How to Install HRCloud2 on Fedora Server Latest

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.

Prerequisites

• Fedora Server Latest environment
• Root access or a user with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Step 1: Update System

Before installing any new software, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version. Run the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

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

Step 3: Download HRCloud2

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

Step 4: Install HRCloud2

Now we can install HRCloud2 using Composer. Run the following command:

cd /var/www/html/HRCloud2 && sudo composer install

Step 5: Configure HRCloud2

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.

Step 6: Configure HTTP Web Server

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

Step 7: Access HRCloud2

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

Conclusion

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!
