How to Install Hauk on Alpine Linux Latest

Hauk is an open-source web application that lets you share your location with others in real-time. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to install Hauk on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have:

• A Linux machine with Alpine Linux Latest installed
• A working internet connection
• Root or sudo user access to the machine

Step 1: Install Necessary Dependencies

Hauk requires several dependencies to function correctly. To install the necessary dependencies on Alpine Linux Latest, run the following command:

apk add mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-dev nginx tzdata php7 php7-dev php7-fpm php7-json php7-mbstring php7-mysqli php7-opcache php7-session

Step 2: Install and Configure MariaDB

Hauk uses MariaDB as its default database server. To install MariaDB, run the following command:

apk add mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-dev

Once you've installed MariaDB, start it with the following command:

rc-service mariadb start

Then run the following command to secure the MariaDB installation:

mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts and enter a secure root password when prompted.

Step 3: Create a Hauk Database

Now it's time to create a database for Hauk. To do this, run the following commands:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MariaDB root password when prompted. Once logged in to MariaDB, run the following commands to create a new database and user:

CREATE DATABASE hauk;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hauk.* TO 'hauk'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'haukpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Make sure to replace haukpassword with a secure password of your choice.

Step 4: Install Hauk

The next step is to download and install Hauk. To do this, run the following commands:

cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk.git
chmod -R 755 Hauk
chown -R www-data:www-data Hauk

Step 5: Configure PHP-FPM

Now we need to configure PHP-FPM to work with Hauk. Open the /etc/php7/php-fpm.d/www.conf file in your favorite text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:

user = www-data
group = www-data
listen = /run/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to work with Hauk. Open the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file in your favorite text editor and add the following lines at the end of the http block:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  hauk.example.com; # replace with your own domain name
    root         /var/www/Hauk/;
    index        index.php index.html;
    access_log   /var/log/nginx/hauk.access.log;
    error_log    /var/log/nginx/hauk.error.log;

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

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files       $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass    unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include         fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Step 7: Restart Services

Finally, we need to restart the services to apply the changes. Run the following commands:

rc-service nginx restart
rc-service php-fpm7 restart

Step 8: Test the Installation

Open your web browser and navigate to http://hauk.example.com (replace with your own domain name). You should be greeted with the Hauk login page. If you see this, congratulations! You've successfully installed Hauk on Alpine Linux Latest.
