In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Lstu on Fedora Server Latest. Lstu is a minimalist URL shortener that allows you to create and manage short URLs. It is open-source and easy to install.
Before you start installing Lstu, you will need:
First, we need to ensure that our server has all the necessary dependencies to run Lstu. To do so, run the following command:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-xml php-mcrypt git
This command will install PHP, MySQL, XML, and Git.
Next, we will clone the Lstu repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ldidry/lstu.git /var/www/html/lstu
This command will clone the Lstu repository into the /var/www/html/lstu directory on your server.
After cloning the Lstu repository, we need to configure it. Open the config.pl file in your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/lstu/config.pl
Update the following parameters:
host: The hostname or IP address where the Lstu application will be hosted.database: The name of the database where Lstu will store its data.username: The database username that Lstu will use to connect to the database.password: The database password that Lstu will use to connect to the database.Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Next, we need to configure our web server to serve Lstu. We will use Apache as the web server, but you can use any web server of your choice.
Open the Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Replace the contents of the Directory block with the following:
<Directory /var/www/html/lstu>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
After configuring the web server, we need to restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to http://<your-server's-IP>/lstu/. You should see the Lstu installation page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Lstu on Fedora Server Latest.
Lstu is a great URL shortener that is easy to install and configure. It is a lightweight and fast solution for managing short links. We hope this tutorial has been helpful in getting Lstu up and running on your Fedora Server Latest installation.
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!
