FileGator is an open-source web-based file manager that allows users to upload, download, and manage files from their computer or server. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install FileGator on Fedora CoreOS Latest, step-by-step.
First, we need to install the required dependencies on our Fedora CoreOS Latest server. Run the following command to update the package list and install the dependencies:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y nginx php-fpm php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-zip unzip wget
Next, we need to configure the NGINX web server to serve our FileGator files. Run the following command to create an Nginx server block for FileGator:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/filegator.conf
And paste the following configuration, replacing example.com with your own domain name, and /var/www/html/filegator with the path to your FileGator installation directory.
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/html/filegator;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Save and close the file.
First, you need to navigate to the HTML directory in your Fedora CoreOS Latest server:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://github.com/filegator/filegator/releases/download/v7.7.2/filegator.zip
sudo unzip filegator.zip
sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/filegator/
Now, start the required services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable nginx
Finally, open your browser and type http://your-server-ip-address/ in the address bar. You will be redirected to the FileGator login screen. Use the default username and password (admin and admin) to log in and start using FileGator.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the FileGator web-based file manager on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now upload, download, and manage your files from your browser.
Note: It's recommended to change the default login credentials immediately.
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!
