Non-docker Installation for CMS 4.5.0

Since there are some big changes in how everything works for a few versions now I needed to upgrade my guide. I decided since there has been a refresh on the UI I would create an entirely new guide rather than updating my old one.

Thanks for your guide, it seems anyway that:
“Enter http://localhost:8081 for the XMR Private Address. This is the API access and is only needed from the CMS to XMR.”
Should be instead:
Enter http://yourserverip:8081 for the XMR Private Address. This is the API access and is only needed from the CMS to XMR.

There are several reports in which “localhost” or “127.0.0.1” doesn’t seem to work…

I experienced that issue myself. I have updated the guide. Thanks!

Also I suggest you the following:

Instead of
cd /srv/xibo-cms/vendor/bin
curl -OJL https://github.com/xibosignage/xibo-xmr/releases/download/1.3/xmr.phar

mkdir /srv/xmr
cd /srv/xmr
curl -OJL https://github.com/xibosignage/xibo-xmr/releases/download/1.3/xmr.phar

and configure xmr service accordingly…
This makes easier to upgrade from one version of xibo cms to another
The same apply for cmslibrary.. place it outside of /srv/xibo-cms/ I place it in /srv/cmslibrary

I have made the changes to use /srv/xibo-xmr for XMR.

I am already using /var/lib/xibo-cms for the library files.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I still see the old version of the guide…

It’s probably cached.
