Fusio is an open-source API management platform that enables you to create, manage, and integrate APIs. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install the Fusio on OpenSUSE.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Fusio requires a web server to run. In this tutorial, we will use Apache web server.
To install the Apache web server, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2
After the installation is completed, start and enable Apache to start on system boot using the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
Fusio requires PHP 7.2+ to run. In this tutorial, we will install PHP 7.2.
To install PHP 7.2, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo zypper install php7 php7-mysql php7-curl php7-gd php7-ldap php7-zip php7-json php7-mbstring php7-tokenizer
After installing PHP 7.2, we need to configure it. Open the php.ini file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/php7/cli/php.ini
Find the following lines in the file and uncomment them (remove the semicolon):
extension=mysqli
extension=curl
extension=gd
extension=ldap
extension=zip
extension=json
extension=mbstring
extension=tokenizer
Save and close the file.
Fusio requires a database server to store its data. In this tutorial, we will install MariaDB.
To install MariaDB, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo zypper install mariadb mariadb-client
After the installation is completed, start and enable MariaDB to start on system boot using the following command:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
We also need to secure the MariaDB installation using the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the on-screen instructions to secure the MariaDB installation.
We will now download and install Fusio on our OpenSUSE machine.
To download the latest version of Fusio, execute the following command:
wget https://github.com/apioo/fusio/releases/latest/download/fusio_latest.zip
Next, unzip the Fusio archive using the following command:
unzip fusio_latest.zip
Move the fusio folder to the Apache web server's document root using the following command:
sudo mv fusio /srv/www/htdocs/
Give ownership of the Fusio folder to the Apache web server user using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache: /srv/www/htdocs/fusio
We will now configure the Fusio installation.
Open the Fusio configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/fusio/config.php
Update the database section with your MariaDB credentials:
'database' => [
'host' => 'localhost',
'name' => 'fusio',
'user' => 'fusio',
'password' => 'password',
],
Save and close the file.
We have successfully installed and configured the Fusio API management platform on our OpenSUSE machine.
To access the Fusio web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-ip-address/fusio.
You will be prompted to create a Super Admin account. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.
Once you have created the Super Admin account, you can start building your APIs using the Fusio platform.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed and configured the Fusio API management platform on our OpenSUSE machine. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you.
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!
