Mounting

First you need to add the RPM Fusion repository

$ sudo dnf -y install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
$ sudo dnf -y install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Then you need to update the system to the latest packages

$ sudo dnf update

After that, go directly to installing FFmpeg

$ sudo dnf install -y ffmpeg

Finally, you need to make sure that FFmpeg is working properly. To do this, run the following command:

$ ffmpeg --help

Checking Fedora Version

Before we begin the installation of Grav CMS, we must check the version of Fedora

cat /etc/fedora-release
# Fedora release 28 (Twenty Eight)

Next, you need to create a new account, it is important that it is non-root and go to it

useradd -c "Alex Moure" alexmoure && passwd johndoe
usermod -aG wheel alexmoure
su - alexmoure

Note! In this manual, replace “alexmoure” with your username

Set the time zone

timedatectl list-timezones
sudo timedatectl set-timezone 'Region/City'

Make sure that your system is up to date

sudo dnf check-upgrade || sudo dnf upgrade -y

Install the necessary packages

sudo dnf install -y wget curl vim unzip

For easier operation, disable SELinux and Firewall

sudo setenforce 0 ; sudo systemctl stop firewalld ; sudo systemctl disable firewalld

Install PHP and the necessary PHP extensions

To install, enter the following command:

sudo dnf install -y php-cli php-fpm php-common php-curl php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-opcache php-pecl-apcu

Check the version

php --version

Next, you need to start and enable the PHP-FPM service

sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm.service

Install and configure Nginx

To install, enter the following:

sudo dnf install -y nginx

Check the version of Nginx

nginx -v

Launch and enable the Nginx service

sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl enable nginx.servic

Then configure Nginx. Run sudo vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/grav.conf and fill in the file with the following configuration

server {

  listen 80;

  server_name example.com;
  root /var/www/grav;

  index index.html index.php;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
  }

  location ~* /(\.git|cache|bin|logs|backup|tests)/.*$ { return 403; }
  location ~* /(system|vendor)/.*\.(txt|xml|md|html|yaml|yml|php|pl|py|cgi|twig|sh|bat)$ { return 403; }
  location ~* /user/.*\.(txt|md|yaml|yml|php|pl|py|cgi|twig|sh|bat)$ { return 403; }
  location ~ /(LICENSE\.txt|composer\.lock|composer\.json|nginx\.conf|web\.config|htaccess\.txt|\.htaccess) { return 403; }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
  }

}

Then check the configuration of Nginx

sudo nginx -t

Restart Nginx

sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

Install Grav

Create the root directory of the document

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/grav

Change the owner of the /var/www/grav directory to alexmoure

sudo chown -R alexmoure:alexmoure /var/www/grav

Go to the root folder of the document

cd /var/www/grav

Then download and unzip Grav

wget https://getgrav.org/download/core/grav-admin/1.4.8
unzip 1.4.8
mv grav-admin/* . && mv grav-admin/.* .
rm -rf grav-admin 1.4.8

After successful unpacking Change the owner of the /var/www/grav directory to nginx

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/grav

Run sudo vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf and set the user and group to nginx

sudo vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
# user = nginx
# group = nginx

Restart the PHP-FPM service

sudo systemctl restart php-fpm.service

Create /var/lib/php/session/ directory and change the owner to nginx

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/php/session/ && sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session/

Open http://example.com in your web browser and follow the instructions on the screen, so that you have access to Grav admin add /admin your URL

Install HTMLDoc

First you need to log in to your server as root and install htmldoc

dnf install htmldoc -y

After that, you need to move on to creating PDF documents from HTML markup

Create the First PDF from HTML

You need to quickly test this feature from your command line. Go to /tpm/ directory for this test

cd /tmp/

Now you need to create a simple HTML file that will be used to create the PDF document. Let’s name it for example “example-doc.html“

nano example-doc.html

Add the following HTML markup for it

<html>
<head>
<title>My first PDF from HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
This is the body of my first PDF document made from HTML.
</body>
</html>

Save the file by pressing CTRL + X then Y to save the changes. Next, you can instruct HTMLDoc by parsing the PDF from your example-doc.html

htmldoc --webpage -f postscript-output.pdf  example-doc.html
