Elkarbackup is an open-source backup solution that allows you to back up your files and folders. It is a robust and efficient solution that enables you to backup your files incrementally, compress them, and store them on any storage device or on the cloud. Installing Elkarbackup on OpenSUSE Latest is quite easy, and this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before you proceed, ensure you have the following:
Ensure your system is up to date and install the necessary packages by running the following command:
sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install git apache2 apache2-mod_php7 php7-mysql php7-gd php7-zip php7-bz2 php7-mbstring php7-json php7-iconv php7-curl php7-ldap php7-ftp wget
In this step, you will download Elkarbackup from the GitHub repository using git.
cd /var/www/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/elkarbackup/elkarbackup.git
Next, set the correct permissions to the Elkarbackup directory and its subdirectories.
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/html/elkarbackup/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/elkarbackup/
Create a virtual host configuration file for Elkarbackup:
cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/
sudo nano elkarbackup.conf
And add the following lines to the file:
Alias /elkarbackup "/var/www/html/elkarbackup/public"
<Directory "/var/www/html/elkarbackup/public">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then Enter.
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Visit the Elkarbackup web interface at http://your-server-ip/elkarbackup/ and walk through the installation process, providing the necessary details.
That's it! You have successfully installed Elkarbackup on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use the web interface to configure backups, monitor progress, and restore backup files.
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!
