Open Event Server is an event management system that allows you to create and manage events. It is an open-source project developed by FOSSASIA. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of the Open Event Server on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Git, which we will use to clone the Open Event Server repository from GitHub.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Next, we will clone the Open Event Server repository using Git.
To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-server.git
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the project's directory by running:
cd open-event-server
Open Event Server is built on top of Node.js, so we need to install it first.
To install Node.js and npm, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Open Event Server uses PostgreSQL as its database management system. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
Once Postgres is installed, start the PostgreSQL server by running:
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
Then, enable the PostgreSQL server to start at boot time using:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
Before we run the Open Event Server application, we need to create a new database and user for the application.
To create a new database, run the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb <database-name>
Replace <database-name> with your desired name for the database.
Next, create a new user with the following command:
sudo -u postgres createuser -s <username>
Replace <username> with your desired name for the database user.
Once the user is created, update the password using:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER <username> WITH PASSWORD '<password>';"
Replace <username> with the name of the user that you just created, and <password> with your desired password.
Next, we will install the dependencies required to run Open Event Server.
To install the dependencies, run the following command:
npm install -g yarn
yarn
Edit the config/config.js file and set the correct values for your PostgreSQL database and user.
module.exports = {
database: '<database-name>',
username: '<username>',
password: '<password>',
dialect: 'postgres',
host: 'localhost'
};
Replace <database-name>, <username>, and <password> with the values you entered in step 5.
Finally, we can start the Open Event Server application with the following command:
yarn start
Once the server has started, you can access the application by navigating to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Open Event Server on EndeavourOS Latest.
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!
