This tutorial will be showing you how to install ProjectSend on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Nginx web server.
What’s ProjectSend?
ProjectSend is a free open-source self-hosted file-sharing solution. ProjectSend Features:
- Real-time statistics
- Create client groups
- self-registration and social login
- Custom E-mail templates
Prerequisites
ProjectSend is written in PHP programing language. To follow this tutorial, you first need to install LEMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04. If you haven’t already done so, please check out the following tutorial.
You can install ProjectSend on your home server or a VPS (virtual private server). You also need a domain name, so later on your will be able to enable HTTPS to encrypt the HTTP traffic. I registered my domain name from NameCheap because the price is low and they give whois privacy protection free for life. ProjectSend can be installed without a domain name, but it really doesn’t make sense if you don’t encrypt the HTTP connection to prevent snooping. I recommend buying a domain name, if you really want to tinker with server software and use them to the fullest potential.
Now let’s install ProjectSend.
