How to Install ResourceSpace on Void Linux

ResourceSpace is an open source Digital Asset Management (DAM) software that helps organizations easily manage and share their digital assets such as images, videos, and documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install ResourceSpace on Void Linux.

Steps

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing ResourceSpace, we need to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on our Void Linux system. We need to install the following dependencies:

• Apache web server
• PHP (version 7.2 or higher)
• MySQL/MariaDB database server
• ImageMagick
• Ghostscript

To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S apache php php-fpm php-mysql mariadb mariadb-client ImageMagick ghostscript

Step 2: Download and Install ResourceSpace

Next, we need to download and install ResourceSpace on our Void Linux system. Follow the steps below:

1. Get the latest version of ResourceSpace from their website using the following command:

curl -LO https://github.com/resourcespace/resourcespace/archive/v9.5.14.tar.gz

Note: Replace "v9.5.14" with the version you want to install.

2. Extract the downloaded archive to the Apache web root directory using the following command:

sudo tar zxvf v9.5.14.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/

3. Rename the extracted directory to "resourcespace" using the following command:

sudo mv /var/www/htdocs/resourcespace-9.5.14/ /var/www/htdocs/resourcespace/

4. Set the correct permissions for the ResourceSpace directory using the following command:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/htdocs/resourcespace/

Step 3: Configure PHP and Apache

Now that we have installed ResourceSpace on our Void Linux system, we need to configure PHP and Apache to work with it.

1. Open the PHP configuration file "/etc/php.ini" in your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
memory_limit = 512M
max_execution_time = 120

2. Open the Apache configuration file "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" in your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

<Directory "/var/www/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

3. Restart Apache and PHP-FPM services:

sudo service apache restart && sudo service php-fpm restart

Step 4: Configure MySQL/MariaDB Database

We also need to configure a MySQL/MariaDB database to work with ResourceSpace. Follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your MySQL/MariaDB server using the following command:

mysql -u root -p

2. Create a new database for ResourceSpace using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE resourcespace;

3. Create a new MySQL/MariaDB user for ResourceSpace using the following command:

CREATE USER 'resourcespace'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note: Replace "password" with a strong password of your choice.

4. Grant all the necessary privileges to the newly created user using the following command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace.* TO 'resourcespace'@'localhost';

5. Exit the MySQL/MariaDB prompt using the following command:

exit;

Step 5: Access ResourceSpace

Finally, we can access ResourceSpace using a web browser. Follow the steps below:

1. Open a web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:

http://<your-server-IP>/resourcespace/

2. The ResourceSpace installation wizard will appear. Follow the steps to complete the installation process.

That's it! You have successfully installed ResourceSpace on your Void Linux system. Enjoy managing your digital assets with ease!

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!
