Cloudlog is an open-source, web-based logging software designed for amateur radio operators. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Cloudlog on a Fedora CoreOS latest operating system.
Before installing Cloudlog, you need to install some dependencies that are required for Cloudlog to work correctly.
Open the terminal on your Fedora CoreOS and execute the following command:
sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-json php-mbstring curl composer git
After the installation of the dependencies, you can clone the Cloudlog repository by executing the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/magicbug/Cloudlog.git /var/www/html/cloudlog
Navigate to the cloned repository directory, which is /var/www/html/cloudlog, and execute the following command to install the required dependencies:
cd /var/www/html/cloudlog
sudo composer install
Execute the following command to log in to the MariaDB server:
sudo mysql
After logging into the MariaDB server, execute the following commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges:
CREATE DATABASE `cloudlog`;
CREATE USER 'cloudloguser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `cloudlog`.* TO 'cloudloguser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace password with a strong password for the user cloudloguser.
Navigate to the config directory inside the cloned repository, which is /var/www/html/cloudlog/config. Copy the config.php.template file and rename it to config.php:
cd /var/www/html/cloudlog/config
sudo cp config.php.template config.php
Edit the config.php file using your preferred text editor, and replace the database credentials with the ones you created earlier in step 4:
// Database Configuration
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "cloudloguser");
define("DB_PASS", "password");
define("DB_NAME", "cloudlog");
Save and close the file.
Create a new Apache configuration file for Cloudlog by executing the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/cloudlog.conf
Paste the following configuration in the editor and save the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cloudlog.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cloudlog
<Directory /var/www/html/cloudlog>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/cloudlog-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/cloudlog-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Allow HTTP port in the firewall to access Cloudlog using a web browser:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
You can now access Cloudlog by opening a web browser and visiting http://<your_ip_address>/cloudlog. Replace <your_ip_address> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS server.
You will be prompted with Cloudlog's installation screen, where you need to provide the database credentials you entered in Step 4.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Cloudlog on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
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!
