How to Install Chevereto on NetBSD?

Chevereto is an open-source image hosting script which can be used to create your own image hosting website. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Chevereto on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

  • A VPS or a Dedicated Server running NetBSD
  • SSH Access to the server
  • A sudo or root user

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can begin installing Chevereto, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. Connect to your server via SSH and run the following command to install Apache and PHP:

pkgin update
pkgin install apache php

Step 2: Configure Apache

Next, we need to configure Apache to work with Chevereto. Open the Apache configuration file in your preferred text editor:

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache24/libphp7.so

<Directory "/var/www/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and exit the file. Then, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo apachectl restart

Step 3: Download and Install Chevereto

Download the latest version of Chevereto from the official website or GitHub:

wget https://github.com/chevereto/chevereto/archive/refs/tags/latest.zip

Unzip the downloaded file:

unzip latest.zip

Move the extracted folder to the Apache document root:

sudo mv chevereto-latest /var/www/htdocs/

Set the correct permissions for the Chevereto directory:

sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/chevereto-latest
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/htdocs/chevereto-latest

Step 4: Install Chevereto

Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name followed by "/chevereto-latest" (example: http://your-server-ip/chevereto-latest/). The Chevereto installation page will appear.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. When prompted to enter the database information, use the following details:

  • Host: localhost
  • User: root
  • Password: your-root-password
  • Database: chevereto

Once the installation is complete, you can access the Chevereto admin panel by navigating to http://your-server-ip/chevereto-latest/dashboard/.

Conclusion

That's it! You have now installed Chevereto on your NetBSD server. If you encounter any errors or issues during the installation process, don't hesitate to refer to the official Chevereto documentation or seek help from their support team.
