Galette is a free, open-source membership management software that helps you manage your organization's membership information. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Galette on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before starting with the installation process, you should have the following:
The first step is to update the system to the latest packages. You can do this with the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Galette requires some additional packages to be installed on the system. Use the following command to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install -y git nginx php php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-mbstring unzip
Next, you need to clone the Galette repository from GitHub. Use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/galette/galette.git /var/www/html/galette
Galette requires a web server to serve its pages. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx as a web server. Create a new Nginx configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/galette.conf
Add the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/html/galette/public;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain name.
Save and close the file.
Start the Nginx and PHP-FPM services with the following command:
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx php-fpm
Galette requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB as a database.
Use the following command to install MariaDB:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server -y
Start and enable the MariaDB service with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb
After starting the service, secure the MariaDB installation with the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts and set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, remove test database, and reload the privilege tables.
Next, you need to create a new database and user for Galette. Use the following commands to create a new database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE galette;
CREATE USER 'galetteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON galette.* TO 'galetteuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace your_password with your own password.
Navigate to the Galette directory with the following command:
cd /var/www/html/galette
Run the following command to install Galette:
sudo ./bin/install-galette.sh
Follow the prompts and provide the database hostname, username, password, and database name.
To allow Nginx to access the Galette files, you need to change the ownership of the /var/www/html/galette directory to the nginx user with the following command:
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/html/galette
Finally, you need to configure SELinux to allow Galette to access the database. Use the following command to set the correct SELinux context:
sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/galette/conf/local.inc.php
You can now access Galette by navigating to your domain name in a web browser. The login page should be shown. Use the default username admin and password admin to log in. You should change the password after logging in.
