Mejiro is a web application for managing and tracking bugs and issues in software projects. It is an open-source tool developed in PHP and JavaScript. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Mejiro on Arch Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that your Arch Linux system is updated to the latest version. Also, you need to have the following packages installed on your system:
You can install these packages using the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu apache mariadb php php-apache composer
Once installed, start and enable the Apache and MariaDB services using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start mysqld
sudo systemctl enable mysqld
The following steps will guide you on how to install Mejiro on Arch Linux:
First, clone the Mejiro repository from the GitHub URL:
git clone https://github.com/dmpop/mejiro.git
Navigate to the Mejiro directory and install the required dependencies using Composer:
cd mejiro
composer install
Next, create a new database for Mejiro and a new user with full privileges to manage the database.
mysql -u root -p
Once you are in the MariaDB shell, create a new database named "mejiro":
CREATE DATABASE mejiro;
Create a new user with a password and grant all privileges to the "mejiro" database:
CREATE USER 'mejiro_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mejiro.* TO 'mejiro_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit the MariaDB shell by typing "exit".
Copy the example configuration file and create a new configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the following configuration values in the .env file:
DB_DATABASE=mejiro
DB_USERNAME=mejiro_user
DB_PASSWORD=password
Save and close the file.
Next, run the following command to create the required tables in the database:
php artisan migrate
Mejiro requires write permission to the storage and bootstrap/cache directories. Run the following commands to set the required permissions:
sudo chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chown -R http:http storage bootstrap/cache
Finally, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Mejiro is now installed on your Arch Linux system. You can access it through a web browser by entering the following URL:
http://localhost/mejiro/public/
You can log in to Mejiro using the default username "admin" and password "password".
That's it! You have now successfully installed Mejiro 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!
