Install TagSpaces on Ubuntu Server Latest

To install TagSpaces on Ubuntu Server Latest, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal and update your system by running the following command:

   sudo apt update

2. Once the update is complete, install the required packages by running the following command:

   sudo apt install -y apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-gd php-zip unzip

3. After installing the required packages, download the TagSpaces zip file from the official website using the following command:

   wget https://www.tagspaces.org/downloads/TagSpaces-3.8.0.zip

4. Extract the downloaded zip file using the following command:

   unzip TagSpaces-3.8.0.zip

5. Next, move the extracted TagSpaces directory to the Apache document root by running the following command:

   sudo mv TagSpaces-3.8.0 /var/www/html/tagspaces

6. Set the appropriate permissions for the TagSpaces directory by running the following command:

   sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/tagspaces

7. Configure Apache to serve the TagSpaces directory by creating a new virtual host file in the Apache sites-available directory. To do this, run the following command:

   sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tagspaces.conf

8. Add the following content in the configuration file:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName tagspaces.example.com
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tagspaces
   
       ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tagspaces_error.log
       CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tagspaces_access.log combined
   
       <Directory /var/www/html/tagspaces/>
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
           AllowOverride All
           Order allow,deny
           allow from all
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
   

9. Once you have added the content, save the file and exit the editor by pressing ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter.

10. Enable the newly created virtual host by running the following command:

    sudo a2ensite tagspaces.conf

11. Reload Apache by running the following command:

    sudo systemctl reload apache2

12. Finally, open your web browser and enter http://tagspaces.example.com/ in the address bar. This should load the TagSpaces login page.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed TagSpaces on your Ubuntu Server Latest instance, and you can now start organizing your digital life with TagSpaces.
