Juntagrico is a free and open-source Farm Management Software (FMS) designed for managing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms. It is built with Python and Django framework and can be deployed on various operating systems, including Clear Linux.
In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Juntagrico on the latest version of Clear Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have a Clear Linux server up and running with the following:
To start, log in to your Clear Linux server via SSH and run the following command to update the system:
sudo swupd update
Juntagrico requires several dependencies to run successfully. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic python3-dev python3-basic-dev python3-pip mariadb mariadb-dev mariadb-client jemalloc-devel ncurses-devel readline-devel
It is essential always to run Juntagrico with a non-root user for security reasons. In this step, we will create a new user that will be used to run Juntagrico.
sudo useradd -m juntagrico
Next, set a password for the new user:
sudo passwd juntagrico
Juntagrico requires a database to store data, and in this tutorial, we will use MariaDB, which is an open-source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Follow the steps below to install and configure MariaDB:
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
During the installation, you will be prompted to set a root password, disable remote root login, remove anonymous users, and remove the test database. For simplicity, you can answer yes to all the questions.
First login to MySQL with the command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password you set earlier when prompted, and then create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE juntagrico;
CREATE USER 'juntagrico'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON juntagrico.* TO 'juntagrico'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Remember to replace your_password with a strong and secure password.
Now that all the dependencies and configurations are in place, let's proceed to install Juntagrico. We will install it in the juntagrico user's home directory.
sudo su juntagrico
pip3 install juntagrico
juntagrico init
This command will create a configuration file called juntagrico.cfg in the current directory. Open the file with your favorite text editor and change the settings according to your needs.
nano juntagrico.cfg
To run Juntagrico, use the following command:
juntagrico runserver
You should see output that looks like:
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Juntagrico is now up and running on your Clear Linux server. Access it by opening your web browser and pointing it to http://your_server_IP:8000/. If you are running Juntagrico on a local server, use http://localhost:8000/.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Juntagrico on the latest version of Clear Linux. With this installation, you can now manage your community-supported agriculture farm with ease.
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!
