Cloudlog is an Amateur Radio logging application that runs on web servers, with an easy-to-use web interface to manage your logs. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Cloudlog on OpenBSD.
Before we can proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following requirements:
sudo privileges.Before we can install Cloudlog, we need to install Apache webserver and PHP on our OpenBSD system.
OpenBSD has Apache and PHP available in the package repository. To install Apache and PHP, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add apache php
Now that we have installed Apache and PHP, we can download Cloudlog. You can download the .tar.gz package from the official website at https://magicbug.co.uk/cloudlog/.
To download it, navigate to the directory you want to download it to and run the following command:
$ sudo curl -OL https://magicbug.co.uk/downloads/cloudlog.tar.gz
After downloading the Cloudlog package, extract the files to your Apache web root directory.
$ sudo tar -xzvf cloudlog.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/
Next, fix the file permissions for Cloudlog content:
$ sudo chown -R _www:_www /var/www/htdocs/
Finally, create an Apache virtual host for Cloudlog by creating a new configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/cloudlog.conf.
$ sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/cloudlog.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs/cloudlog/"
ServerName cloudlog.mydomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/cloudlog/">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Reload the Apache webserver configuration by running:
$ sudo apachectl graceful
You can now access Cloudlog by opening your web browser and navigating to your server's public IP address or hostname.
Congratulations, you have now installed Cloudlog on your OpenBSD system!
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!
