How to Install Uguu on Void Linux

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Uguu on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

• A working installation of Void Linux
• Access to the terminal

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Uguu requires the following dependencies to be installed on your system. To install them, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu nginx php-fpm php-json php-mysqli php-pdo_mysql php-gd php-zip php-mbstring git

This command will update your system and install the required dependencies.

Step 2: Clone the Uguu Repository

Now you need to clone the Uguu repository from its official GitHub page. Open your terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nokonoko/Uguu.git

Step 3: Configure Nginx and PHP-FPM

Uguu requires a web server to run. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx as our web server and PHP-FPM to process our PHP files. To configure Nginx and PHP-FPM, open your terminal and run the following commands:

Nginx Configuration:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/uguu.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain_name;

    root /path/to/Uguu/;
    index index.php;

    # SSL configuration
    ssl_certificate      /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key;
    ssl_dhparam           /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;

    # Security headers
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;

    # Deny access to sensitive files
    location ~ /\.(ht|git|svn) {
        deny all;
    }

    location / {
        # Serve PHP files
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico {
        log_not_found off;
        access_log off;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        # Serve PHP files with PHP-FPM
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    # Gzip compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
}

Save the file and exit the editor.

PHP-FPM Configuration:

sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/uguu.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:

[uguu]
listen = /run/php-fpm/uguu.sock
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
user = nginx
group = nginx
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 5
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 3

; Security settings
; Prevent PHP scripts from executing in sensitive directories.
php_admin_value[open_basedir] = /path/to/Uguu/:/tmp/
php_admin_flag[allow_url_fopen] = off
php_admin_flag[expose_php] = off
php_admin_flag[display_errors] = off
php_admin_value[date.timezone] = Europe/London

Don't forget to replace /path/to/Uguu/ with the actual path to your Uguu installation.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 4: Enable Nginx and PHP-FPM

Now you need to enable Nginx and PHP-FPM. To do so, open your terminal and run the following commands:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/uguu.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/uguu.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/php-fpm.d/uguu.conf /etc/php-fpm.d/uguu.conf

Now restart Nginx and PHP-FPM:

sudo service nginx restart
sudo service php-fpm restart

Step 5: Test Uguu

You have completed the installation of Uguu on your system. Now you can test it by visiting http://your_domain_name/upload.php in your web browser.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Uguu on Void Linux!

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!
