Pydio is a powerful file sharing and syncing software that allows you to access your files from anywhere with an intuitive user interface. In this tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to install Pydio on FreeBSD.
Before we begin with the installation, we need to make sure that our system is up to date and that we have the necessary packages installed. We can achieve this by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg install -y wget nano php73 php73-curl php73-mbstring php73-xml php73-zip php73-gd php73-pdo_mysql php73-json php73-filter php73-hash php73-intl php73-session php73-openssl php73-pecl-uploadprogress php73-fileinfo php73-posix
The first step is to download the Pydio software from the official website. You can do this by running the following command:
wget https://download.pydio.com/pub/cell-server/release/2.0.8/pydio-cells-2.0.8-freebsd-amd64.tar.gz
This command will download the latest version of Pydio for FreeBSD in tar.gz file format.
Once the download is complete, we need to extract the contents of the tar.gz file. We can do this by running the following command:
tar xvfz pydio-cells-2.0.8-freebsd-amd64.tar.gz
This command will create a new directory named pydio-cells-2.0.8-freebsd-amd64 and extract all the necessary files into it.
After extracting the files, we need to configure Pydio by running the following command:
cd pydio-cells-2.0.8-freebsd-amd64 && ./cells install
This command will launch a setup wizard that will guide you through the installation process. You will be asked to configure a few settings such as the server name, database credentials, and email configuration.
Once the installation is complete, we can start Pydio by running the following command:
./cells start
This command will start the Pydio server and allow you to access it via your web browser.
Now that Pydio is up and running, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://your-server-ip:8080
Replace "your-server-ip" with the IP address of your FreeBSD system. You should now see the Pydio login page where you can enter your credentials and start using Pydio.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Pydio on FreeBSD. You can now use Pydio to share and sync your files across multiple devices and users.
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!
