The guide walks through turning a Debian 11 server into a FileRun file‑sharing hub, starting with updating packages and installing an Apache‑PHP‑MariaDB stack before enabling those services at boot. It then hardens PHP by raising upload limits, creates a dedicated database for FileRun, downloads the application archive to the web root, and sets proper ownership so Apache can write its logs. A custom virtual host is configured in Apache, followed by running the web installer to supply the database credentials, and optional HTTPS support is added with Certbot while basic security headers are placed in an .htaccess file for production safety. Finally, it suggests testing the installation by logging in, uploading a file, and checking logs for errors, reminding users that missing PHP modules or wrong permissions usually cause the most headaches.
