In this tutorial, we will be guiding you on how to install Chibisafe on Ubuntu Server latest. Chibisafe is a lightweight file hosting and sharing platform designed mainly for anime and manga lovers.
Before we start with the Chibisafe installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To start, log in to your server via SSH as the root user. Next, update the packages list and install the required dependencies by executing the following command.
apt update && apt install git imagemagick libpq-dev build-essential postgresql -y
Now that we have all the necessary dependencies installed on the server let's proceed with the installation.
Clone the Chibisafe repository with Git to your default directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/arkenfox/chibisafe.git
Next, go to the Chibisafe directory and run the setup script to install Chibisafe.
cd chibisafe
./setup.sh
Follow the prompts to complete Chibisafe installation. The setup script will install all necessary system packages, create a PostgreSQL user and database, set up the configuration, and run migrations.
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Chibisafe service by running the following command:
systemctl start chibisafe
With this, Chibisafe is now up and running on your system. You can access it through your web browser, using your server's IP address or domain name.
Setting up a reverse proxy lets you access your Chibisafe on port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) without including the port number in the URL.
The following example configuration assumes you are using Nginx, if you are using a different web server make sure to modify the configuration files accordingly.
Create a new Nginx server block:
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/chibisafe.conf
Paste the following configuration and modify it with your own domain and SSL certificate.
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name domain.com;
ssl_certificate /path/to/your/certificate.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/privatekey.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
client_max_body_size 50m;
}
}
Enable your Nginx server block by creating a symlink to the sites-enabled directory.
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/chibisafe.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect.
systemctl restart nginx
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Chibisafe on Ubuntu Server latest. Now you can easily set up your own file hosting and sharing platform for anime and manga lovers.
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!
