How to Install Chevereto on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Chevereto is an open-source image hosting script that allows you to create a photo and image sharing website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Chevereto on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, there are a few things you need to have in place:

• Access to a Linux server running Fedora CoreOS Latest
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• A web browser to access the Chevereto web interface

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by Chevereto. You can do this by running the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y wget gzip unzip git httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-zip php-iconv php-intl php-mbstring php-xml php-simplexml php-fpm

Step 2: Download and Install Chevereto

Now that the dependencies are installed, we can download and install Chevereto. Follow the below steps to install it:

1. Create a new directory to store the Chevereto files:

   sudo mkdir -p /var/www/chevereto
   

2. Navigate to the new directory:

   cd /var/www/chevereto
   

3. Download the latest release of Chevereto from GitHub:

   sudo git clone https://github.com/chevereto/chevereto.git .
   

4. Set the permissions so that Apache can access the files:

   sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/chevereto/
   sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/chevereto/
   

Step 3: Configure Apache

The next step is to configure Apache to serve the Chevereto files. Follow the below steps:

1. Create a new Apache configuration file for Chevereto:

   sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/chevereto.conf
   

2. Add the following lines to the file:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName example.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/chevereto/
       <Directory /var/www/chevereto/>
           Options FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
       ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/chevereto_error.log
       CustomLog /var/log/httpd/chevereto_access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   

   Replace 'example.com' with your server's hostname or IP address.

3. Save and close the file.

4. Restart Apache to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart httpd
   

Step 4: Set Up MariaDB

Chevereto requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as the database server. Follow the below steps to setup it:

1. Start and enable the MariaDB service:

   sudo systemctl start mariadb
   sudo systemctl enable mariadb
   

2. Run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:

   sudo mysql_secure_installation
   

   Follow the on-screen instructions to configure password and other settings.

3. Log in to MariaDB:

   sudo mysql -u root -p
   

4. Create a new database and user for Chevereto. Replace 'chevereto' with your preferred name for the database and username:

   CREATE DATABASE chevereto;
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chevereto.* TO 'chevereto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   exit
   

   Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.

Step 5: Finish the Installation

Now, complete the installation process by running the setup script from your web browser:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to your server at http://your_server_ip_or_hostname.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Chevereto installation. When prompted, enter the database details created above.

3. Once the installation is complete, you will be redirected to the Chevereto admin panel. Log in with the default credentials:

   Username: root Password: chevereto

4. Change the password for the 'root' account as soon as possible.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chevereto on your Fedora CoreOS Latest server. You can now start uploading images and sharing them with others.

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!
