ResourceSpace is a free, open-source digital asset management system that allows users to organize, store, and manage their digital assets, such as images, videos, and documents. In this tutorial, we will be installing ResourceSpace on NetBSD.
Before installing ResourceSpace, ensure that your NetBSD server meets the following requirements:
To download ResourceSpace, visit the official website at https://www.resourcespace.com and select the download option for the latest stable release. Once downloaded, extract the ResourceSpace files to a location on your NetBSD server.
$ tar zxvf ResourceSpace-x.x.x.tar.gz
Replace x.x.x with your downloaded version number.
ResourceSpace requires Apache to be installed and configured as a web server. Open the Apache configuration file in your preferred text editor and add the following code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName resourcespace.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/resourcespace"
<Directory "/path/to/resourcespace">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/resourcespace.example.com-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/resourcespace.example.com-access_log" combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "resourcespace.example.com" with the domain name of your ResourceSpace installation, and "/path/to/resourcespace" with the actual path to your ResourceSpace directory.
Save and close the file. Then, restart Apache to apply the changes.
$ /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
ResourceSpace also requires PHP to be installed and properly configured. Open the PHP configuration file in your preferred text editor and make the following changes:
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
max_execution_time = 120
Save the file and restart Apache to apply the changes.
Create a new MySQL or MariaDB database to store the ResourceSpace data. You can use the following commands to create a new database:
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE resourcespace;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace.* TO 'resourcespace'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Replace "password" with a secure password of your choice.
Open the "config.php" file located in the "include" directory of your ResourceSpace installation. Add the following code and configure it with your database details and preferred settings:
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "resourcespace");
define("DB_PASSWORD", "password");
define("DB_DATABASE", "resourcespace");
define("PREFIX", "");
define("DIR", "");
define("BACKUPPATH", "");
define("LOGINLOG", 1);
define("CREATED_MODIFIED", 1);
define("EXIFTOOLPATH", "/usr/local/bin/exiftool");
define("STORAGE_PATH", "/var/resourcespace");
define("THUMB_SIZE", 130);
define("THUMB_QUALITY", 85);
define("PREVIEW_SIZE", 1024);
define("WATERMARK_POSITION", "none");
Save and close the file.
Open your web browser and navigate to your configured ResourceSpace domain. Follow the on-screen instructions to install ResourceSpace. Once the installation is complete, you can log in to your ResourceSpace administrator account and start uploading and organizing your digital assets.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ResourceSpace on NetBSD.
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!
