How to Install ResourceSpace on EndeavourOS Latest

ResourceSpace is an open-source digital asset management system that enables organizations to 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 EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

A running instance of EndeavourOS Latest.
An SSH client such as PuTTY, if you are connecting remotely.

Step 1: Log in to your server

ssh [user]@[ip_address]

Step 2: Update the system

It is always a good practice to update your system to the latest version to avoid any security vulnerabilities.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 3: Install required packages

ResourceSpace requires several packages to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install them.

sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php php-apache imagemagick ghostscript ffmpeg

Step 4: Configure database

Next, we need to configure the MariaDB database. Run the following command to start the MariaDB service.

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Then, run the secure installation script to secure the MariaDB installation.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Set a strong password for the root user and answer the remaining questions. Finally, restart the MariaDB service.

sudo systemctl restart mariadb

Step 5: Create ResourceSpace database and user

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database for ResourceSpace.

CREATE DATABASE resourcespace_db;

Create a new user for ResourceSpace.

CREATE USER 'resourcespace_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';

Grant all privileges on the resourcespace_db to resourcespace_user.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace_db.* TO 'resourcespace_user'@'localhost';

Exit the MariaDB shell.

exit

Step 6: Configure Apache web server

Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for ResourceSpace.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/resourcespace.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName your_domain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/resourcespace
  <Directory /var/www/html/resourcespace>
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name.

Save and close the file.

Enable the Apache rewrite module.

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/{mod_rewrite.so,mod_rewrite.load}

Restart the Apache service.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Install ResourceSpace

Download the latest version of ResourceSpace.

cd /tmp && wget https://www.resourcespace.com/get/web-resource-management/latest

Extract the downloaded file.

tar -xf latest

Move the extracted files to the Apache document root.

sudo mv resourcespace /var/www/html/

Set the correct permissions for the ResourceSpace files.

sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/resourcespace/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/resourcespace/

Create a new file db.php in the ResourceSpace includes directory.

sudo nano /var/www/html/resourcespace/include/db.php

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file, replacing the placeholder values with your actual credentials.

<?php

$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'resourcespace_db';
$db_username = 'resourcespace_user';
$db_password = 'your_password';

$resource_path = '/var/www/html/resourcespace/';

?>

Save and close the file.

Restart the Apache service.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 8: Complete the installation

Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com/install.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Once the installation is complete, remove the install directory.

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/resourcespace/install
