In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to install OpenProject on Clear Linux Latest. OpenProject is an open-source project management software that allows you to manage projects, tasks, and teams. Clear Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution that is optimized for Intel-based systems.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before we start installing OpenProject, let's update the operating system:
sudo clr-update
Then, reboot the system:
sudo reboot
OpenProject requires PostgreSQL as the backend database. So, let's install PostgreSQL:
sudo swupd bundle-add postgresql
After installing, enable and start the PostgreSQL service:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
OpenProject requires Ruby and Bundler. So, let's install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
sudo gem install bundler
Now, we are ready to install OpenProject. Let's first add the OpenProject repository:
sudo rpm --import https://dl.packager.io/srv/openproject/openproject/key
sudo swupd bundle-add ca-certificates
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb https://dl.packager.io/srv/openproject/ce/clearlinux/version/10.x/latest stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list"
Then, update the repository and install OpenProject:
sudo swupd bundle-add apt-transport-https
sudo swupd bundle-add software-defined-cockpit
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add openproject
After the installation, the OpenProject configuration file needs to be modified to connect to PostgreSQL.
Open the configuration file /etc/openproject/database.yml with an editor:
sudo nano /etc/openproject/database.yml
In the file, add the following lines under production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: openproject
username: openproject
password: <your_password_here>
host: localhost
Replace <your_password_here> with the desired password.
Save and close the file.
We are almost there. Now, initialize OpenProject:
sudo openproject configure
During the configurations, enter your email address, the password for the administration account, and confirm the PostgreSQL information.
Now, start the OpenProject service:
sudo systemctl enable openproject
sudo systemctl start openproject
Finally, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see the OpenProject login page.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install OpenProject on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use OpenProject to manage your projects, tasks, and teams.
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!
