How to Install Fusio on Void Linux

Fusio is an open-source API management platform that helps developers to build, manage and monitor their APIs. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Fusio on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before installing Fusio, you should have the following:

• A SSH client or a terminal application with sudo access
• A Void Linux system with the latest updates
• A LEMP stack (Nginx, MySQL, and PHP) installed and properly configured

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Fusio, you need to install some dependencies which are required for Fusio to run. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu php php-curl php-mysqli php-pdo-mysql php-mbstring

This command will install PHP and its required packages.

Step 2: Download Fusio

Now, you need to download the Fusio package from its official website. To do this, run the following command:

wget https://www.fusio-project.org/releases/fusio-latest.zip

This command will download the Fusio package zip file to your current directory.

Step 3: Extract Fusio and Move to the Web Directory

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded zip file using the following command:

unzip fusio-latest.zip

After extracting the zip file, you will find a fusio directory. Move this directory to your Web directory, for example, /var/www/:

sudo mv fusio /var/www/

Step 4: Configure Nginx Server Block

Before accessing the Fusio web interface, you need to configure the Nginx server block. Open the default Nginx server block configuration file in a text editor:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Replace the contents of the file with the following:

server {
    listen 80;

    root /var/www/fusio/public;

    index index.php;

    server_name your-domain-name.tld;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
    }
}

Make sure to replace your-domain-name.tld with your domain name or server IP address.

Save and close the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, then ENTER.

Step 5: Start Services

Now, you can start the required services:

sudo systemctl start php-fpm
sudo systemctl start nginx

Step 6: Create a MySQL Database

Before accessing the Fusio web interface, you need to create a MySQL database for it. Log in to your MySQL server using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database and user using the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE fusio;
CREATE USER 'fusio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fusio.* TO 'fusio_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Make sure to replace password with a strong password for your Fusio user.

Step 7: Install Fusio

Now, you can install Fusio by accessing its web interface. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain-name.tld/install. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fusio on Void Linux. Now, you can build and manage your APIs using Fusio.

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!
