Eonza is an open-source application for creating personal scripts, automating tasks, and managing files. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Eonza on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Eonza, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Before we start with the installation of Eonza, it is recommended to update FreeBSD to its latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo freebsd-update fetch install
This command will fetch and install any updates available for your system.
Eonza requires some packages to run correctly. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pkg install bash php71 php71-json php71-openssl php71-pdo php71-pdo_mysql mysql57-server
This command will install the required packages on your FreeBSD server.
Next, download the Eonza installation package from their website. You can use the following command to download the package:
wget https://github.com/forkcms/forkcms/releases/download/5.8.4/forkcms-5.8.4.zip
After downloading, extract the archive using the following command:
unzip forkcms-5.8.4.zip
To configure the MySQL server, run the following command:
sudo mysql_install_db
This command will initialize the MySQL database and create the initial system tables.
Next, start the MySQL server by running the following command:
sudo service mysql-server start
To create an Eonza database, log in to the MySQL server by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
This command will prompt you for the MySQL root password. After entering the password, create a new database using the following SQL command:
CREATE DATABASE eonza;
Next, create a new user with the following command:
CREATE USER 'eonza_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strongpassword';
Make sure to replace 'strongpassword' with a strong and secure password.
Finally, grant all the privileges to the user on the eonza database using the following SQL command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eonza.* TO 'eonza_user'@'localhost';
To configure Eonza, navigate to the extracted directory that you downloaded in Step 3. Then run the following command to create a configuration file:
cp /config.inc.sample.php /config.inc.php
Next, open the configuration file using a text editor and replace the following parameters:
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'eonza_user';
$db_password = 'strongpassword';
$db_name = 'eonza';
Make sure to replace 'eonza_user' and 'strongpassword' with the username and password that you created in Step 5. Also, make sure the 'db_name' parameter matches the name of the database you created.
To start Eonza, navigate to the extracted directory that you downloaded in Step 3. Then run the following command:
bash eonza.sh
This command will start the Eonza application. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to 'http://your-server-ip-address:8080'.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Eonza on FreeBSD Latest. You can now create and manage personal scripts, automate tasks and manage files using Eonza.
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!
