Tutorial: Installing and Setting Up WBO on Fedora Server Latest

Introduction

WBO (White Bophir) is a free and open-source web application that allows users to remotely access and control their computers. It is written in Python and has features such as file sharing, remote desktop access, and remote command execution capabilities. This tutorial will guide you through the installation and setup process of WBO on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A Fedora Server Latest distribution installed
  • A user account with sudo privileges
  • Python3 and pip3 installed and configured

Step 1: Update the system

First, we need to update the system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Git

WBO is hosted on GitHub, and we need to download the source code using Git. Run the following command to install Git:

sudo dnf install git -y

Step 3: Clone the WBO repository

Next, clone the WBO repository from GitHub using Git:

git clone https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir.git

This will create a folder called "whitebophir" in your current directory.

Step 4: Install the required Python modules

WBO requires some Python modules to run correctly, such as Flask and Flask-SocketIO. Navigate to the "whitebophir" directory and run the following command to install these modules:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Generate a self-signed SSL certificate

To ensure secure communication between the client and the server, we need to generate a self-signed SSL certificate. You can use the OpenSSL command to generate the certificate:

sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

This will generate a private key file called "key.pem" and a self-signed SSL certificate file called "cert.pem".

Step 6: Configure the WBO settings

Navigate to the "whitebophir" directory, and open the "config.py" file in a text editor of your choice.

Update the following settings:

  • Set the "SECRET_KEY" to a long and complex string (this is used to secure the Flask session)
  • Set the "PASSWORD" to a strong password (this is used to authenticate the user)
  • Set the "SSL_CERT_FILE" and "SSL_KEY_FILE" to the paths of the self-signed SSL certificate files (generated in Step 5)

Step 7: Start the WBO server

After configuring the settings, we can start the WBO server. Run the following command in the "whitebophir" directory:

python3 app.py

You should see the following output:

(22715) wsgi starting up on http://127.0.0.1:5000

This means that the WBO server is running and listening on port 5000.

Step 8: Access WBO from the web browser

Open a web browser and navigate to "https://server-ip-address:5000". Replace "server-ip-address" with the IP address or hostname of your Fedora Server. You may get a warning that the SSL certificate is not trusted, but you can ignore it and proceed to the website.

You should now see the WBO login page. Enter the password you set in Step 6 and click "Log in". You should now have access to the WBO dashboard, where you can manage your remote files and access your computer's desktop remotely.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up WBO on your Fedora Server Latest. If you have any questions or run into any issues, consult the WBO documentation or post in the WBO GitHub issues page.
