Pomf is a lightweight and fast file hosting platform. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pomf on Fedora Server.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before installing Pomf, it's always recommended to update your Fedora server packages to their latest version.
sudo dnf update
Pomf requires Apache, PHP and MySQL to be installed on the server. Run the following command on your terminal to install the dependencies:
sudo dnf install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring
Pomf uses a database to store file data. You'll need to create a new database, user, and password for Pomf:
Log in to the MariaDB server:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a new database:
MariaDB [(none)]> create database pomf;
Create a new user:
MariaDB [(none)]> create user 'pomf'@'localhost' identified by 'your_strong_password';
Grant the user privileges for the Pomf database:
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on pomf.* to 'pomf'@'localhost';
Exit the MariaDB server:
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
Clone the Pomf repository with Git:
git clone https://github.com/Pomf/Pomf.git
Copy the extracted Pomf files to your Apache document root:
sudo cp -r Pomf/upload /var/www/html/
cd /var/www/html/upload
sudo chmod -R 777 files .htaccess
Point your domain name to the server's IP address and navigate to it in a web browser.
Follow the installer prompts to setup Pomf.
In this tutorial, you have learned the installation of Pomf on Fedora Server. Now you can host and share files with Pomf on your server.
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!
