How to Install Cloudlog on Linux Mint Latest

Cloudlog is a web-based Amateur Radio logging application that runs on a server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cloudlog on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:

• A Linux Mint Latest operating system installed on your computer
• A web server installed (Apache and PHP version 7.3 or later are recommended)

Step 1: Download Cloudlog

Firstly, you'll need to download Cloudlog from the official website. You can download it from https://magicbug.co.uk/cloudlog/.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Once the download is complete, open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you downloaded Cloudlog. Then, you need to install the required packages that Cloudlog relies on. The commands below will install the necessary packages.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-xml php-zip

Step 3: Extract Cloudlog

Now that you have installed the required packages, the next step is to extract the downloaded Cloudlog zip file. Navigate to the folder where you saved the zip file and extract it using the command below.

unzip cloudlog.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 4: Configure Apache

To configure Apache to use Cloudlog, create a new virtual host configuration file using the nano text editor by running the command below:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/cloudlog.conf

Copy and paste the following contents into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cloudlog/
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    <Directory /var/www/cloudlog/>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your.domain.com with the domain name or IP address of your server. Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl + X, followed by Y, and then Enter.

Next, enable the site and restart Apache using the following commands:

sudo a2ensite cloudlog.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Complete Cloudlog Installation

To complete Cloudlog installation, navigate to your server's domain name or IP address in the web browser. You should see the Cloudlog installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cloudlog on Linux Mint Latest.

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!
