How to Install Stash on OpenSUSE Latest

Introduction

Stash is a simple and easy-to-use file sharing and collaboration platform. It is compatible with most operating systems including OpenSUSE. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Stash on OpenSUSE.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the following:

• A user account with sudo privileges
• A stable internet connection
• Terminal access

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to ensure that all the dependencies required by Stash are installed on your system. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo zypper in curl git unzip wget php7 php7-bz2 php7-curl php7-mbstring php7-openssl php7-pdo_mysql php7-tokenizer php7-json php7-xml php7-zip

Step 2: Download Stash

In this step, we will download the latest version of Stash from the official website. Run the following command to download the file:

wget https://stashapp.cc/download/latest -O stash.zip

Step 3: Unzip Stash

Once the file has been downloaded, the next step is to unzip it. Run the following command to extract the contents:

unzip stash.zip -d stash

Step 4: Move Stash to the Web Root Directory

In this step, we will move the extracted Stash files to the web root directory. Run the following command to move the files:

sudo mv stash /srv/www/htdocs/

Step 5: Change Permissions

We need to change the permissions of the stash directory to allow the web server to access the files. Run the following command to change the permissions:

sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/stash

Step 6: Set Up a Database for Stash

The next step is to create a database for Stash. Run the following commands to log in to MariaDB/MySQL and create a database:

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE stash_db;
CREATE USER 'stash_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON stash_db.* TO 'stash_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 7: Configure Stash

The final step is to configure Stash. Run the following command to navigate to the stash directory:

cd /srv/www/htdocs/stash

Next, rename the .env.example file to .env and open it using a text editor:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Change the DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_DATABASE fields in the .env file to the following:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USERNAME=stash_user
DB_PASSWORD=password
DB_DATABASE=stash_db

Save and exit the file.

Step 8: Start Stash

Now that Stash is configured, we can start the web server using PHP's built-in web server. Run the following command to start the web server:

php artisan serve

You should see output similar to the following:

Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Step 9: Access Stash

Open your web browser and navigate to the URL displayed in the previous step. You should see the Stash homepage.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Stash on OpenSUSE. You can now use Stash to share files and collaborate with others.

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!
