ResourceSpace is a digital asset management system that is used to manage your digital files, such as images, videos, and audio files, in a central location. This tutorial will guide you on how to install ResourceSpace on MX Linux.
To install ResourceSpace on MX Linux, you need to install some packages. Firstly, update the package manager with the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Install some additional packages required for installing ResourceSpace with the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-imagick ffmpeg imagemagick ghostscript antiword python python-pip python-dev build-essential libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev libtiff-dev libc-client-dev libkrb5-dev libmagickwand-dev libzip-dev
Wait for the packages to download and install.
Download the latest version of ResourceSpace for Ubuntu from the ResourceSpace website:
wget https://www.resourcespace.com/get/file/resourcespace-latest.tar.gz
Once the download is completed, extract the ResourceSpace archive with the following command:
tar xvfz resourcespace-latest.tar.gz
The extracted files will be placed in a new directory named resourcepace in the current directory.
Move the ResourceSpace files to the Apache document root directory:
sudo mv resourcepace /var/www/html/
Change the ownership of the ResourceSpace files to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/resourcepace/
Create a new MySQL database for ResourceSpace:
Log in to the MySQL server:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a database named resourcespacedb:
CREATE DATABASE resourcespacedb CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
Create a new user named resourcespaceuser with a password:
CREATE USER 'resourcespaceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Grant all privileges to the new user on the resourcespacedb database:
GRANT ALL ON resourcespacedb.* TO 'resourcespaceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Flush the privileges and exit the MySQL shell:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Navigate to the resourcepace/include directory and copy the config.default.php file as config.php:
cd /var/www/html/resourcepace/include/
sudo cp config.default.php config.php
Open the config.php file in a text editor:
sudo nano config.php
Find the following lines:
$db_host="";
$db_username="";
$db_password="";
$db_database_name="";
Enter the following values:
$db_host="localhost";
$db_username="resourcespaceuser";
$db_password="password";
$db_database_name="resourcespacedb";
Save and close the file.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/resourcepace/install/. Follow the on-screen instructions to install ResourceSpace.
ResourceSpace is now installed on your MX Linux system. You can now start adding files to the system and manage them with ResourceSpace.
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!
