Phorge is a web-based project management tool that is designed to help teams collaborate, track project progress and simplify task management. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Phorge on Debian.
Before you start with the installation process, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Once you have fulfilled all the prerequisites mentioned above, you can proceed with the following steps to install Phorge on Debian:
First, you need to clone the Phorge repository from Github. Run the following command to do so:
$ git clone https://github.com/phacility/phabricator.git /var/www/phorge
This command will download the Phorge repository in the /var/www/phorge directory.
Next, you need to install the dependencies required to run Phorge. To do so, run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install -y php-gd php-curl php-mbstring
Now, you need to configure Apache to display Phorge. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file using the following command:
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phorge.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/phorge/webroot
ServerName phorge.example.com
<Directory /var/www/phorge/webroot>
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phorge_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phorge_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Enable the new virtual host configuration file using the following command:
$ sudo a2ensite phorge.conf
Now, restart Apache to apply the changes:
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, you need to configure Phorge. To do so, navigate to the /var/www/phorge directory and create a configuration file using the following command:
$ cd /var/www/phorge
$ ./bin/config set mysql.host localhost
$ ./bin/config set mysql.port 3306
$ ./bin/config set mysql.user root
$ ./bin/config set mysql.pass your_password_here
$ ./bin/config set phabricator.base-uri 'http://phorge.example.com/'
$ ./bin/config set security.alternate-file-domain 'phorge.example.com'
Make sure to replace 'your_password_here' with your actual MySQL root password.
Now, you need to create a MySQL database for Phorge. Run the following command to do so:
$ mysql -u root -p
This command will prompt you to enter your MySQL root password. Once you have entered your password, run the following commands to create a new MySQL database and grant privileges to the Phorge user:
> create database phorge;
> grant all privileges on phorge.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'your_password_here';
> flush privileges;
> exit;
Finally, you need to initialize Phorge. To do so, run the following command:
./bin/storage upgrade --force
This command will initialize Phorge.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Phorge on Debian. You can now access your Phorge installation by navigating to http://phorge.example.com/ in your web browser. Happy managing your projects!
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!
