How to Install HRCloud2 on Ubuntu Server Latest

This tutorial will show you how to install HRCloud2, an open-source cloud storage system, on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Ubuntu Server Latest installed with sudo access.
• A domain or subdomain pointing to your server's IP address.
• Docker, Docker Compose, and Git installed on your server.

Step 1 - Clone the Repository

To install HRCloud2, we need to clone its repository from GitHub. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal session on your server

2. Run the following command to install Git:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install git
   

3. Next, navigate to the directory where you want to install HRCloud2. For this tutorial, we will use the home directory.

   cd ~
   

4. Clone the HRCloud2 repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/zelon88/HRCloud2
   

5. Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the HRCloud2 directory.

   cd HRCloud2
   

Step 2 - Setting Up Environment Variables

HRCloud2 requires some environment variables to be set. We will create a file called .env in the HRCloud2 directory, and store these environment variables there. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create the .env file in the HRCloud2 directory.

   touch .env
   

2. Open the .env file using your favorite text editor.

   nano .env
   

3. Add the following environment variables to the file:

   HR_DOMAIN=yourdomain.com
   S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[access_key]
   S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[secret_key]
   S3_BUCKET_NAME=[bucket_name]
   

   Replace yourdomain.com with the domain or subdomain you want to use for HRCloud2. Replace [access_key], [secret_key], and [bucket_name] with your own credentials.

4. Save and close the .env file.

Step 3 - Deploy HRCloud2 Using Docker Compose

Now that HRCloud2 and its environment variables are set up, it's time to deploy it using Docker Compose. To do this, execute the following command in the HRCloud2 directory:

docker-compose up -d

This command will download and build the HRCloud2 Docker images, and start the HRCloud2 containers in the background.

Step 4 - Access HRCloud2

Once the installation is complete, HRCloud2 should be running on your server. To access it, go to http://yourdomain.com or http://yourdomain.com:83.

You should see the HRCloud2 login page. Enter your credentials to log in.

That's it! You can now use HRCloud2 to store and manage your files.
