MantisBT is a free and open-source web-based bug tracking system that allows software developers to track and manage software issues in an efficient and effective manner. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install MantisBT on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you get started, you will need the following:
The first step is to install and enable Apache and PHP on your machine. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-mysqli php-mbstring php-xml php-gd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
This will install Apache and PHP on your machine, and start and enable the Apache service.
Next, you need to install and configure MariaDB as the database server for MantisBT. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo dnf install mariadb-server
Once MariaDB is installed, run the following commands to start and enable it:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Next, you need to create a new database and user for MantisBT. Run the following commands to do this:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE mantisbt CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'mantisuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mantisbt.* TO 'mantisuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Make sure to replace "password" with a strong password of your choice.
To download and install MantisBT, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo dnf install wget
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mantisbt/mantis-stable/2.24.1/mantisbt-2.24.1.zip
sudo unzip mantisbt-2.24.1.zip
sudo mv mantisbt-2.24.1 mantisbt
sudo chown -R apache:apache mantisbt/
This will download and install the latest version of MantisBT in the /var/www/html directory.
Next, you need to configure MantisBT to use the database and user you created earlier. To do this, navigate to the /var/www/html/mantisbt directory and edit the config_inc.php file:
cd /var/www/html/mantisbt
sudo nano config_inc.php
Find the following lines:
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
$g_database_name = 'bugtracker';
$g_db_username = 'root';
$g_db_password = '';
Update them with the following:
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
$g_database_name = 'mantisbt';
$g_db_username = 'mantisuser';
$g_db_password = 'password';
Save and close the file.
Finally, you need to configure Apache to serve MantisBT. To do this, create a new virtual host file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/mantisbt.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mantisbt
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mantisbt_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mantisbt_access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/mantisbt>
AllowOverride All
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace "your-domain.com" with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
MantisBT is now installed and configured on your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to:
http://your-domain.com
You should now see the MantisBT login screen. Log in with the default admin username and password:
Username: administrator
Password: root
Congratulations! You've successfully installed and configured MantisBT on Fedora CoreOS 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!
