PHPBack is an open-source web-based system for managing projects, tasks, and other related activities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps needed to install PHPBack on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we get started with the installation, make sure your system meets these requirements:
The first step is to install the required packages to run PHPBack. Run the following command to install them:
apk --update add php7 php7-fpm php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-ctype php7-json php7-session php7-mbstring php7-tokenizer php7-xml php7-xmlwriter composer curl
Next, you need to install a web server to run PHPBack. For this tutorial, we will use Nginx web server. Run the following command to install Nginx:
apk --update add nginx
After the installation, you need to configure Nginx to listen on port 80. Edit the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following line inside the http block:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm7.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Save the file and then start the Nginx service:
rc-update add nginx default
rc-service nginx start
Now, we can install PHPBack. First, navigate to the directory where you want to install PHPBack. In this tutorial, we will install it in /var/www/html.
cd /var/www/html
Next, download PHPBack using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/phpback/phpback.git
Once the download is complete, change the ownership of the PHPBack directory to the Nginx user www-data:
chown -R www-data:www-data phpback/
Finally, navigate to the phpback directory and install the required dependencies using Composer:
cd phpback
composer install
PHPBack should now be installed and accessible. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see the PHPBack login page.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install PHPBack on Alpine Linux Latest. Now you can start using your new project management system to manage tasks and projects.
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!
