Zusam is an open source web application that allows users to manage events, tasks, and projects. It is developed using Ruby on Rails and can be installed on Debian Linux. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing Zusam on Debian Latest.
Before starting the installation process, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
First, you need to clone the Zusam repository to your machine using the Git command:
git clone https://github.com/zusam/zusam.git
This will create a new directory called zusam in your current working directory.
Next, you need to install the necessary dependencies required to run Zusam. To do this, navigate into the zusam directory and run the following commands:
cd zusam
bundle install
This will install all the required gems and libraries for Zusam.
Zusam uses PostgreSQL as its database. You need to create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Zusam. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo -u postgres createuser --interactive
sudo -u postgres createdb zusam_development
This will create a new user and database named 'zusam_development'. You can replace 'zusam_development' with your preferred name.
Next, open the config/database.yml file with your favorite text editor and modify the username and password to match the ones you just created in the previous step:
development:
<<: *default
database: zusam_development
username: YOUR_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME
password: YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD
Now that the database is configured, you need to run the following command to create the database tables:
rails db:migrate
This will create the necessary tables in your PostgreSQL database.
Finally, you can start the Zusam application by running the following command:
rails server
This will start the Rails development server on port 3000. Open your browser and go to 'http://localhost:3000' to access the application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zusam on Debian Latest. You can now customize and use Zusam according to your needs.
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!
