Clear Linux is a Linux distribution optimized for performance and security. In this tutorial, we'll explain how to install Tracim on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before installing Tracim, you need to install the following packages:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic mysql php-mysqli nginx

Step 2: Download and Extract Tracim

Next, download the latest release of Tracim from the official website using the following command:

sudo curl -L https://github.com/tracim/tracim/releases/download/3.3.1/tracim-3.3.1-full.tar.gz -o tracim.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded archive to the desired installation directory:

sudo tar xf tracim.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Step 3: Configure MySQL

Create a new database and user for Tracim using the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and run the following commands to create the database and user:

CREATE DATABASE tracim;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tracim.* TO tracimuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace password with a strong password for the Tracim user.

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Create a new server block for Tracim in Nginx by creating a new configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/tracim

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name tracim.example.com; # Replace with your server FQDN
    root /var/www/tracim;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
    }
}

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Enable the new server block by creating a symbolic link to the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tracim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Restart Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 5: Configure Tracim

Copy the default configuration file and edit it:

sudo cp /var/www/tracim/app/var/conf/tracim.yml.example /var/www/tracim/app/var/conf/tracim.yml
sudo nano /var/www/tracim/app/var/conf/tracim.yml

Edit the database section and replace the default values with your MySQL database details:

database:
    driver: pdo_mysql
    host: localhost
    port: null
    dbname: tracim
    user: tracimuser
    password: password

Replace password with the password you set in Step 3.

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 6: Install Tracim Dependencies

Install the required PHP dependencies using the following command:

sudo /usr/bin/php /var/www/tracim/app/bin/composer.phar install

Step 7: Start Tracim

Start the Tracim background worker using the following command:

sudo /var/www/tracim/app/bin/console --env=prod tracim:worker

Open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://server-ip/ (replace server-ip with your server IP address or domain name). You should see the Tracim login page.
