PropertyWebBuilder is an open-source software that enables users to create a real estate website or application with ease. The installation process for PropertyWebBuilder on EndeavourOS is relatively simple and straightforward. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install PropertyWebBuilder on EndeavourOS.
Before we get started, please ensure that you have the following:
The first thing you should do is update your server by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all packages to the latest version.
To install PropertyWebBuilder, you will need to have some additional packages installed. You can install them using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git php php-gd php-curl php-mbstring mariadb nginx
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP packages. We need to install Composer to install the PropertyWebBuilder dependencies. You can download and install Composer using the following commands:
cd ~
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Verify that Composer is installed by typing:
composer
Now that the prerequisites are installed and configured, we can download and install PropertyWebBuilder. Follow the steps below to do so:
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/openrealty/openrealty.git
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/nginx/html/openrealty/
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/openrealty/
sudo composer install
Before we can start using PropertyWebBuilder, we need to configure the database. Run the following command to log in to MariaDB as root:
sudo mariadb -u root
Once you're logged in, create a new database for PropertyWebBuilder:
CREATE DATABASE openrealty;
Create a new database user with full access to the new database.
CREATE USER 'openrealtyuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openrealty.* TO 'openrealtyuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Once you're done, exit MariaDB.
exit
You need to configure Nginx to serve PropertyWebBuilder. Let's create a new virtual host configuration file for PropertyWebBuilder.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/openrealty
Paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name your_domain.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/openrealty;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Enable the virtual host by creating a symbolic link from the sites-available directory to the sites-enabled directory.
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/openrealty /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Test the Nginx configuration for syntax errors.
sudo nginx -t
If there are no syntax errors, reload the Nginx service to implement the new configuration.
sudo systemctl reload nginx
PropertyWebBuilder is now ready to be configured. Visit the following URL in your web browser:
http://your_domain.com/
Follow the prompts to complete the PropertyWebBuilder installation process. When prompted for the database configuration details, provide the following information:
Once the installation process is complete, you will be taken to the PropertyWebBuilder login page. You can log in using the credentials you provided during the installation process.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed PropertyWebBuilder on EndeavourOS.
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!
