Kleeja is a powerful and easy-to-use file upload and download manager that is designed for websites. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to install Kleeja on OpenBSD.
Before we start with the installation process, we need to make sure that all the prerequisites for Kleeja are met. On OpenBSD, we will need:
First, we need to update and upgrade the system by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add -Uu
Next, we have to install the Apache web server. Run the command below:
sudo pkg_add apache-httpd
To install MySQL, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add mysql-server mysql-client
To install PHP, run the command:
sudo pkg_add php
Now that we have all the prerequisites installed, we have to configure Apache web server and PHP. In OpenBSD, PHP is usually installed with the Apache module. We will enable this module and configure the web server to use PHP.
sudo vi /etc/httpd.conf
Use your preferred text editor to open httpd.conf file and then add the following lines:
LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
Save and exit the file.
Next, we have to create a MySQL database for Kleeja. Run the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
After entering the MySQL shell, type the following command to create a new database:
create database kleeja;
To download the latest version of Kleeja, run the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/Kleeja/releases/download/v3.0.0/kleeja3.0.0.zip
After downloading, extract the archive file to /var/www/htdocs/ directory:
sudo unzip kleeja3.0.0.zip -d /var/www/htdocs/
We have to configure Kleeja before running it. Navigate to the Kleeja installation directory:
cd /var/www/htdocs/kleeja
Copy the config.default.php file and name it config.php:
sudo cp config.default.php config.php
Edit the config.php file, and replace the placeholder values with the specific database details:
$sitename = 'yoursitename.com';
$url = 'http://yoursitename.com';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'password';
$dbname = 'kleeja';
Save and exit the file.
Set ownership of the directory to www, so that Apache can read and write files:
sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/kleeja
Finally, open your web browser and go to http://your-server-ip/kleeja/ URL. This will take you to the Kleeja installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kleeja on OpenBSD.
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!
