Atheos is a free, open source web-based code editor that can be used for writing and editing code. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps for installing Atheos on Fedora Server.
Before we can install Atheos, we need to make sure that we have all the required dependencies installed on our server. Use the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install git apache mysql-server php php-mysql php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-gd
Once the dependencies are installed, we can clone the Atheos repository using Git. Use the following command to clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos.git /var/www/html/atheos
This will create a directory named atheos in /var/www/html/, which is the default web directory on Fedora. The repository will be cloned inside this directory.
We need to configure Apache to serve the Atheos web page. We will create a new virtual host configuration file for this purpose. Create a new file named atheos.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory using the following command:
sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/atheos.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/atheos
<Directory /var/www/html/atheos>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file.
Next, we need to restart Apache to apply the new configuration. Use the following command to restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
We need to create a new MySQL database and user for Atheos. Use the following commands to create a new database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted, then execute the following SQL commands:
CREATE DATABASE atheos;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON atheos.* TO 'atheosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace password with a strong password of your choice.
We need to configure Atheos to connect to the MySQL database we just created. Use the following command to copy the default configuration file:
sudo cp /var/www/html/atheos/config.dist.php /var/www/html/atheos/config.php
Open the config.php file using your favorite editor and update the following lines:
<?php
define("DB_TYPE", "mysql");
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_NAME", "atheos");
define("DB_USER", "atheosuser");
define("DB_PASS", "password");
?>
Replace password with the MySQL password you set in step 4.
Once the configuration is complete, you can access the Atheos web interface by navigating to http://your-domain.com in your web browser. You should see the Atheos login page.
Use the following default login credentials:
adminadminAfter logging in, you can create, edit, and save files using Atheos.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Atheos on your Fedora server.
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!
