How to Install Juntagrico on Elementary OS

juntagrico.org/">Juntagrico is a free and open-source platform for managing your CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or food co-op. It allows members to subscribe to a farm or garden, and then receive a share of the harvest at regular intervals. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Juntagrico on Elementary OS, which is a Linux-based operating system designed for the desktop.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, you need to install some required packages on your Elementary OS system. Open the terminal from the applications menu, and run the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl git unzip gnupg

Step 2: Install Docker

Juntagrico uses Docker to run its application, so you need to install Docker on your system. Run the following command to install Docker:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

This will download and install the latest version of Docker on your system.

Once the installation completes, you need to add your user to the docker group to avoid running Docker commands with sudo:

sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

Step 3: Download Juntagrico

Now, you need to download Juntagrico from its official repository on GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/juntagrico/juntagrico.git

This will create a directory juntagrico with all the necessary files.

Step 4: Configure Juntagrico

In this step, you need to configure Juntagrico by setting some environment variables. Run the following command to create a copy of the default configuration file:

cp juntagrico/.env-dist juntagrico/.env

Then, open the .env file using your favorite text editor:

nano juntagrico/.env

Update the following variables:

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Run Juntagrico

Finally, you can run Juntagrico using Docker Compose. Run the following command inside the juntagrico directory:

docker-compose up -d

This will start Juntagrico in the background.

To access Juntagrico, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000.
