How to Install Kbin on OpenSUSE Latest

kbin.pub/">Kbin is a lightweight file sharing service that allows you to easily and quickly upload and share files with others. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Kbin on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need:

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• A domain name and DNS record configured to point to your server IP address

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, log in to your server as a sudo user and update the system package list:

sudo zypper update

Next, install the required dependencies for Kbin:

sudo zypper install git nodejs14 npm

Step 2: Clone Kbin Repository

Next, clone the Kbin repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/kbinpub/kbin.git

Change directory into the kbin directory:

cd kbin

Step 3: Install Kbin

Install Kbin using NPM:

npm install

Step 4: Configure Kbin

Next, you will configure Kbin by editing the config file:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Edit the file to match your server information and save the changes.

Step 5: Start Kbin

You can start Kbin using the following command:

npm run start

You should see a message indicating that Kbin has started successfully.

Step 6: Configure Nginx

To finish the installation, we need to configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for Kbin.

Install Nginx using the following command:

sudo zypper install nginx

Create a new configuration file for Kbin:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/kbin.conf

Paste in the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Replace example.com with your domain name.

Save the file and restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 7: Access Kbin

You should now be able to access Kbin by going to http://example.com in your web browser, replacing example.com with your domain name.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kbin on OpenSUSE Latest.
