Coppermine is a popular open-source photo gallery software that allows you to host and manage your own photos on a web-based platform. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Coppermine on FreeBSD Latest:
Before installing Coppermine on FreeBSD, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Download the latest version of Coppermine from the official website or use the following command to download it via the terminal:
$ wget https://github.com/coppermine-gallery/coppermine/archive/1.6.10.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
$ tar -zxvf 1.6.10.tar.gz
Move the extracted Coppermine directory to the Apache web server directory using the following command:
$ mv coppermine-1.6.10 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/coppermine
Create a new MySQL database for Coppermine using the following command:
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE coppermine;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON coppermine.* TO coppermine_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with a strong password for the database user.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip_address/coppermine/install.php to start the Coppermine installation process.
Follow the installation wizard instructions and enter the MySQL database credentials that you created in step 4.
After completing the installation, make sure to secure your Coppermine installation by updating the config file permissions and changing the default administrator username and password.
$ cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/coppermine/include
$ chmod 400 config.inc.php
That's it! You have successfully installed Coppermine on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start uploading your photos and customizing your gallery.
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!
