How to Install TagSpaces on Fedora Server Latest

TagSpaces is an open-source, cross-platform file organizer that helps you stay organized by providing a modern file manager with support for tagging, annotating, and previewing your files. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing TagSpaces on a Fedora server.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, make sure that you have the following:

• A Fedora server with root privileges.
• A user account with sudo privileges.
• Basic command-line knowledge.

Step 1: Update system packages

First, log in to your Fedora server with ssh or through the terminal, and update the system packages by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

The first step is to install Apache and PHP on your Fedora server. You can install both with the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd php php-common php-json php-zip php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath 

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Next, we need to install a database server to manage the data for tagspaces. We will use MariaDB for this tutorial. You can install MariaDB with the following command:

sudo dnf install mariadb-server mariadb

Once the installation is complete, you can verify that MariaDB is running by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl status mariadb

Step 4: Create MariaDB database for TagSpaces

After installing MariaDB, you need to create a new database and database user for TagSpaces. To do this, log in to the MariaDB shell with the following command:

sudo mysql

Then, create a new database for TagSpaces:

CREATE DATABASE tagspaces;

Next, create a new database user and grant it all privileges on the new database:

CREATE USER 'tagspacesuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tagspaces.* TO 'tagspacesuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Make sure you replace "password" with a strong password of your choice. To exit the MariaDB shell, type:

exit;

Step 5: Install TagSpaces

Now that we have set up our server for TagSpaces, it's time to download and install it. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. First, download the latest version of TagSpaces from the official website. You can use the following command to download the latest version of the Community Edition:

   sudo wget https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces/releases/download/v3.9.6/tagspaces-3.9.6-linux64.tar.gz
   

2. Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to the Apache web root directory:

   sudo tar xf tagspaces-3.9.6-linux64.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
   

3. Rename the extracted directory to "tagspaces":

   sudo mv /var/www/html/tagspaces-* /var/www/html/tagspaces
   

4. Change the directory ownership to the Apache webserver:

   sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/tagspaces
   

Step 6: Configure TagSpaces

Now that we have installed TagSpaces, we need to configure it. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Open the following file with your favorite text editor:

   sudo vi /var/www/html/tagspaces/config/config.php
   

2. Replace the following line:

   $db_password = '';
   

   With:

   $db_password = 'password';
   

   Replace "password" with the password you used when creating the MariaDB user in Step 4.

3. Save and close the file.

Step 7: Configure Apache

Finally, we need to configure Apache to serve TagSpaces. Follow the steps below to configure Apache:

1. Open the following file with your favorite text editor:

   sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
   

2. Add the following lines at the end of the file:

   Alias /tagspaces "/var/www/html/tagspaces"
   
   <Directory "/var/www/html/tagspaces">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
   </Directory>
   

3. Save and close the file.

Step 8: Start Apache

Now we can start Apache and make TagSpaces available on the server. You can start Apache with the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl status httpd

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed TagSpaces on your Fedora server. You can now access your TagSpaces installation by opening your web browser and navigating to the server's IP address, followed by "/tagspaces". For example: http://192.168.1.100/tagspaces
