JIRAFEAU<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This time we are going to talk about how to create your own wetransfer with jirafeau on Debian 11, a very powerful opensource software with a basic API that will allow you to automate many tasks.<\/p>\n

The first thing is to update your system<\/p>\n

apt-get update<\/p>\n

apt-get upgrade<\/p>\n

init 6<\/p>\n

Once updated we will install the following software<\/p>\n

apt-get\u00a0 install nginx php php-fpm certbot git<\/p>\n

And we will enable the nginx and php-fpm services<\/p>\n

systemctl enable –now nginx.service php7.4-fpm.service<\/p>\n

Next we will request the SSL certificate with certbot<\/p>\n

certbot certonly –webroot -m tuemail@example.com -d tudominio –agree-tos<\/p>\n

When it asks for the webroot, enter \/var\/www\/html<\/p>\n

If everything goes well, you will find the files in \/etc\/letsencrypt\/live\/yourdomain\/<\/p>\n

Once this is done, we will configure nginx by deleting the default site<\/p>\n

rm \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default<\/p>\n

And now we create our site<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/tudominio.conf<\/p>\n

Pasting the following content, of course, replacing your domain name<\/p>\n

server {
\nlisten 80;
\nlisten [::]:80;
\nserver_name tudominio.com;
\nreturn 301 https:\/\/tudominio.com$request_uri;
\n}
\nserver {
\nlisten 443 ssl;
\nlisten [::]:443 ssl;
\nserver_name tudominio.com;
\nroot \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau;
\nindex index.php;<\/p>\n

ssl_certificate \/etc\/letsencrypt\/live\/tudominio.com\/fullchain.pem;
\nssl_certificate_key \/etc\/letsencrypt\/live\/tudominio.com\/privkey.pem;
\nlocation ~ \\.php$ {
\nfastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\\.php)(\/.+)$;
\nfastcgi_index index.php;
\nfastcgi_pass unix:\/var\/run\/php\/php7.4-fpm.sock;
\ninclude fastcgi_params;
\nfastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
\nfastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n

Now we create the symbolic link to activate it<\/p>\n

ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/tudominio.conf \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/<\/p>\n

We check that there are no errors in the configuration<\/p>\n

nginx -t<\/p>\n

And we recharge it<\/p>\n

systemctl reload nginx.service<\/p>\n

We will continue with the download and installation of Jirafeau<\/strong>, note that we first create the directory that we gave in the configuration file.<\/p>\n

mkdir \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau
\ngit clone https:\/\/gitlab.com\/jirafeau\/Jirafeau.git \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau<\/p>\n

We will also create the directory where the files will be stored outside of our webroot so that it is not accessible from the web server, for example, \/var\/data\/jirafeau<\/p>\n

mkdir -p \/var\/data\/jirafeau<\/p>\n

And we make www-data the owner of both this directory and the directory where it stores the configuration.<\/p>\n

chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau\/lib \/var\/data\/jirafeau<\/p>\n

Now you can access it from your browser via https:\/\/yourdomain.com, having to first enter the password you want for web administration. In the next step, enter the base address, that is, https:\/\/yourdomain.com\/ and the directory where the data will be \/var\/data\/jirafeau\/. We continue and after that it will work with the basic options that you have created in the file<\/p>\n

\/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau\/lib\/config.local.php<\/p>\n

What options can we use here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we edit the file<\/p>\n

cat \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau\/lib\/config.original.php<\/p>\n

We will be able to see all the available alternatives that we can copy and paste into our production file. It is in English but each option is very easy and intuitive. For example, if you want to upload files requiring a password, you just have to go to your configuration file and add the password as follows:<\/p>\n

‘upload_password’ =>
\narray (
\n‘password’
\n),<\/p>\n

You can add any password you want as indicated in the commented file. The options are many and very complete.<\/p>\n

What about the API?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can find the info at https:\/\/yourdomain.com\/script.php, where you even have a bash script. Just copy the content into a .sh file such as testapi.sh and give it execution permission chmod +x testapi.sh, then run it:<\/p>\n

.\/testapi.sh<\/p>\n

And he will give us back the help<\/p>\n

\"jirafeau<\/p>\n

NOTE!!!! One detail is missing, we edit the testapi.sh file and we must add https:\/\/ in JIRAFEAU_URL before our domain.<\/p>\n

FINALLY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certbot already includes in this version the cron to auto-renew, but it will fail because in the certificate request we told it that our webroot is \/var\/www\/html\/ and we have installed it in \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau\/ , in this case we have to edit the file:<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/letsencrypt\/renewal\/tudominio.conf<\/p>\n

and in the [[webroot_map]] section we add the directory so that it looks like this:<\/p>\n

tudominio.com = \/var\/www\/html\/jirafeau<\/p>\n

We save and the autorenew will no longer fail. We can check it with:<\/p>\n

certbot renew –dry-run<\/p>\n
