How to host LibreX

These instructions are for Debian GNU/Linux but it should be similar on all GNU/Linux distros and *BSD systems.

Install the packages

sudo apt install php php-fpm php-dom php-curl nginx git

Clone LibreX

git clone https://github.com/hnhx/librex.git

Rename the config and opensearch file

cd librex
mv config.php.example config.php
mv opensearch.xml.example opensearch.xml

Change opensearch.xml to point to your domain

sed -i 's/http:\/\/localhost:80/https:\/\/your.domain/g' opensearch.xml

Example nginx config

server {
        listen 80;

        server_name your.domain;

        root /var/www/html/librex;
        index index.php;

        location ~ \.php$ {
               include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
               fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock;
        }
}

Remove the .php extension (optional)

location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ @extensionless-php;
}

location @extensionless-php {
       rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
}

Start the php-fpm and the nginx systemd service

sudo systemctl enable --now php-fpm nginx

Now LibreX should be running!
