How to Install MeTube on Fedora Server Latest

MeTube is an open-source video sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share videos. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install MeTube on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Fedora Server Latest is installed
• Internet connection
• Root access or admin privileges

Step 1: Update System

The first step is to update your system to the latest version. This can be done by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

MeTube requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Use the following command to install them:

sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-json php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

Step 3: Configure MariaDB

Once the dependencies are installed, we need to configure MariaDB. Execute the following command to start the MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

To secure the MariaDB installation, run the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

It will ask you a series of questions. Follow the instructions and provide appropriate answers.

Note: Make sure to remember the root password set during this process.

Step 4: Install MeTube

Clone the MeTube repository to your local system by running the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/alexta69/metube.git /var/www/html/metube

Change the ownership of the metube directory to the web server user using the following command:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/metube

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache configuration file for MeTube using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/metube.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/metube
  ServerName example.com
  <Directory /var/www/html/metube/>
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/metube_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/metube_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace the ServerName with your domain name or IP address.

Restart the Apache service using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Configure MeTube

Create a new database and user for MeTube by running the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

MariaDB> CREATE DATABASE metube;
MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metube.* TO 'metube_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB> EXIT;

Replace the metube_user and password with your own values.

Rename the config.sample.php to config.php located in the /var/www/html/metube directory:

sudo mv /var/www/html/metube/config.sample.php /var/www/html/metube/config.php

Edit the config.php file using the following command:

sudo nano /var/www/html/metube/config.php

Update the configuration according to your database credentials, domain name, and email address.

Step 7: Access MeTube

Open your favorite web browser and visit your domain name or IP address. You will be redirected to the MeTube installation page. Follow the instructions and provide the required details to complete the installation.
