How to Install DailyNotes on OpenSUSE Latest

DailyNotes is a simple web application to help users to create, read and delete notes. It is available on GitHub, and we can install and run it on OpenSUSE. Here's how:

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following before you start:

• OpenSUSE Latest installed on your system
• A web server, PHP, and MariaDB installed

Step 1 - Download DailyNotes

First, we need to download DailyNotes from GitHub. We can do this with the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/m0ngr31/DailyNotes.git

This will create a folder "DailyNotes" in your current directory.

Step 2 - Configure the Database

We need to create a database for DailyNotes. To do this, run the following commands:

$ sudo mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE dailynotes;
mysql> CREATE USER 'dailynotes'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dailynotes.* TO 'dailynotes'@'localhost';
mysql> exit;

Replace 'password' with a strong database password.

Step 3 - Configure DailyNotes

To configure DailyNotes, we need to edit the file app/config.php. Run the following command to open the file:

$ nano DailyNotes/app/config.php

Change the following lines to match your database settings:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'dailynotes');
define('DB_USER', 'dailynotes');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');

Replace 'password' with your database password.

Save and close the file.

Step 4 - Install Dependencies

DailyNotes requires some dependencies to work properly. Run the following command to install them:

$ sudo zypper install apache2 php7 php7-mysql mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server

Step 5 - Configure the Web Server

Next, we need to create a virtual host for DailyNotes. Run the following command to create a new Apache configuration file:

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/dailynotes.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /path/to/DailyNotes/public
    ServerName dailynotes.local
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/dailynotes_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/dailynotes_access.log common
    <Directory /path/to/DailyNotes/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace /path/to/DailyNotes with the path to the DailyNotes folder on your system.

Save and close the file.

Step 6 - Restart the Web Server

Finally, restart the web server to apply the changes:

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7 - Access DailyNotes

Open your web browser and navigate to http://dailynotes.local. You should see the DailyNotes homepage.

Congratulations! DailyNotes is now installed and running on your OpenSUSE system. You can create, read, and delete notes as you like.
