FileRun is a powerful file management and sharing application that allows users to easily organize, share, and collaborate on files. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install FileRun on Debian 11.

Step 1: Update Your System

Start by ensuring your system is up to date:

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Install the necessary packages:

sudo apt install -y apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php \
php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-curl

Step 3: Configure MariaDB

Secure your MariaDB installation:

CREATE DATABASE filerun;
CREATE USER 'filerunuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON filerun.* TO 'filerunuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 4: Download FileRun

Download the latest version of FileRun:

wget -O filerun.zip https://filerun.com/download-latest

Unzip the downloaded file:

unzip filerun.zip -d /var/www/html/

Change the ownership of the directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/FileRun

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache configuration file for FileRun:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/filerun.conf

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/FileRun

    <Directory /var/www/html/FileRun>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
