Tine - Community Edition is an open-source groupware and CRM solution that offers a range of features like email, contact management, calendar, and task management. Tine operates through web-based UI making it easily accessible through the internet. Tine offers two editions, Enterprise, and Community.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Tine - Community Edition on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before you proceed with the installation of Tine, you need to ensure that your Arch Linux system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Once the system is updated, you need to install the dependencies required to run Tine using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache mysql php php-apache php-intl php-ldap php-pgsql php-mysql php-gd imagick ghostscript exiftool tnef clamav spamassassin memcached php-memcached postfix
In this step, we will download Tine from its repository using Git. Git is not officially part of Arch Linux's package groups, but it is available for installation from the official Arch Linux community repository. You can install Git using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
After successful installation of git, you can proceed to download the Tine - Community Edition using git clone:
sudo git clone https://github.com/tine20/Tine-Community.git /srv/http/tine20
After cloning the Tine, you need to create a new Linux group and user to run Tine. You can use the following command for this purpose:
sudo groupadd tine
sudo useradd -g tine tine
Now, run the following command to grant appropriate permissions to the tine user:
sudo chown -R tine:tine /srv/http/tine20
sudo chmod -R 770 /srv/http/tine20
In this step, we will configure the Apache server to run Tine. Apache is the most popular web server for Linux and is available for installation via the Arch Linux package management system.
After the installation of Apache, you need to enable the necessary modules using the following command:
sudo sed -i 's,#LoadModule rewrite_module,LoadModule rewrite_module,' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sudo sed -i 's,#LoadModule headers_module,LoadModule headers_module,' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sudo sed -i 's,#LoadModule expires_module,LoadModule expires_module,' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Now, you need to create a new Apache virtual host configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/tine20.conf
Add the following code to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your.servername.com
DocumentRoot /srv/http/tine20
DirectoryIndex index.php
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/tine_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/tine_access.log combined
<Directory "/srv/http/tine20">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now, save and close the file using the CTRL + X, then Y, and then ENTER keys.
After creating the virtual host configuration, check the syntax using the following command:
sudo apachectl configtest
If there are no syntax errors, reload Apache using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Now you can open your preferred web browser and enter your server's IP address/FQDN followed by /setup.php to access the Tine setup page. For example, http://192.168.35.123/setup.php. You'll see the following message:
Welcome to Tine 2.0 setup!
If you are upgrading an existing installation, please choose the Upgrade option until you come to the database configuration step. You will then have the option of upgrading your installation or installing a new installation in the same database.
The configuration process should only take a few minutes.
Click the install button to start the setup process, or use the settings link above to change the settings first.
Click the Settings link to configure the following options:
After configuring the settings, click the Install button to start the installation process.
After the installation completes successfully, close the setup wizard and go to http://your.servername.com/tine20 in your preferred web browser. You'll see the Tine login screen. Enter your username and password to log in to the Tine dashboard.
