How to Install StockazNG on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install StockazNG on Clear Linux Latest. StockazNG is a web-based inventory management system designed for small to medium-sized businesses.

Prerequisites

• A Clear Linux Latest installation
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, we need to install some required packages. In a terminal window, run the following command to update the package index:

sudo swupd update

Next, install the git, nano, curl, and docker-compose packages:

sudo swupd bundle-add git nano curl docker-compose

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Now that our system is up-to-date and we've installed the necessary packages, we can clone the StockazNG repository using Git:

git clone https://dev.sigpipe.me/dashie/StockazNG.git

This will create a new directory called StockazNG in the current working directory.

Step 3: Configure Database Settings

StockazNG uses a PostgreSQL database to store inventory information. We need to configure the database settings before we can start using StockazNG.

Navigate to the StockazNG directory:

cd StockazNG

Open the docker-compose.yml file in your favorite text editor. We'll use Nano:

nano docker-compose.yml

Scroll down to the db service and change the POSTGRES_USER and POSTGRES_PASSWORD environment variables to values of your choice:

db:
  image: postgres:alpine
  restart: always
  environment:
    POSTGRES_USER: your_postgres_user
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: your_postgres_password
    POSTGRES_DB: stockaz
  volumes:
    - ./db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Initialize the Database

Now we can initialize the PostgreSQL database:

docker-compose up -d db

This will start the db service in the background. Once the service is running, we can create the necessary database tables:

docker-compose run --rm stockaz php artisan migrate --seed

Step 5: Start the Web Server

Finally, we can start the web server:

docker-compose up -d web

This will start the web service in the background. Once the service is running, you can access StockazNG by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we've installed StockazNG on Clear Linux Latest. Now you can start using StockazNG to manage your inventory. Happy inventorying!
