FileGator

Docker

You can use the official docker image based on this Dockerfile

docker run -p 8080:8080 -d filegator/filegator
visit: http://127.0.0.1:8080 login as admin/admin123

Minimum Requirements

  • PHP 8.1+ (with php-zip extension)
  • Node 12 - 22

Download precompiled build

Precompiled build is created for non-developers. In this version, the frontend (html, css and javascript) is compiled for you and the source code is removed so the final archive contains only minimum files.

  • Download the latest release
  • Unzip files and upload them to your PHP server
  • Make sure your webserver can read and write to filegator/repository/ and filegator/private/ folders
  • Set the website document root to filegator/dist/ directory. This is also known as 'public' folder
  • Visit web page, if something goes wrong check filegator/private/logs/app.log
  • Login with default credentials admin/admin123
  • Change default admin's password

NOTE: For security reasons filegator/dist is the ONLY folder you want to be exposed through the web. Everything else should be outside of your web root, this way people can’t access any of your important files through the browser. If you run the script from the root folder, you will see the message 'Development mode' as a security warning.

Install on fresh Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 10.3

On a new server (get $100 in server credits) login as root and enter this into the shell:

apt update
apt install -y wget unzip php apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-zip php-mbstring php-dom php-xml

cd /var/www/
wget https://github.com/filegator/static/raw/master/builds/filegator_latest.zip
unzip filegator_latest.zip && rm filegator_latest.zip

chown -R www-data:www-data filegator/
chmod -R 775 filegator/

echo "
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/filegator/dist
</VirtualHost>
" >> /etc/apache2/sites-available/filegator.conf

a2dissite 000-default.conf
a2ensite filegator.conf
systemctl restart apache2

exit

Open your browser and go to http://your_server_ip_address
