How to Install Uguu on Clear Linux Latest

Uguu is a free and open-source software that allows users to easily upload and share files. It offers a simple and customizable interface with a range of features, including password protection and expiry dates for uploaded files. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Uguu on the latest version of Clear Linux.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Clear Linux system with root privileges
  • An internet connection

Step 1 - Install Required Dependencies

Firstly, you need to install the required dependencies for Uguu to run. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add curl git php-basic php-pcntl php-pgsql php-pdo-pgsql

This command will install the necessary packages needed for Uguu to function properly.

Step 2 - Download Uguu

Next, you need to download the Uguu source code. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nokonoko/Uguu.git /var/www/uguu.se

This command will clone the Uguu repository into the /var/www/uguu.se directory.

Step 3 - Configure Uguu

Now that you have downloaded the source code, you need to configure Uguu. To do this, navigate to the Uguu directory and copy the sample configuration file:

cd /var/www/uguu.se
cp includes/settings.sample.php includes/settings.php

Next, use a text editor to modify the includes/settings.php file and configure the following settings:

  • $files_root - the path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored
  • $base_url - the base URL of your Uguu installation
  • $debug - whether or not to enable debugging mode (recommended to set it to false in production)
  • $password - an optional password to restrict file uploads
  • $delete_key - the key used for deleting files

Save and close the file when you're done.

Step 4 - Configure PHP

Uguu requires some PHP settings to be configured properly. Open your preferred text editor and edit the /etc/php.ini file:

sudo vim /etc/php.ini

Find the following configuration settings and uncomment them (remove the ; at the beginning of the line):

extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so

Save and close the file.

Step 5 - Configure Apache

By default, Clear Linux uses the Apache web server. You need to configure Apache to serve files from the Uguu directory.

Edit the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

Alias /files /var/www/uguu.se/files
<Directory /var/www/uguu.se>
   Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 6 - Restart Apache

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7 - Access Uguu

Now that you have installed and configured Uguu, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the URL of your Uguu installation.

For example, if your Uguu installation is located at http://localhost/uguu.se/, you can access it by opening http://localhost/uguu.se/ in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Uguu on the latest version of Clear Linux. Now you can easily upload and share files with your friends and colleagues!
