OpenNote is an open-source web-based note-taking application that allows you to create, edit, and manage your notes securely. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenNote on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, you will need:
OpenNote requires the following dependencies to be installed on your Fedora Server.
To install these dependencies, run the following command in the terminal.
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-json php-xml httpd mariadb mariadb-server git -y
Once the installation is completed, start the Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start at boot.
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
OpenNote source code is available on GitHub. So, clone the OpenNote repository in the document root directory of your webserver using the following command.
sudo git clone https://github.com/FoxUSA/OpenNote.git /var/www/html/OpenNote
Create a new database and user for OpenNote in MySQL.
sudo mysql -u root
Run the following commands one by one to create the database and user.
CREATE DATABASE opennote;
CREATE USER 'opennoteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opennote.* TO 'opennoteuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Note: Replace 'password' with your own password.
Create a new configuration file for OpenNote by copying the sample configuration file.
cd /var/www/html/OpenNote
sudo cp config_sample.php config.php
Edit the config.php file and update the following variables.
$config['o']['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['o']['db_name'] = 'opennote';
$config['o']['db_user'] = 'opennoteuser';
$config['o']['db_password'] = 'password'; //replace with your own password
Save and close the file.
Set the correct permissions for the OpenNote files and directories:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/OpenNote
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/OpenNote
Next, create a new virtualhost configuration file for OpenNote in Apache.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/opennote.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/OpenNote
ServerName yourdomain.com //replace with your own domain or IP address
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/opennote_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/opennote_access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/OpenNote/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache service.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
OpenNote is now installed and configured on your Fedor Server. Navigate to your domain or IP address in your web browser to access the OpenNote application.
http://yourdomain.com
You will be redirected to the OpenNote login page. Use the default username 'admin' and password 'admin' to log in. After the login, you can change your password and start using OpenNote.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install OpenNote on Fedora Server Latest. With OpenNote, you can start managing your notes securely and efficiently.
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!
