Installing LittleLink Custom on Fedora Server Latest

This tutorial will guide you in installing LittleLink Custom on your Fedora Server Latest machine. LittleLink Custom is a URL shortener that allows you to create short links for long URLs, has customizable domains and supports password protection for links.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that your Fedora Server Latest machine is updated, and that you have root access or sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install the required packages

Open the terminal and enter the following command to install the required packages:

sudo dnf install -y wget curl unzip php php-cli php-mbstring php-json php-gd php-zip

This command will install the wget, curl, unzip, php, php-cli, php-mbstring, php-json, php-gd and php-zip packages.

Step 2: Download the LittleLink Custom package

To download the LittleLink Custom package, enter the following command in the terminal:

sudo wget https://github.com/littlelink/littlelink-custom/releases/latest/download/littlelink-custom.zip

This command will download the latest release of LittleLink Custom in .zip format.

Step 3: Extract the LittleLink Custom package

Use the unzip command to extract the downloaded package:

sudo unzip littlelink-custom.zip -d /var/www/html

This command will extract the LittleLink Custom package to the /var/www/html directory, which is the default directory for storing HTML files on Fedora.

Step 4: Configure LittleLink Custom

Edit the configuration file with your favorite editor:

sudo nano /var/www/html/.env

Replace the values with your own:

# General config
APP_NAME=LittleLink Custom
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=http://localhost

# Database config
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

# Broadcasting config

CACHE_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync

# Links config

EXTRA_LINK_DOMAIN=https://example.org
ALLOWED_DOMAINS=https://example.com,https://example.org
LINK_MAX_LENGTH=7
LINK_PASSWORD=

# Security config
APP_KEY=

Save the file when you are done.

Step 5: Configure Apache

To configure Apache to serve LittleLink Custom, create a new virtual host configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/littlelink-custom.conf

Add the following contents:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/littlelink-custom-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/littlelink-custom-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace "yourdomain.com" with your own domain name. Save the file when you are done.

Step 6: Restart Apache

Use the following command to restart Apache:

sudo systemctl restart httpd
