MeTube is an open-source media management system developed in PHP that allows users to create, manage, and share media content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MeTube on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update your OpenSUSE system to ensure that it has the latest packages and security updates. To update your system, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper update
This command will download and install all the available updates for your system.
MeTube requires some packages to be installed on your system. Run the following commands to install them:
sudo zypper install apache2 mariadb mariadb-client php7 php7-apache2 php7-mysql php7-mbstring
This command will install Apache web server, Mariadb database, and PHP7 along with its required extensions.
Next, we need to download MeTube from the official GitHub repository. Run the following command to download MeTube:
git clone https://github.com/alexta69/metube.git
This command will clone the MeTube repository and download all the files to your local system.
We need to create a new database and user for MeTube. Run the following command to login to MariaDB:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted. Once you are logged in, create a new database and user by running the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE metube;
CREATE USER 'metubeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metube.* TO 'metubeuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with your desired password.
We need to configure Apache to serve MeTube. Run the following command to open Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the bottom of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com # Replace with your domain name or IP address
DocumentRoot /path/to/metube # Replace with the path to your MeTube installation directory
<Directory /path/to/metube>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing 'CTRL + X', then 'Y', and then 'Enter'.
Next, restart Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to your domain name or IP address. You should see the MeTube installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will be asked to enter your database details. Enter the following details:
Once the installation is complete, you should see the MeTube dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MeTube on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use MeTube to manage your media content. If you faced any issues during the installation, feel free to reach out to the MeTube community for support.
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!
