ProjeQtOr is a project management software that offers features such as task management, time tracking, expenses, and reports. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of ProjeQtOr on Arch Linux.
Before installing any software on your Arch Linux, it is recommended to update the system.
Open terminal and run the following command to update the packages list and upgrade existing packages:
sudo pacman -Syu
ProjeQtOr requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to run.
To install Apache, MySQL, and PHP run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache mysql php php-apache phpmyadmin
The command will install Apache, MySQL, PHP and PHPMyAdmin (a web interface to manage MySQL databases).
After installation, start the Apache and MySQL services:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start mysqld
To use ProjeQtOr, you need to create a MySQL database for the software to store data.
Login to MySQL:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a database and a user:
CREATE DATABASE projeqtordb;
CREATE USER 'projeqtoruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Grant privileges to the user on the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projeqtordb.* TO 'projeqtoruser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL:
exit
Download the latest version of ProjeQtOr from https://www.projeqtor.org/.
Extract the downloaded file:
tar -xzf ProjeQtOr-x.x.x.tar.gz
Copy the extracted files to the Apache web root directory:
sudo cp -r ProjeQtOr-x.x.x /srv/http/
Create a virtual host configuration file for ProjeQtOr:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/projeqtor.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /srv/http/ProjeQtOr-x.x.x
ServerName projeqtor.local
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/projeqtor_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/projeqtor_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Add the domain name and IP address to the hosts file:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add the following line:
127.0.0.1 projeqtor.local
Save and close the file.
Restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open a web browser and navigate to http://projeqtor.local.
You will see the ProjeQtOr installer screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the database details you created in step 3.
Once the installation is complete, you will see the ProjeQtOr login screen.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install ProjeQtOr on Arch Linux. You created a LAMP stack, installed ProjeQtOr, and configured Apache. With ProjeQtOr installed, you can manage your projects, tasks, and resources efficiently.
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!
