Tutorial: How to Install Galette on Alpine Linux Latest

Galette is a free and open-source membership management software. It offers a range of features such as membership management, payment tracking, and communication management. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Galette on Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A machine running Alpine Linux Latest.
• A root or sudo access to the machine.
• An internet connection.

Step 1: Update Packages

The first thing we need to do is update the packages on our machine. To do that, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade

This command will update all the installed packages on the machine.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, we need to install the packages required to run Galette. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo apk add nginx mysql mysql-client php7 php7-fpm php7-session php7-zip php7-phar php7-zlib php7-ctype php7-json php7-iconv php7-xml php7-dom php7-opcache php7-mysqli php7-gd php7-curl php7-tokenizer php7-simplexml php7-xmlwriter php7-xmlreader php7-mbstring

This command will install Nginx, MySQL, PHP 7 and all the other packages required to run Galette.

Step 3: Configure MySQL

Next, we will configure MySQL database. Start by running the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql setup

This command will setup the MySQL database service and initialize it. Once MySQL is initialized, we can create a new user and a database for Galette. To do that, run the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted. Then, run the following SQL commands:

CREATE DATABASE galette;
CREATE USER 'galette'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON galette.* TO 'galette'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Make sure to replace "yourpassword" with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Download and Extract Galette

Now we need to download and extract Galette. To do that, run the following commands:

cd /var/www
sudo wget https://download.galette.eu/Galette-0.9.4.2.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf Galette-0.9.4.2.tar.gz

This will download and extract the latest version of Galette to /var/www directory.

Step 5: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve Galette. Start by creating a new configuration file for Galette:

sudo touch /etc/nginx/conf.d/galette.conf
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/galette.conf

Then, paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain-name;

    root /var/www/htdocs;
    index index.php;

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

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass    unix:/run/php-fpm7.sock;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Make sure to replace your-domain-name with your domain name or IP address.

Step 6: Configure Galette

Open the Galette configuration file by running the following command:

sudo nano /var/www/htdocs/conf/galette.inc.php

Update the following settings:

$conf['db_type'] = 'mysqli';
$conf['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$conf['db_port'] = '3306';
$conf['db_user'] = 'galette';
$conf['db_pass'] = 'yourpassword';
$conf['db_name'] = 'galette';
$conf['db_prefix'] = '';
$conf['locale'] = 'fr_FR.utf8';

Make sure to replace yourpassword with the password you set in Step 3. Also, you can update the locale setting to your preferred language and encoding.

Step 7: Start Services

Finally, we need to start the services to run Galette. Start by starting Nginx and PHP-FPM services:

sudo rc-service nginx start
sudo rc-service php-fpm7 start

Then, start the MySQL service:

sudo rc-service mysql start

Step 8: Access Galette

Galette should now be accessible via your web browser at http://your-domain-name/. If you installed Galette on a local machine, you can access it at http://localhost/.
