Groceri.es is a lightweight and open-source web-based grocery management system that enables individuals and families to organize and manage their grocery lists easily. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system.
Before starting, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to install the required packages to run Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S git apache php php-apache mariadb
This command will install the required packages for running Groceri.es on your system.
Groceri.es requires a database to store the user data. You can create a new database and user for Groceri.es by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
This command will open the MySQL shell. Next, run the following SQL commands to create the database and user:
CREATE DATABASE groceri;
CREATE USER 'groceri'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON groceri.* TO 'groceri'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.
Now, you can download and install Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system. Run the following commands:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/groceri
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/groceri
cd /var/www/html/groceri
sudo git clone https://github.com/tobysteward/groceries.git .
sudo chmod -R 777 app/data
These commands will download the latest version of Groceri.es from the official GitHub repository and place it in the appropriate directory.
To configure Apache to serve Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system, you need to create a virtual host file for Groceri.es.
Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo touch /etc/httpd/conf/extra/groceri.conf
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/groceri.conf
This command will create and open a new file named 'groceri.conf' in the Nano text editor.
Copy the following code snippet into the Nano editor:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName groceri.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/groceri/public
<Directory "/var/www/html/groceri/public">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/groceri_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/groceri_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.
Next, enable the virtual host by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/groceri.conf /etc/httpd/conf-enabled/
Restart the Apache server to apply the changes by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, you can access Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system by opening a web browser and visiting http://groceri.local.
You will be prompted to run the setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the database and user settings.
Once you have completed the setup wizard, you can start using Groceri.es to organize and manage your grocery lists.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Groceri.es on your Arch Linux system.
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!
