Picsur is an open-source image sharing and hosting platform that allows users to upload, share, and manage their images. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Picsur on a Fedora Server Latest.
Before starting the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required dependencies before installing Picsur. Run the following command to install them.
sudo dnf install -y git nginx php php-gd php-fpm php-mbstring unzip
Next, we need to clone the Picsur repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone it into the /var/www directory.
sudo git clone https://github.com/rubikscraft/Picsur.git /var/www/picsur
Now, we need to set up an NGINX server block to host the Picsur web application. Run the following command to create a new server block file.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/picsur.conf
Add the following content to the file.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/picsur;
index index.php;
server_name your_domain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace the "your_domain.com" with your domain name, and save the file by pressing "CTRL+X", "Y", and "Enter".
We need to configure Picsur by copying the sample configuration file.
sudo cp /var/www/picsur/config.php.sample /var/www/picsur/config.php
You can edit the config.php file and adjust the settings according to your requirements.
Now, restart the NGINX and PHP-FPM services by running the following commands.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
The installation is complete, and now you can access the Picsur application by opening a web browser and typing the server's IP address or domain name. You will see the Picsur login page.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Picsur on a Fedora Server Latest. You can now upload your images and share them with others using Picsur. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the Picsur documentation available on GitHub.
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!
