Organizr is a web-based front-end for your applications. It allows you to access all your apps in one place with a unified login. Here's how to install Organizr on Arch Linux:
Before installing Organizr, make sure that your system has the following dependencies:
sudo pacman -S nginx php php-fpm mariadb yarn nodejs
Clone Organizr repository from Github to your system using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/causefx/Organizr /var/www/html/organizr
Copy the Nginx configuration file from Organizr's directory to the Nginx config directory:
sudo cp /var/www/html/organizr/nginx/organizr /etc/nginx/sites-available/
Create a symlink of the Nginx configuration file in the enabled sites directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Install MariaDB with the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
Once MariaDB is installed, you will need to initialize the database:
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Start MariaDB, and enable it to start automatically:
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
Then secure your database:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Next, you need to create a database and user for Organizr to use. Log in to the MySQL shell:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you're in the MySQL shell, create a new database for Organizr:
CREATE DATABASE organizr;
Then create a new user and grant them full access to the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON organizr.* TO 'organizr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
Replace yourpassword with a strong password of your choice.
Exit the MySQL shell:
EXIT;
Copy the sample .env file to the main directory and edit it:
sudo cp /var/www/html/organizr/.env.example /var/www/html/organizr/.env
sudo nano /var/www/html/organizr/.env
Change DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD to match the database and user credentials you created earlier.
Set the necessary permissions for Organizr's files:
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/html/organizr
Install Organizr's dependencies using Yarn:
sudo yarn install --ignore-scripts
Then build Organizr:
sudo npm run build:prod
sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl restart organizr.service
Open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address, followed by :80. You should now see the Organizr login page.
Enter your credentials, and Organizr will take you to your dashboard, where you can access all your installed apps in one place.
Congratulations! You now have Organizr installed on Arch Linux.
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!
