Trudesk is an open-source helpdesk application designed to simplify communication and enhance customer support. It is built using Node.js, MongoDB, and React. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install Trudesk on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install MongoDB on your EndeavourOS Latest machine. Run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mongodb
Once the installation is complete, enable the MongoDB service by running:
sudo systemctl enable --now mongodb
You can also check the status of the MongoDB service by running:
sudo systemctl status mongodb
Next, you need to download the latest version of Trudesk from their official website by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/polonel/trudesk/archive/v1.0.8.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the command:
tar -xzf v1.0.8.tar.gz
The extracted files will be put in a trudesk-1.0.8 directory.
Now, change your current directory to the extracted trudesk-1.0.8 directory and install the necessary NPM dependencies by running:
cd trudesk-1.0.8
npm install
Trudesk requires some environment variables to be set before it can be run. You can configure these variables using a .env file. Trudesk provides a sample .env file that you can modify for your specific settings. Run the following command to create a copy of the sample .env file:
cp .env.sample .env
Now, edit the .env file and add your own configuration settings, such as your MongoDB connection URL and a secret key for authentication sessions.
Once you have configured the .env file, you can start the Trudesk server by running the following command:
npm start
By default, the server will listen on port 8118.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip:8118/. You should now see the Trudesk login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Trudesk on your EndeavourOS Latest machine. You can now use Trudesk to manage your helpdesk and provide excellent customer support.
