PsiTransfer is an open-source web application that allows you to send and receive files over the internet securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of PsiTransfer on OpenSUSE Latest.
First, you need to install some required packages on your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2 php7 php7-curl php7-gd php7-zip mariadb mariadb-client
Next, you need to download PsiTransfer from its official GitHub repository. You can download the latest release by executing the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/psi-4ward/psitransfer/releases/download/vX.X.X/psitransfer-X.X.X.zip
Replace X.X.X with the version number that you want to download.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded archive to the document root directory of your web server. In this tutorial, we will use the Apache web server, and the document root directory will be /srv/www/htdocs. You can extract the PsiTransfer archive by executing the following command:
sudo unzip psitransfer-X.X.X.zip -d /srv/www/htdocs
Next, you need to create a MySQL database and user for PsiTransfer. You can do this by logging in to the MySQL/MariaDB server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you are logged in, create a new database for PsiTransfer by executing the following command:
CREATE DATABASE psitransfer;
Next, create a new user and grant it all privileges on the newly created database by executing the following command:
GRANT ALL ON psitransfer.* TO 'psitransferuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace psitransferuser and password with your desired username and password.
Once the user is created, flush the privileges by executing the following command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Next, you need to configure PsiTransfer. You can do this by going to the PsiTransfer installation directory and renaming the config.inc.php.example file to config.inc.php by executing the following command:
cd /srv/www/htdocs/psitransfer
sudo cp config.inc.php.example config.inc.php
Once the file is renamed, open it with a text editor and modify the following parameters:
$config['database']['dsn'] = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=psitransfer';
$config['database']['username'] = 'psitransferuser';
$config['database']['password'] = 'password';
$config['general']['timezone'] = 'Europe/Berlin';
$config['file']['directory'] = '/srv/www/htdocs/psitransfer/files';
$config['upload']['allowed_mime'] = 'image/*,audio/*,video/*,text/*,application/*';
Replace the values of the parameters with your desired values.
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve the PsiTransfer application. You can do this by creating a new virtual host configuration file for PsiTransfer by executing the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/psitransfer.conf
And add the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/psitransfer
ServerName example.com
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/psitransfer>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/psitransfer-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/psitransfer-access.log common
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name.
Once you have added the virtual host configuration, save and close the file.
Next, enable the virtual host configuration by executing the following command:
sudo a2ensite psitransfer
And restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Once you have completed all the above steps, you can access PsiTransfer by visiting your domain name using a web browser. The default URL is http://<your-domain>/. You will be prompted to enter your username and password to access PsiTransfer.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install PsiTransfer on OpenSUSE Latest. PsiTransfer is a powerful file transfer tool that allows you to send and receive files over the internet securely, and with this installation, you can set it up on your OpenSUSE Latest server with ease.
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!
