Pomf is a lightweight file hosting solution that allows users to upload, store and share files easily. Installing Pomf on OpenSUSE is relatively easy and can be done in a few simple steps as shown below:
The first step in installing Pomf on OpenSUSE is to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on your system. These include:
To install these dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo zypper install git nginx mysql php7 php7-fpm php7-mysqlnd
The next step is to clone the Pomf repository from GitHub. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to install Pomf and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Pomf/Pomf.git
This will create a new directory called Pomf that contains all the necessary files to run the Pomf application.
The next step is to configure Nginx to serve the Pomf application. Create a new Nginx configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory and add the following code:
server {
listen 80;
server_name pomf.example.com;
root /path/to/Pomf/;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}
Make sure to replace pomf.example.com with your domain name and /path/to/Pomf/ with the path to the Pomf directory on your system.
Save the configuration file and exit the editor.
The next step is to create a database for Pomf to use. You can do this using the MySQL command line client or any other database client that you prefer. Here's an example of how to create a new database called pomf:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE pomf;
The final step is to configure Pomf to use the database you just created. Open the config.php file in the Pomf directory and modify the following lines:
$dbtype = "mysql";
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "pomf";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "";
Make sure to replace the database details with the ones for the database you just created.
Finally, start the Nginx web server and the PHP FastCGI Process Manager (php-fpm) using the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx php-fpm
You can now access Pomf by visiting http://pomf.example.com in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed Pomf on OpenSUSE Latest.
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!
