How to Install Quru Image Server on FreeBSD Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Quru Image Server (QIS) on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following:

• A FreeBSD Latest server
• A user account with sudo privileges
• A web server (Apache or Nginx)
• PHP 7.2 or later
• GD and Imagick PHP extensions installed and enabled

Step 1: Download QIS

First, download the latest version of Quru Image Server from the official website:

wget https://quruimageserver.com/download/latest.zip

Step 2: Extract QIS

Unzip the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip latest.zip

This will create a directory named "qis" in the current directory.

Step 3: Set Permissions

Change the ownership and permissions of the "qis" directory to the user and group that your web server runs as:

sudo chown -R www:www qis
sudo chmod -R 755 qis

Step 4: Configure Web Server

Apache

If you are using Apache as your web server, create a new virtual host configuration file for QIS:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/qis.conf

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName qis.example.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/qis
    <Directory /path/to/qis>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace "qis.example.com" with your own domain name and "/path/to/qis" with the actual path to the qis directory.

Save and exit the configuration file.

Restart Apache:

sudo service apache24 restart

Nginx

If you are using Nginx as your web server, create a new server block configuration file for QIS:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/qis.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name qis.example.com;
    root /path/to/qis;
    index index.php;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }
    location ~ .php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Replace "qis.example.com" with your own domain name and "/path/to/qis" with the actual path to the qis directory.

Save and exit the configuration file.

Restart Nginx:

sudo service nginx restart

Step 5: Configure QIS

Copy the configuration file template to the qis directory:

cp config/config.php.template config/config.php

Edit the configuration file:

sudo nano config/config.php

Set the following parameters:

• $config['server_url']: the base URL of the QIS server, e.g., "https://qis.example.com".
• $config['data_dir']: the path to the directory where the image files will be stored.

Save and exit the configuration file.

Step 6: Test QIS

Open a web browser and go to the URL of your QIS server. You should see the QIS homepage.

Upload an image file to test if QIS is working correctly.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Quru Image Server on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use QIS to manage and serve your image files.
