Pydio is an open-source file sharing and syncing software that allows users to store and access their files from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pydio on Manjaro.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL on your Manjaro system. You can do this using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
Next, we need to create a MySQL database for Pydio. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted. Then, create a database and user for Pydio:
CREATE DATABASE pydio;
CREATE USER 'pydio'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pydio.* TO 'pydio'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Next, we will download and install Pydio on our system. Run the following commands to download and extract the Pydio archive:
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://download.pydio.com/pub/cells/release/2.2.5/pydio-cells-2.2.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf pydio-cells-2.2.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv pydio-cells-2.2.5-linux-amd64 pydio
Now we need to configure Apache to serve Pydio. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pydio.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
Alias /pydio "/var/www/html/pydio/"
<Directory "/var/www/html/pydio">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Next, we need to enable the Apache rewrite module and restart the Apache service:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart httpd
To configure Pydio, navigate to http://localhost/pydio in your web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
During the setup, when prompted for a database configuration, select "MySQL" and enter the following information:
Database Host: localhost
Database Name: pydio
Database User: pydio
Database Password: [the password you set in Step 2]
Follow the rest of the prompts to complete the setup wizard.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Pydio on Manjaro Linux. You should now be able to access and use Pydio to store and share your files.
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!
