Phorge is a web-based project management and collaboration tool that is used by developers and project managers around the world. It is built on top of the world's most popular PHP web framework, Symfony, and uses a powerful database system to store and retrieve project data. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Phorge on an EndeavourOS Latest server.
Before you begin, you will need:
Phorge uses some PHP extensions that may not be installed on your system. Run the following commands to install the required PHP extensions.
sudo pacman -S php-apcu php-cgi php-gd php-imagick php-intl php-mbstring php-pear php-pgsql
Phorge uses a PostgreSQL database to store project data. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL.
sudo pacman -S postgresql
After installation, start the PostgreSQL server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Phorge by running the following commands. Replace phorge with a name of your choice.
sudo -u postgres createdb phorge
sudo -u postgres createuser -P phorge
When prompted, enter a password for the new user.
Download Phorge from the official website by running the following command:
wget https://we.phorge.it/dl/phorge.tar.gz
Extract the archive to your web server's document root directory.
sudo tar xvzf phorge.tar.gz -C /var/www/
Rename the extracted directory to phorge.
sudo mv /var/www/phorge-master /var/www/phorge
Change the ownership of the phorge directory to the web server user.
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/phorge
Create a new configuration file for Phorge.
sudo cp /var/www/phorge/scripts/phorge.conf.sample /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phorge.conf
Modify the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phorge.conf file to set the database credentials. Replace the following placeholders with the credentials you created in Step 3.
# PostgreSQL database credentials
phorge_db_dsn=pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=phorge
phorge_db_user=phorge
phorge_db_pass=password
Enable the required modules.
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/rewrite.load /etc/httpd/conf/extra/
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/dav.load /etc/httpd/conf/extra/
Edit the main Apache configuration file and include the Phorge configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following line at the end of the file:
Include conf/extra/phorge.conf
Save the file and restart Apache for the changes to take effect.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to http://SERVER_IP/phorge. You should see the Phorge login page.
Enter the database credentials you created in Step 3 to log in to Phorge.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Phorge on your EndeavourOS Latest server. You can now use Phorge to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.
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!
