QloApps is a free and open-source hotel management software that allows hotels to manage their operations easily. Clear Linux is an open-source operating system designed to be a lightweight and optimized operating system for developers. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing QloApps on Clear Linux Latest.
Before starting this tutorial, you should have:
Before installing any new packages, it is best practice to have your system up-to-date. Run the following command as sudo or root user to update the package lists and upgrade any outdated packages:
sudo swupd update
QloApps requires a web server, PHP, and a database manager to run. We will be using Apache, PHP, and MariaDB to install and run QloApps.
Run the following command to install Apache, PHP, and MariaDB:
sudo swupd bundle-add httpd php mysql
SystemD is a system and service manager that starts services during boot time. Enable and start Apache and MariaDB services by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
Download QloApps from the official website by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/Qloapps/QloApps/releases/download/2.9.0/QloApps-v2.9.0.zip
Extract the downloaded file to the web root directory using the following command:
sudo unzip QloApps-v2.9.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
QloApps requires a database to store its data. Connect to the MariaDB shell by running the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Once you are connected to the MariaDB shell, create a new database, and a user account for QloApps using the following SQL commands:
CREATE DATABASE qloappsdb;
CREATE USER 'qloappsuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strongpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON qloappsdb.* TO 'qloappsuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace strongpassword with a secure password of your choice.
In your web browser, visit http://Your-Server-IP/QloApps-v2.9.0 to start the installation process. Follow the installation wizard, and enter the database details (database name, username, and password) created in step 5. Leave the database host set to "localhost".
After submitting the database details, complete the remaining steps and configure the basic settings. Once the installation is done, you can log in to the QloApps admin portal by visiting http://Your-Server-IP/QloApps-v2.9.0/admin.
You have successfully installed QloApps on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use QloApps to manage your hotel's operations easily. If you face any issues during the installation process, please consult the QloApps documentation.
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!
