Mayan EDMS is an open-source document management system that allows users to organize and manage documents, images, and other digital assets. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mayan EDMS on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, we need to ensure that the system packages are up to date. To do this, open the terminal on your OpenSUSE system and run the following command:
sudo zypper update
This command will update all the system packages to their latest versions.
Mayan EDMS requires several dependencies to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo zypper install python3-pip python3-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi48 libjpeg-turbo-devel libyaml-devel libsqlite3-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libwebp-devel
Once the system packages and dependencies are installed, we can proceed to download and install Mayan EDMS. We will be using pip to install Mayan EDMS. Run the following command to install Mayan EDMS:
sudo pip3 install mayan-edms
This command will download and install Mayan EDMS and its dependencies.
It is a good practice to create a separate user for Mayan EDMS. To create a new user, run the following command:
sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash mayan-edms
This command will create a new user named "mayan-edms" with a home directory and shell set to /bin/bash.
The Mayan EDMS configuration file is located at /etc/mayan/settings/local.py. Open this file in a text editor and enter the following configuration:
SECRET_KEY = '<your-secret-key>'
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['<your-domain-name>']
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': '<your-database-name>',
'USER': '<your-database-username>',
'PASSWORD': '<your-database-password>',
'HOST': 'localhost',
}
}
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/mayan/static'
MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/mayan/media'
Replace "your-secret-key" with a unique secret key of your choice, "your-domain-name" with the domain name of your server, "your-database-name" with the name of your database, "your-database-username" with the username for your database, and "your-database-password" with the password for your database.
Once you have configured Mayan EDMS, you can start it by running the following command:
sudo mayan-edms.py runserver
This command will start Mayan EDMS on the default port 8000. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mayan EDMS on your OpenSUSE system. You can now use it to manage your documents and digital assets.
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!
