PineDocs is an open-source document management system that allows you to manage your documents through a web interface. In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to install PineDocs on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
git installed on your systemFirst, you need to clone the PineDocs repository from the GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/xy2z/PineDocs.git
cd PineDocs
It will download the latest version of PineDocs from the GitHub repository.
Before running PineDocs, you need to install some dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 php7.4-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-curl php7.4-xml php7.4-gd
Next, you need to create a new database in MySQL for PineDocs. You can do this by logging into the MySQL shell with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
It will prompt you for the MySQL root password. After providing the root password, you can create a new database with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE pinedocs;
Once you have created the database, you need to configure it for PineDocs. You can do this by importing the database schema from the db/pinedocs.sql file using the following command:
mysql -u root -p pinedocs < db/pinedocs.sql
It will import the database schema to the pinedocs database.
Next, you need to configure the Apache web server to serve PineDocs. You can do this by creating a new virtual host file for PineDocs in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/pinedocs.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/PineDocs/public
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/PineDocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain name.
Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl + X.
Then, enable the new virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite pinedocs.conf
Restart the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
By default, the Apache rewrite module is disabled in most Linux distributions. You need to enable it to allow PineDocs to work. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart the Apache web server again:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Next, you need to edit the .env file located in the root directory of PineDocs. You can do this by running the following command:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Edit the following line with your MySQL username, password, and database name:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=pinedocs
DB_USERNAME=[your_mysql_username]
DB_PASSWORD=[your_mysql_password]
Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl + X.
Next, you need to install the Composer dependencies for PineDocs. You can do this by running the following command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
cd /var/www/html/PineDocs
composer install
It will install all the required dependencies for PineDocs.
