How to Install PsiTransfer on Fedora Server Latest

PsiTransfer is a secure and open-source web-based file transfer application used to share files with others. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install PsiTransfer on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora Server Latest instance with root access.
• An active internet connection.

Step 1: Update System Packages

Connect to your Fedora Server instance and update your system packages.

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

PsiTransfer requires certain packages to function correctly. You can install those packages by running the following command:

sudo dnf install epel-release wget curl git unzip php-fpm php-mbstring php-gd composer nginx

Step 3: Clone the PsiTransfer repository

You need to clone the PsiTransfer repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/psi-4ward/psitransfer.git /var/www/html/psitransfer

Step 4: Install PsiTransfer Dependencies

PsiTransfer requires some PHP dependencies to be installed. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:

cd /var/www/html/psitransfer
sudo composer install

Step 5: Configure Nginx

We will now configure Nginx as the web server to serve PsiTransfer. Create a new server block configuration file in Nginx configuration directory /etc/nginx/conf.d/ with the following command:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/psitransfer.conf

Copy the following content into the file:

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name localhost;

   root /var/www/html/psitransfer/public;

   index index.php;

   location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
   }

   location = /favicon.ico {
       access_log off; log_not_found off;
   }

   location ~ \.php$ {
       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
       fastcgi_index index.php;
       include fastcgi_params;
   }
}

Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 6: Start and Enable Nginx and PHP-FPM

You can now start and enable Nginx and PHP-FPM to run at boot time using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm

Step 7: Open Firewall Port for PsiTransfer

FirewallD is the default firewall on Fedora Server. You need to allow incoming HTTP traffic on port 80. To do this, run the following command:

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 8: Access PsiTransfer

You can now access PsiTransfer by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:

http://your-ip-address/psitransfer

Replace your-ip-address with the actual IP address of your Fedora Server instance.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed and configured PsiTransfer on Fedora Server. You can now use it to securely share files with others.

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!
