Admidio is a free and open-source web-based membership management application. It allows you to manage and organize your group memberships, events, and communication with ease.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of Admidio on Fedora Server.
Before you begin, you should have:
Before we install Admidio on our Fedora Server, let’s update our system. Run the following command in your terminal to update the latest package information:
sudo dnf update
Admidio requires Apache webserver, PHP, and MySQL. Run the following command to install these packages:
sudo dnf install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml
After the installation is complete, start the Apache and MariaDB services and enable them to start on boot time:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Before we proceed with the Admidio installation process, we need to create a database, username, and password for Admidio. To do so, follow the below commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE admidio;
CREATE USER 'admidio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON admidio.* TO 'admidio_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure you change the 'password' value to a secure password.
Download the Admidio package using the following command:
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/releases/download/4.0.4/admidio-4.0.4.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
sudo tar -xzf admidio-4.0.4.tar.gz
Rename the extracted directory:
sudo mv admidio-4.0.4 admidio
Change the ownership of the admidio directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R apache:apache admidio/
Now, we need to configure Admidio to connect to the database we created earlier.
Copy the file 'config.php.sample' to 'constant_config.php' :
cd admidio/includes
sudo cp config.php.sample constant_config.php
Modify 'constant_config.php' :
sudo nano constant_config.php
Update the following lines in the constant_config.php file:
define('SERVER_NAME', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'admidio');
define('DB_USER', 'admidio_user');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Make sure you change the 'password' value to the password you set.
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for Admidio:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/admidio.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/admidio
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/admidio>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/admidio_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/admidio_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Now, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://example.com (replace 'example.com' with your domain name).
You should be redirected to the 'Installation Completed' page.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Admidio on a Fedora Server. We hope this tutorial helps you get started with Admidio. If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please leave a comment.
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!
