Chevereto is a powerful, open-source image hosting script that allows users to easily share and manage images. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Chevereto on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the dependencies that are required for Chevereto to run. We will use the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo zypper in mariadb mariadb-client apache2 libapache2-mod-php7 php7-cli php7-gd php7-mbstring php7-mysql php7-opcache php7-pecl-imagick php7-mcrypt php7-json php7-session php7-curl php7-zip
Chevereto requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB here. Run the following command to install MariaDB:
sudo zypper in mariadb mariadb-client
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to configure the database:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
This will guide you through steps to set a new root password, remove anonymous users, disable root login from remote machines, and remove test databases. Once done, enter the MariaDB shell:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user for Chevereto:
CREATE DATABASE chevereto;
CREATE USER 'chevereto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chevereto.* TO 'chevereto'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Remember to replace 'password' with a strong password.
Now we can download and install Chevereto. Go to the official website at https://chevereto.com and download the latest version.
Extract the zip file to the web root directory, for example, /srv/www/htdocs:
sudo unzip chevereto.zip -d /srv/www/htdocs/
Change the ownership of the directory to apache:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/www/htdocs/
We need to configure Apache to serve the Chevereto web pages. First, enable the Apache rewrite module:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Edit the Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Remember to replace /srv/www/htdocs with the actual web root directory if it's different.
Restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
We need to configure Chevereto to connect with the MariaDB database. Edit the configuration file:
sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/app/settings.php
Find the following lines:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'chevereto');
define('DB_USER', '');
define('DB_PASS', '');
Set the database credentials:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'chevereto');
define('DB_USER', 'chevereto');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
Save the file and exit.
Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP or domain. You should see the Chevereto website. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your admin account, and that's it!
