PineDocs is a free, open source document management system designed for small and medium-sized businesses. This tutorial will show you step-by-step how to install PineDocs on NetBSD.
First, you need to install Git on your NetBSD server. To do this, run the following command:
pkg_add git
Next, you need to clone the PineDocs repository using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/xy2z/PineDocs.git
This will create a new directory called "PineDocs" in your current directory.
PineDocs requires several dependencies to run correctly. To install them, run the following command:
pkgin install php mysql-server php-openssl php-pdo_mysql
This will install PHP, MySQL, and the required PHP extensions.
Next, you need to create a new MySQL database for PineDocs. To do this, log in to your MySQL server by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted. Then, create a new database named "PineDocs" by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE PineDocs;
Now it's time to configure PineDocs to use your MySQL database. Navigate to the PineDocs directory that you cloned earlier by running the following command:
cd PineDocs
Copy the config.php.example file to config.php using the following command:
cp config.php.example config.php
Then, open config.php in a text editor and update the values to match your MySQL database settings:
'db_host' => 'localhost',
'db_port' => '3306',
'db_name' => 'PineDocs',
'db_user' => 'root',
'db_password' => 'your-mysql-root-password',
Save and close the file.
PineDocs requires several MySQL tables to function correctly. To create these tables, navigate to the PineDocs directory and run the following command:
mysql -u root -p PineDocs < install.sql
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
Finally, you need to configure your web server (Apache or Nginx) to serve PineDocs. First, navigate to your web server's document root directory. For Apache, this is typically /usr/local/www/apache24/data/ and for Nginx, this is typically /usr/local/www/).
Next, create a new directory named "PineDocs" and copy the contents of the PineDocs directory to it using the following commands:
mkdir PineDocs
cd PineDocs
cp -r ../PineDocs/* .
Next, update your web server's configuration to point to the PineDocs directory.
For Apache, add the following VirtualHost configuration to /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/PineDocs"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/PineDocs">
Options None
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
For Nginx, add the following server block to /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your.domain.com;
root /usr/local/www/PineDocs;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Save and close the configuration file. Then, restart your web server by running service apache24 restart or service nginx restart.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PineDocs on NetBSD. You can now access PineDocs by visiting http://your.domain.com in your web browser.
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!
