Organizr is a powerful tool that allows you to centralize your web applications and services. It offers a clean and organized interface for managing all of your applications and services from a single, easy-to-use dashboard. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Organizr on Alpine Linux.
Before we dive into the installation process, there are a few things you'll need:
The first step is to ensure you have the latest packages installed on your server by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
This command will update all the installed packages to the latest version.
Organizr requires a few tools to be installed on the server before it can run correctly. These tools include Nginx, PHP, and MariaDB.
To install these dependencies, run the following commands:
sudo apk add nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-json php7-mysqli mariadb mariadb-client
After installing Nginx, we need to configure it to work with Organizr. To do this, create a new Nginx configuration file at /etc/nginx/conf.d/organizr.conf using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/organizr.conf
Then enter the following configuration directives into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your.domain.name;
root /var/www/organizr;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace your.domain.name with your domain name or IP address.
Save and exit the file.
Next, we need to create a database for Organizr. To do this, run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted, and you will be taken to MariaDB prompt.
To create a new database, run the following command:
CREATE DATABASE organizr;
Create a new user with the following command:
CREATE USER 'organizruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Remember to replace password with a strong password.
Grant the new user permissions to the new database using the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON organizr.* TO 'organizruser'@'localhost';
Finally, exit the MariaDB prompt using the following command:
exit
To download Organizr, run the following command:
sudo mkdir /var/www/organizr
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/organizr
sudo wget https://github.com/causefx/Organizr/releases/download/v2.1.8/Organizr-linux.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf Organizr-linux.tar.gz -C /var/www/organizr/
After the download is complete, navigate to the /var/www/organizr directory and open config.php with the following command:
cd /var/www/organizr
sudo nano config.php
Update the database settings with the following details:
$db['database_type'] = 'mysql';
$db['database_name'] = 'organizr';
$db['server'] = 'localhost';
$db['username'] = 'organizruser';
$db['password'] = 'password';
Save and exit the file.
Now that everything is installed and configured, we need to start the services. Run the following commands to do so:
sudo service nginx start
sudo service php7-fpm start
sudo service mariadb start
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to http://your.domain.name (or your server’s IP address).
You'll be prompted to choose your default theme and language. After making your choices, Organizr will display a login screen. Use the default login details (admin/admin) to log in to the dashboard.
That's it! You've successfully installed Organizr on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use it to manage your web applications and services from a single, clean interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
