## 🚀 Installation
|
|
|
|
### 1. Clone the Repository
|
|
Clone this project into your web root directory (e.g., `/var/www/html/podcast`):
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /var/www/html
|
|
sudo git clone https://git.linology.tech/michael/Podcast-server podcast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Set Permissions
|
|
The web server needs write access to specific directories for uploads and configuration:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/podcast
|
|
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/podcast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. PHP Configuration (Recommended)
|
|
Podcast audio files can be large. Ensure your `php.ini` (usually `/etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini`) allows large uploads:
|
|
```ini
|
|
upload_max_filesize = 100M
|
|
post_max_size = 110M
|
|
memory_limit = 256M
|
|
```
|
|
After editing, restart Apache:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl restart apache2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Run the Setup Wizard
|
|
Open your browser and navigate to:
|
|
`http://your-server-ip/podcast/setup.php`
|
|
|
|
The setup script will:
|
|
- Verify folder permissions and PHP settings.
|
|
- Create the MySQL database and tables automatically.
|
|
- Initialize the first Administrator account.
|
|
- Generate your `includes/config.php` file.
|
|
|
|
## 📂 Project Structure
|
|
|
|
- `/admin`: Administrative interface and management scripts.
|
|
- `/assets`: CSS, JS, and default assets. Uploaded media is stored here.
|
|
- `/includes`: Core logic, database connection, and utility functions.
|
|
- `/sql`: Database schema files.
|
|
- `feed.php`: Automatically generated RSS feed for podcast players.
|
|
- `setup.php`: The automated installation script.
|
|
|
|
## 🔒 Security & Git
|
|
- **Configuration**: The `includes/config.php` file is excluded from Git via `.gitignore` to protect your database credentials.
|
|
- **Uploads**: Audio and image uploads are excluded from Git to keep the repository lightweight.
|
|
- **Setup**: After a successful installation, it is recommended to delete `setup.php` or move it outside the web root.
