Phorge is a web-based platform for software development collaboration that combines the power of code and project management in a single tool. It is built on top of the famous Phabricator platform, which has a broad range of features for managing tasks, repositories, and builds.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step instructions on how to install Phorge on Alpine Linux Latest. Let's get started!
The first thing you need to do is to update the system to its latest version. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
This command will update all the packages on your system to their latest versions.
We need to install some dependencies that Phorge requires to function correctly. Run the following command in the terminal to install them:
sudo apk add sudo bash curl ca-certificates git php7 php7-cli php7-curl php7-dom php7-fpm php7-gd php7-iconv php7-intl php7-json php7-mbstring php7-mysqlnd php7-openssl php7-pcntl php7-phar php7-posix php7-process php7-session php7-xml git
This command will install PHP and some required PHP extensions, Git, cURL, and some other dependencies.
Phorge relies on MariaDB or MySQL as its database management system. Thus, you need to install it on your system. The installation process is as follows:
sudo apk add mariadb mariadb-client
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql
sudo rc-service mariadb start
sudo mysql_secure_installation
You will be asked to set a root password for MariaDB during the installation process.
To download Phorge, you need to go to its official website at https://we.phorge.it/. Once there, click on "Download" and then select "Phabricator (stable)".
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/phacility/phabricator.git phorge/
cd phorge/
sudo git checkout stable
sudo ./bin/storage upgrade
sudo ./bin/install-maniphest.sh
This command will pull the Phorge source code from the GitHub repository and install it on your system.
Phorge requires a web server such as Nginx to function correctly. Run the following commands to install and configure Nginx:
sudo apk add nginx
cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
sudo curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phacility/phabricator/master/resources/nginx/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/\/var\/www\/phabricator;/\/var\/www\/phorge;/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/share\/phabricator\/resources\/libphutil/\/var\/www\/phorge\/libphutil/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/share\/phabricator\/resources/\/var\/www\/phorge\/phabricator\/src/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/share\/phabricator\/webroot/\/var\/www\/phorge\/phabricator\/webroot/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/\$server_name/_/_g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo sed -i 's/80;/8080;/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf
sudo service nginx start
This command will install Nginx, download the Phorge Nginx configuration file from the Phabricator GitHub repository, modify it to apply to Phorge, and start the Nginx service.
You can now access Phorge by pointing your web browser to http://your_server_ip:8080 or http://localhost:8080 if you have installed Phorge locally.
