How to install OpenOlitor on EndeavourOS Latest

OpenOlitor is an open-source farm management software that allows farmers to manage their farms efficiently. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to install OpenOlitor on EndeavourOS Latest.

Step 1: Install required dependencies

Open a terminal on your EndeavourOS system and use the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm nginx mariadb git

Step 2: Install Composer

Next, we need to install Composer, which is a dependency manager for PHP. To install Composer, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S composer

Step 3: Clone the OpenOlitor repository

Clone the OpenOlitor repository using the following command:

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

Step 4: Install the required PHP packages

Navigate to the OpenOlitor directory and run the following command to install the required PHP packages:

cd OpenOlitor && composer install

Step 5: Configure the database

We need to create a database for OpenOlitor in MariaDB. To do this, open the MariaDB command-line client with the following command:

sudo mysql

Create a new database with the following command:

CREATE DATABASE openolitor;

Create a new user and grant privileges to the new database with the following commands:

CREATE USER 'openolitor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openolitor.* TO 'openolitor'@'localhost';

Replace password with a strong password for the new user.

Exit the MariaDB command-line client with the following command:

exit

Step 6: Configure NGINX

Create a new NGINX configuration file for OpenOlitor with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/openolitor

Paste the following content into the file and save it:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain.com;
    root /path/to/OpenOlitor/web;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        # try to serve file directly, fallback to index.php
        try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }

    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Make sure to replace your-domain.com with your domain name and /path/to/OpenOlitor/web with the path to the OpenOlitor directory.

Create a symbolic link to enable the new configuration with the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/openolitor /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/openolitor

Reload NGINX to apply the changes with the following command:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

Step 7: Configure OpenOlitor

Copy the .env.example file and create a new .env file with the following command:

cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file with a text editor:

nano .env

Update the following lines with your database credentials:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=openolitor
DB_USER=openolitor
DB_PASS=password

Replace password with the strong password you set for the database user.

Step 8: Install OpenOlitor

Finally, we can run the migration command to install OpenOlitor:

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

After successful migration, run the following command to start PHP-FPM:

sudo systemctl start php-fpm

You should now be able to access OpenOlitor by visiting your domain name in a web browser. If you haven't already done so, you may need to set up DNS records and/or configure your firewall to allow incoming traffic.

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!
