Pydio is an open-source file-sharing and collaboration platform that allows you to access, store, and share files from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Pydio on your NetBSD system.
The first step is to install the Apache web server and PHP on your NetBSD system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add apache php
MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system. You need to install the MariaDB server to store the Pydio configuration and data. You can install MariaDB by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add mariadb-server
After the installation, start and enable the Mariadb service to start at boot time with the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Now that the MariaDB server is installed and running, it's time to create a new database and user for Pydio. Run the following command to log in to the MariaDB server as the root user:
mysql -u root -p
When prompted, enter the MariaDB root password, and press Enter.
Create a new database named pydio by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE pydio CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
Next, create a user named pydiouser and grant all privileges on the pydio database:
CREATE USER 'pydiouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pydio.* TO 'pydiouser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Remember to replace the password with a secure password of your choice.
Flush the privileges and exit the MySQL console.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
The next step is to download and install Pydio on your NetBSD system. You can download the latest version of Pydio from the official website (https://pydio.com).
Create a new directory for Pydio installation:
mkdir /var/www/pydio
Download and extract the Pydio archive to the /var/www/pydio directory:
cd /var/www/pydio
wget https://download.pydio.com/pub/core/archives/pydio-core-8.2.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf pydio-core-8.2.5.tar.gz
After extracting the files, set the permission on the Pydio directory:
chown -R www /var/www/pydio
chmod -R 755 /var/www/pydio
The next step is to configure Apache to serve Pydio over the web. Create a virtual host file for Pydio:
nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/pydio.conf
Add the following content in the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/pydio
ServerName yourdomain.com
<Directory /var/www/pydio>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/pydio_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/pydio_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Update the server name and directory path according to your server.
Save and close the file.
Now, enable the newly created virtual host and restart Apache by running:
echo "Include /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/pydio.conf" >> /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart
Now you can complete the Pydio installation by accessing the web interface. Open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com.
Select Your Language and click the Next button.
In the Database configuration screen, select the radio button for MySQL and enter the following details:
Click Next.
In the LDAP configuration screen, click Next to skip.
In the Admin user configuration screen, enter your desired admin user details and click Next.
Review your settings and click the Install button.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pydio on your NetBSD system. You can now log in to Pydio using the admin credentials you set up.
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!
