How to Install Pydio on Void Linux

Pydio is an open-source file management system that allows you to access your files from anywhere and any device. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of installing Pydio on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A working installation of Void Linux
• Root access or sudo privileges

Step 1: Update System Packages

We need to update the system packages before installing Pydio.

To update the system packages, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Su

This command will update all the system packages to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

To install Pydio, we need the following packages:

• Apache
• PHP
• MySQL

Run the following command to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL:

sudo xbps-install -S apache php7 mysql

Step 3: Install Pydio

To install Pydio, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and run the following command to download the Pydio package:

   wget https://download.pydio.com/pub/core/releases/pydio-core-8.2.2.tar.gz
   

2. Extract the downloaded package using the following command:

   tar xvzf pydio-core-8.2.2.tar.gz
   

3. Move the extracted directory to the Apache web server document root directory:

   sudo mv pydio-core-8.2.2 /srv/http/
   

4. Rename the Pydio directory to "pydio":

   sudo mv /srv/http/pydio-core-8.2.2 /srv/http/pydio
   

5. Change the ownership of the Pydio directory to the Apache user "http":

   sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/pydio
   

6. Restart the Apache web server using the following command:

   sudo systemctl restart httpd
   

Step 4: Access Pydio Web Interface

Now that Pydio is installed, open your web browser and access the Pydio web interface at the following URL:

http://localhost/pydio/

You will be presented with the Pydio login page. Enter the default username and password to log in to Pydio:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

You can change the default username and password later by navigating to the "Users" tab in the Pydio web interface.
