MediaCMS is an open-source media and content management system that allows users to manage their videos, images, and other multimedia content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MediaCMS on the latest version of Fedora Server.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install the required dependencies for MediaCMS. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install git php-gd php-xml php-mbstring ffmpeg -y
This command will install Git, PHP GD extension, PHP XML extension, PHP MBString extension, and FFMpeg.
Next, download the latest version of MediaCMS from their official website or use the following command to download it from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms.git /var/www/html/mediacms
This command will clone the MediaCMS repository into the /var/www/html/mediacms directory.
MediaCMS requires a MySQL database to store its data. So, create a new MySQL database and user by running the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE mediacms_db;
CREATE USER 'mediacms_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mediacms_db.* TO 'mediacms_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT
Make sure to replace the password with a strong and secure password.
To configure MediaCMS, rename the .env.example file to .env and update the following database settings as per your MySQL database configuration.
DB_DATABASE=mediacms_db
DB_USERNAME=mediacms_user
DB_PASSWORD=password
Set the appropriate permissions on the storage and bootstrap/cache directories by running the following commands:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/mediacms/storage
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/mediacms/bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/mediacms/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/mediacms/bootstrap/cache
Enable the Apache rewrite module by running the following command:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
To apply the changes made to the Apache server configuration, restart the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Once everything is set up, you can access the MediaCMS web interface by typing the server's IP address in your web browser's address bar.
http://server-ip-address/mediacms
Congrats! You have successfully installed MediaCMS on your Fedora Server. You can now use it to manage your media content.
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!
