Cloud Computing with eyeOS on Debian squeeze

eyeOS is a private cloud platform with a web-based desktop interface. Commonly called cloud desktop for its unique interface, eyeOS provides a complete cloud desktop with file management, personal information management tools, collaborative tools and company applications.

This is a new concept in virtual storage, which is considered revolutionary as it is a key service for the Web 2.0 since within a website that combines the power of the current Html, PHP, AJAXand JavaScript to create a graphical environment of type desk.

The difference between other desktop environments by making it possible to start the eyeOS desktop and all its applications from a web browser. There is no need to install any additional software, as you only need a browser that supports AJAX, Java and Adobe Flash (depending on the applications you want to run).

Install dependencies.

To install libreoffice:

https://red-orbita.com/?p=5842

we configure Apache

rokitoh@redorbita:# vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
ServerSignature Off

ServerTokens Prod

We activate the module mod_rewrite in apache

rokitoh@redorbita:# a2enmod rewrite

Enabling module rewrite.

Run ‘/etc/init.d/apache2 restart’ to activate new configuration!

We configure PHP

rokitoh@redorbita:# vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

We look for the line post_max_size = 8M and we modify it depending on the files we are going to upload. In my case I'm going to leave it at 200

post_max_size = 200M

Now we search upload_max_filesize = 2M and we modify it for the same reason as in the previous point. I leave it at 200

upload_max_filesize = 200 MB

We restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

We create the database and the user to manage the DB

CREATE DATABASE eyeos DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE USER ‘usereyeos’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘contraseña’;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eyeos.* TO ‘usereyeos’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘contraseña’ WITH GRANT OPTION ;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

We install GIT to download eyeOS

rokitoh@redorbita:# apt-get intall git

We download eyeOS

rokitoh@redorbita:# git clone https://github.com/tiste/eyeos.git

We move the downloaded folder to /var/www

rokitoh@redorbita:# mv eyeos/ /var/www

We give you full permissions to avoid installation problems.

rokitoh@redorbita:# chmod -R 777 /var/www/eyeos/
rokitoh@redorbita:# chown -R www-daa:www-data /var/www/eyeos

We access with our browser to http://IP_ADDRESS/eyeos/install/

We check that we have all the necessary packages installed

We fill out the form with the data of our previously created DB and the password for the root user.

The installation is completed.

We access with the root user and the corresponding password

Once logged in, this is what it will look like:
