How to Install FileGator on NetBSD

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install FileGator on NetBSD. FileGator is an open-source web-based file management tool that allows you to manage your files and folders with ease. Follow the steps below to install FileGator on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A server running NetBSD
• A web server such as Apache or nginx
• PHP 5.6 or higher installed on your server

Step 1: Download FileGator

To download FileGator, run the following command:

$ wget https://github.com/filegator/filegator/releases/download/v7.6.3/filegator_v7.6.3.zip

This will download FileGator to your server.

Step 2: Extract FileGator

To extract FileGator, run the following command:

$ unzip filegator_v7.6.3.zip -d /var/www/

This will extract FileGator to the /var/www/ directory on your server.

Step 3: Configure FileGator

To configure FileGator, you need to edit the config.php file. Run the following command to open the file in a text editor:

$ vi /var/www/filegator/config/config.php

In the config.php file, you need to set the BASEPATH and APP_URL variables. Set the BASEPATH variable to /var/www/filegator and set the APP_URL variable to the URL where FileGator is accessible on your server. For example:

<?php
define('BASEPATH', '/var/www/filegator');
define('APP_URL', 'http://example.com/filegator');
?>

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Configure Web Server

Next, you need to configure your web server to serve FileGator. Here's an example configuration for Apache:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/filegator
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <Directory /var/www/filegator>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Restart your web server for the changes to take effect.

Step 5: Access FileGator

You can now access FileGator by navigating to the URL you set in the APP_URL variable in your web browser. For example, if your APP_URL variable is http://example.com/filegator, you can access FileGator at http://example.com/filegator.

That's it! You have successfully installed FileGator on NetBSD. You can now use it to manage your files and folders.

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!
