FileGator is a web-based file manager that allows you to manage your files and folders with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FileGator on OpenBSD.
Before you can start installing FileGator, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Download the latest version of FileGator from their website: https://filegator.io/download/
Extract the downloaded files to a directory that is accessible by your web server (e.g. /var/www/htdocs/filegator/)
Rename the config.php.sample file to config.php and edit it to match your environment configuration (e.g. database settings, email configuration, security settings).
Make sure that the uploads/ directory and all of its subdirectories are writable by your web server user (e.g. www).
Add the following lines to your Apache configuration file (e.g. /etc/httpd.conf):
Alias /filegator "/var/www/htdocs/filegator"
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/filegator">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Make sure to replace /filegator and /var/www/htdocs/filegator with the path where you have installed FileGator.
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
# /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
Visit your FileGator installation in your web browser:
http://localhost/filegator
If you have installed FileGator on a remote server, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your server.
Login to FileGator using the default credentials (admin/admin) and change the password immediately.
That's it! You should now be able to use and enjoy FileGator on your OpenBSD machine.
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!
