StockazNG is a video file management system that allows you to manage your video files and organize them into specific folders. If you're running OpenBSD, installing StockazNG is a straightforward process.
Before you begin the installation, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal on your OpenBSD system.
Run the following command to install the required packages:
$ doas pkg_add php php-mysqli php-session php-curl php-gd php-json php-mbstring unzip mysql-server
Next, you need to install composer. Run the following command to download and install composer:
$ doas php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
$ doas php composer-setup.php
$ doas php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Once composer is installed, you can download the StockazNG archive from the official website. Use the wget command to download it:
$ doas wget https://dev.sigpipe.me/dashie/StockazNG/archive/StockazNG-1.3.3.zip
Extract the downloaded file using the unzip command:
$ doas unzip StockazNG-1.3.3.zip
Move the extracted files into your webroot directory. This is typically /var/www/htdocs if you're using Apache web server or /var/www/ if you're using Nginx web server:
$ doas mv StockazNG-1.3.3 /var/www/htdocs
or
$ doas mv StockazNG-1.3.3 /var/www/
Create a MySQL database and user for StockazNG using the following commands:
$ doas mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE stockazng;
mysql> CREATE USER 'stockazng'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON stockazng.* TO 'stockazng'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Rename the configuration file and edit the settings as necessary:
$ doas cp /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/app/config/config.yml.sample /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/app/config/config.yml
$ doas vi /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/app/config/config.yml
You'll need to change the following settings:
database_host: 127.0.0.1
database_port: null
database_name: stockazng
database_user: stockazng
database_password: your_password_here
Install the required PHP modules using the following command:
$ doas cd /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3
$ doas php /usr/local/bin/composer install
Set the appropriate ownership and permissions for the StockazNG files and directories:
$ doas chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3
$ doas chmod -R 755 /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/app/logs /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/app/sessions
$ doas chmod -R 777 /var/www/htdocs/StockazNG-1.3.3/var/cache
