLS on your EndeavourOS system.

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!
