HRCloud2 is an open-source personal cloud storage solution that allows users to store and access their files from anywhere and on any device. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install HRCloud2 on a Fedora Server Latest environment.
Before installing any new software, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version. Run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
HRCloud2 requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y git composer php php-devel php-mysqlnd php-xml php-mbstring php-fpm php-zip php-gd
HRCloud2 can be downloaded from its GitHub repository. Run the following command to download it:
sudo git clone https://github.com/zelon88/HRCloud2 /var/www/html/HRCloud2
Once the download is completed, change the ownership of the downloaded directory using the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/HRCloud2
Now we can install HRCloud2 using Composer. Run the following command:
cd /var/www/html/HRCloud2 && sudo composer install
HRCloud2 needs to be configured to work properly. Copy the configuration file using the following command:
sudo cp /var/www/html/HRCloud2/config/config-sample.php /var/www/html/HRCloud2/config/config.php
Then edit the configuration file using a text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/HRCloud2/config/config.php
Update the following lines in the configuration file:
define('ROOT', '/var/www/html/HRCloud2');
define('DATA_DIR', '/var/www/html/HRCloud2/data');
define('URL_BASE', 'http://localhost/HRCloud2');
define('SESSION_NAME', 'HRCloud2');
define('SALT', '<random-32-character-long-string-here>');
Save and exit the file.
HRCloud2 needs an HTTP web server to serve its files to the clients. Fedora Server Latest comes with Apache web server installed by default. So we will use Apache in this tutorial.
Create a new virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/hrcloud2.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName hrcloud2.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/HRCloud2
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/hrcloud2-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/hrcloud2-access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/HRCloud2/>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace hrcloud2.example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and exit the file.
And then restart Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain_name_or_IP_address. You will see the HRCloud2 login page.
Use the default credentials to log in:
Username: admin
Password: admin123
HRCloud2 is now installed and configured on your Fedora Server Latest environment. You can now use it as your personal cloud storage solution.
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!
