MeTube is a web-based media platform that allows you to easily share videos and music with friends and family. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install MeTube on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, you need to ensure that you have the following requirements:
First, we need to update OpenBSD to ensure that we have the latest software packages.
sudo pkg_add -u
MeTube has some dependencies that we need to install. These dependencies include Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
To install Apache, PHP, and MySQL, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add apache httpd php php-mysql mysql-server
Next, we need to clone the MeTube repository from Github.
git clone https://github.com/alexta69/metube.git
Now, we need to move the MeTube files to the /var/www/htdocs/ directory.
cd metube
sudo cp * /var/www/htdocs/
Next, we need to configure MySQL. Run the following command to initialize MySQL.
sudo mysql_install_db
Once MySQL is initialized, we need to start the service.
sudo rcctl enable mysqld
sudo rcctl start mysqld
Now, we need to log into the MySQL shell by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Next, we need to create a new database and user for MeTube.
CREATE DATABASE metube;
CREATE USER 'metubeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metube.* TO 'metubeuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with your desired password.
Finally, we need to configure the MeTube configuration file.
cd /var/www/htdocs
sudo cp inc/config.sample.php inc/config.php
sudo vi inc/config.php
Update the following lines in the config.php file:
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'metube');
define('DB_USER', 'metubeuser');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
Replace 'password' with the password that you set in Step 5.
Now that MeTube is installed and configured, we can test it by visiting http://localhost in a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MeTube 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
