Phorge is a project management software that allows you to track projects, collaborate on tasks, and manage workflows in one place. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Phorge on Fedora CoreOS latest version.
Before installing Phorge, you need the following:
First, we need to install Git so that we can clone the Phorge repository. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git
Next, we need to clone the Phorge repository using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/phacility/phabricator.git /var/www/phorge
Phorge requires some dependencies that are not installed by default in Fedora CoreOS. Run the following commands to install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y php php-mysqli php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-redis
sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb-server
sudo dnf install -y npm
sudo npm install -g less
Phorge requires a virtual host configuration in Apache. Run the following commands to create a new virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phorge.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phorge.example.com
ServerAlias phorge.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/phorge/webroot
<Directory /var/www/phorge/webroot>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
Require all granted
</Directory>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/rsrc/(.*) /index.php?__path__=rsrc/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico /index.php?__path__=favicon.ico [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /index.php?__path__=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X and then Y.
Phorge requires a MySQL database to store its data. Run the following commands to create a new database and user:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE phorge;
CREATE USER 'phorge'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phorge.* to 'phorge'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace password with your own password for the Phorge user.
Phorge requires a configuration file to work properly. Run the following commands to create a new configuration file and edit it:
sudo cp /var/www/phorge/conf/local/local.json.sample /var/www/phorge/conf/local/local.json
sudo nano /var/www/phorge/conf/local/local.json
Edit the configuration file to include the following settings:
{
"mysql.host": "localhost",
"mysql.user": "phorge",
"mysql.pass": "password",
"mysql.port": "3306",
"mysql.protocol": "TCP",
"storage.local-disk.path":"/var/tmp/phorge"
}
Replace password with your own password for the Phorge user.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X and then Y.
Phorge requires write permissions to some directories. Run the following commands to change the ownership and permissions:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/phorge /var/tmp/phorge
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/phorge
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/tmp/phorge
We are now ready to start Apache and MariaDB. Run the following commands to start the services:
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
sudo systemctl start httpd mariadb
Open your web browser and navigate to http://phorge.example.com. Replace phorge.example.com with your own server's domain name or IP address.
You will be asked to set up an administrator account. Follow the instructions to complete the setup process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Phorge on Fedora CoreOS latest version. You can now start using Phorge to manage your projects and tasks.
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!
