How to Install OhMyForms on EndeavourOS Latest

OhMyForms is a web-based service that allows you to create and manage forms with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OhMyForms on EndeavourOS Latest using Docker.

Prerequisites

• A VPS or dedicated server running EndeavourOS Latest.
• Root access or a sudo user account.
• Docker and docker-compose installed on your system.

Step 1 - Install Docker

Before you can install OhMyForms, you need to install Docker on your server. Here's how to do it:

1. Run the following command to update your package list:

   sudo pacman -Syu
   

2. Install Docker using the following command:

   sudo pacman -S docker
   

3. Start the Docker service and enable it to start on boot:

   sudo systemctl start docker
   sudo systemctl enable docker
   

4. Check the version of Docker to make sure it has been installed successfully:

   docker --version
   

Step 2 - Install docker-compose

After installing Docker, you need to install docker-compose to manage multiple containers. Here's how to do it:

1. Run the following command to download the current version of docker-compose:

   sudo pacman -S docker-compose
   

2. Check the version of docker-compose to make sure it has been installed successfully:

   docker-compose --version
   

Step 3 - Install OhMyForms

Now we are ready to download and install OhMyForms on our EndeavourOS Latest system:

1. Create a new directory where the OhMyForms files will be stored:

   sudo mkdir /opt/ohmyforms
   

2. Cd into the OhMyForms directory:

   cd /opt/ohmyforms
   

3. Download the latest version of OhMyForms using the following command:

   sudo curl -L https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/archive/refs/tags/latest.tar.gz | sudo tar -xz --strip=1
   

4. Create a .env file in the OhMyForms directory to set environment variables:

   sudo nano .env
   

   Set the following environment variables in the .env file:

   APP_ENV=production
   APP_URL=http://localhost:4000
   DB_DATABASE=ohmyforms
   DB_USERNAME=ohmyforms
   DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
   JWT_SECRET=yourjwtsecret
   

   Replace yourpassword and yourjwtsecret with your own values.

5. Start the OhMyForms container using the following command:

   sudo docker-compose up -d
   

6. Verify that the container is running using the following command:

   sudo docker ps
   

   You should see an output similar to the following:

   CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                    COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                  PORTS                              NAMES
