MeTube is an open-source video sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share videos. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install MeTube on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we start, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to update your system to the latest version. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
MeTube requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Use the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-json php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
Once the dependencies are installed, we need to configure MariaDB. Execute the following command to start the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
To secure the MariaDB installation, run the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
It will ask you a series of questions. Follow the instructions and provide appropriate answers.
Note: Make sure to remember the root password set during this process.
Clone the MeTube repository to your local system by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/alexta69/metube.git /var/www/html/metube
Change the ownership of the metube directory to the web server user using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/metube
Create a new Apache configuration file for MeTube using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/metube.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/metube
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/metube/>
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/metube_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/metube_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace the ServerName with your domain name or IP address.
Restart the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Create a new database and user for MeTube by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
MariaDB> CREATE DATABASE metube;
MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metube.* TO 'metube_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB> EXIT;
Replace the metube_user and password with your own values.
Rename the config.sample.php to config.php located in the /var/www/html/metube directory:
sudo mv /var/www/html/metube/config.sample.php /var/www/html/metube/config.php
Edit the config.php file using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/metube/config.php
Update the configuration according to your database credentials, domain name, and email address.
Open your favorite web browser and visit your domain name or IP address. You will be redirected to the MeTube installation page. Follow the instructions and provide the required details to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MeTube on Fedora Server Latest. You can now upload, view, and share videos on your own video sharing website.
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!
