Installing¶
Pick the page for the computer Cloudlog will live on. They all finish in the same place: a browser, a login, and an empty log.
- Docker runs Cloudlog on the computer in front of you, from the
devbranch. That is the setup used for development. - Linux is the one to follow for a server you leave running. Debian and Ubuntu, with PHP 8.5.
- DietPi is that same Linux install, on a Raspberry Pi, with DietPi doing the first part for you.
- Windows is a PC on the bench, using WampServer. Fine for you. A poor idea to open up to the internet.
- FreeBSD and OpenBSD are there if that is already what you run.
These pages are for the person setting the server up. They assume you are happy at a command prompt. Once the site is open in a browser, you can ignore them and carry on with the station pages.
Every install asks for the same four things when the wizard has finished:
- Create your own login and delete the demo user,
m0abc/demo. - Update the country files, from the Admin menu.
- Create a station location and set it active.
- Create a station logbook, link that location, and set the logbook active.
The next pages walk through the last two, and then logging a contact.
If you would prefer someone else to run the server, magicbug offer hosted Cloudlog.
