Chevereto is an open-source image hosting platform that allows you to create your image hosting website. It is a perfect solution for those who want to share their images in a simple and organized way. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Chevereto on POP! OS latest.
Before you start the installation process, you need to install some dependencies required for the installation of Chevereto. You can install these dependencies by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apache2 php7.4 php7.4-mcrypt php7.4-gd php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-common php7.4-cli php7.4-bcmath php-imagick php7.4-xml libxml2-utils php7.4-zip php7.4-intl
This command will update your package index and install all the dependencies required for running the Chevereto application.
Next, you need to download the latest version of Chevereto from the official GitHub repository. You can download it using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/Chevereto/Chevereto-Free.git /var/www/html/chevereto
This command will clone the Chevereto repository to your server's /var/www/html/chevereto directory.
After downloading the Chevereto application, you need to configure your Apache webserver to serve the application. You can do this by creating a virtual host file for Chevereto.
To create a virtual host file, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/chevereto.conf
This command will open a new file in the nano editor. In this file, copy and paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/chevereto
ServerName example.com # Replace it with your domain name
<Directory /var/www/html/chevereto/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After adding the configuration, press Ctrl + O to save the changes and Ctrl + X to exit the editor.
Next, enable the newly created virtual host file using the following command:
sudo a2ensite chevereto.conf
This command will enable the virtual host file for Chevereto.
Before you can start using the Chevereto application, you need to create a database for it. To create a new database and user, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command will open the MySQL command-line interface. In this interface, run the following commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges:
CREATE DATABASE chevereto;
CREATE USER 'chevereto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'chevereto_password'; # Replace it with your own password
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chevereto.* TO 'chevereto'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
These commands will create a new database named chevereto, create a new user named chevereto, set a password for the user, and grant all privileges to the user for the database.
After configuring the database, you are now ready to install the Chevereto application. To install the application, open your web browser and go to your domain name or IP address. For example, if your domain name is example.com, go to http://example.com.
On the Chevereto installation page, follow the instructions to install the application. When prompted for the database connection details, use the following:
localhostcheveretocheveretochevereto_password (Replace it with your own password)After completing the installation, you can log in to your Chevereto application using the admin credentials you set during the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chevereto on POP! OS latest. You can now start using Chevereto to host and share your images.
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!
