How to Install DailyNotes on OpenSUSE Latest

DailyNotes is a simple web application to help users to create, read and delete notes. It is available on GitHub, and we can install and run it on OpenSUSE. Here's how:

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following before you start:

• OpenSUSE Latest installed on your system
• A web server, PHP, and MariaDB installed

Step 1 - Download DailyNotes

First, we need to download DailyNotes from GitHub. We can do this with the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/m0ngr31/DailyNotes.git

This will create a folder "DailyNotes" in your current directory.

Step 2 - Configure the Database

We need to create a database for DailyNotes. To do this, run the following commands:

$ sudo mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE dailynotes;
mysql> CREATE USER 'dailynotes'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dailynotes.* TO 'dailynotes'@'localhost';
mysql> exit;

Replace 'password' with a strong database password.

Step 3 - Configure DailyNotes

To configure DailyNotes, we need to edit the file app/config.php. Run the following command to open the file:

$ nano DailyNotes/app/config.php

Change the following lines to match your database settings:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'dailynotes');
define('DB_USER', 'dailynotes');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');

Replace 'password' with your database password.

Save and close the file.

Step 4 - Install Dependencies

DailyNotes requires some dependencies to work properly. Run the following command to install them:

$ sudo zypper install apache2 php7 php7-mysql mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server

Step 5 - Configure the Web Server

Next, we need to create a virtual host for DailyNotes. Run the following command to create a new Apache configuration file:

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/dailynotes.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /path/to/DailyNotes/public
    ServerName dailynotes.local
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/dailynotes_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/dailynotes_access.log common
    <Directory /path/to/DailyNotes/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace /path/to/DailyNotes with the path to the DailyNotes folder on your system.

Save and close the file.

Step 6 - Restart the Web Server

Finally, restart the web server to apply the changes:

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7 - Access DailyNotes

Open your web browser and navigate to http://dailynotes.local. You should see the DailyNotes homepage.

Congratulations! DailyNotes is now installed and running on your OpenSUSE system. You can create, read, and delete notes as you like.

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!
