XBackBone is a simple, self-hosted, lightweight PHP backend for the instant sharing tool ShareX. It supports uploading and displaying images, GIF, video, code, formatted text, and file downloading and uploading. Also have a web UI with multi user management and past uploads history.
XBackBone require PHP >= `7.1`, the composer package manager, writable storage path and PDO, with installed the needed extensions (ex. `php-sqlite3` for SQLite):
By default, XBackBone will use Sqlite as DB engine, and a `storage` dir in the current directory. You can leave these settings unchanged for a simple personal installation.
You must set the `base_url`, or remove it for get dynamically the url from request (not raccomanded).
```php
return [
'base_url' => 'https://myaswesomedomain.com', // no trailing slash
'storage_dir' => 'storage',
'db' => [
'connection' => 'sqlite',
'dsn' => 'resources/database/xbackbone.db',
'username' => null, // username and password not needed for sqlite
'password' => null,
]
];
```
+ Finally, run the migrate script to setup the database
```sh
php bin/migrate --install
```
+ Now just login with `admin/admin`, **be sure to change these credentials after your first login**.
If you do not use Apache, or the Apache `.htaccess` is not enabled, set your web server so that the `static/` folder is the only one accessible from the outside, otherwise even private uploads and logs will be accessible!
