How to install LinkAce on EndeavourOS Latest

LinkAce is a self-hosted bookmark manager with advanced features such as tags, automatic title fetching, and more. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing LinkAce on a fresh installation of EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, you will need the following:

• A fresh installation of EndeavourOS Latest (with sudo privileges)
• A domain name or IP address to use for your LinkAce instance (e.g. linkace.example.com or 192.168.1.10)

Step 1: Install dependencies

First, let's update the system and install the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S nginx mariadb php php-fpm composer npm

Then, enable and start the required services:

sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
sudo systemctl start php-fpm

Step 2: Configure the database

Log in to the MariaDB console:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database and user for LinkAce:

CREATE DATABASE linkace;
CREATE USER 'linkace'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linkace.* TO 'linkace'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace yourpassword with a strong password.

Exit the console:

exit

Step 3: Download and install LinkAce

Navigate to your web root directory:

cd /usr/share/nginx/html

Download the latest version of LinkAce:

sudo su - nginx
git clone https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce.git

Then, navigate to the LinkAce directory and run the installation command:

cd LinkAce
composer install --no-dev
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
npm install
npm run production

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Create a new Nginx server block for LinkAce:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/linkace.conf

Add the following content, replacing linkace.example.com or 192.168.1.10 with your domain or IP address:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name linkace.example.com; # replace with your domain or IP address
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/LinkAce/public;

    index index.php;

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

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

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Save and exit the file.

Test the Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors, reload Nginx:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

Step 5: Access LinkAce

Open your web browser and navigate to http://linkace.example.com or http://192.168.1.10.

Follow the setup wizard to complete the installation of LinkAce.
