Pydio - ArchWiki

Jump to content

Pydio (formerly AjaXplorer) is an open source web application, written in PHP, for file sharing and synchronization.

## Installation

Install the pydioAUR package. Further you will need a database (e.g. MariaDB), a web server (Apache HTTP Server, Lighttpd or Nginx) with PHP-support. You may refer following sites:

## Configuration

Make sure to adjust following variables to these minimal values in your `php.ini`:

    /etc/php/php.ini

    extension=exif
    extension=gd
    extension=iconv
    extension=mysqli
    session.save_path = "/tmp"
    output_buffering = Off

    file_uploads = On
    post_max_size = 20G
    upload_max_filesize = 20G
    max_file_uploads = 20000

In this configuration, we will configure the Nginx web server to serve Pydio on localhost in the root location without SSL enabled (even though it is recommended to use it with SSL). First, place a copy of the Pydio Nginx configuration

    # cp /usr/share/doc/pydio/nginx.conf.sample /etc/webapps/pydio/nginx.conf

replace the domain name

    # sed -i 's/pydio.example.com/localhost/g' /etc/webapps/pydio/nginx.conf

and reference this configuration file in the main nginx.conf:

    /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

    http {
        [...]
        include /etc/webapps/pydio/nginx.conf;
        [...]
     }

Here is an example on how you could setup a database for Pydio with MariaDB called `pydio` for the user `pydio` identified by the password `password`:

    CREATE DATABASE pydio;
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pydio.* TO pydio@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pydio';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Do not forget to (re)start your services (e.g. `nginx.service` and `php-fpm.service`)!

Visit the installation wizard page at http://127.0.0.1/ and follow the instructions.
