Group Office is a productivity suite that includes email, calendars, file management, and more. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Group Office from their website on Clear Linux Latest.
Group Office requires Apache and PHP to be installed on your server. Follow these commands to install Apache and PHP on Clear Linux Latest:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add apache
Once installed, start and enable Apache to run automatically at boot using these commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Head to the Group Office website and click on the "Download" button at the top of the page.
Choose the "Community Edition" version to proceed to the download page.
On the download page, select the option "Download TAR.GZ version X.X.X" where X.X.X is the latest version number.
Once downloaded, extract the contents of the archive to /var/www/html/groupoffice using the command:
sudo tar -xzf groupoffice-*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Group Office stores its data in a MySQL or MariaDB database.
If you don't already have MySQL or MariaDB installed, run the following command to install MariaDB:
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
Next, create a new database for Group Office to use:
mysql -uroot -p
MariaDB [(none)]> create database groupoffice;
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on groupoffice.* to 'groupoffice'@'localhost' identified by '<password>';
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
Be sure to replace <password> with a strong password of your choosing.
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for Group Office using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/groupoffice.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/groupoffice"
ServerName your-server-name
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/groupoffice-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/groupoffice-access_log" combined
<Directory "/var/www/html/groupoffice">

php_value post_max_size 100MB
php_value max_input_time -1
php_value max_execution_time 0
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
Be sure to replace "your-server-name" with your server's hostname or IP address.
Save the file and exit your text editor.
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-name/groupoffice to access the Group Office installer.
The installer will guide you through the steps to configure Group Office, including database connection details and administrator account creation.

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
