Dolibarr is a free and open-source software for managing your business processes and data. It is easy to use, flexible and customizable. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dolibarr on Fedora Server Latest.
It is always recommended to update the system with the latest packages and security patches before installing any new software. Run the following commands to update the system.
sudo dnf update
Dolibarr is a web-based application and requires an Apache web server and PHP to run. Run the following command to install the Apache web server and PHP.
sudo dnf install httpd php php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-gd php-zip php-intl php-xmlrpc mariadb mariadb-server
Dolibarr requires a database to store its data. In this step, we will configure and secure the MariaDB database. Run the following command to start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time.
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Run the following command to secure the MariaDB installation.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Dolibarr can be installed either by downloading the source code or using the package manager. In this tutorial, we will use the package manager to install Dolibarr.
Run the following command to install Dolibarr.
sudo dnf install dolibarr
Now, it’s time to configure Dolibarr to connect with the database. Edit the Dolibarr configuration file located at /etc/dolibarr/conf.php and modify the following parameters with your database details.
$conf->dbhost='localhost'; // Database hostname
$conf->dbtype='mariadb'; // Database type
$conf->dbuser='dolibarr'; // Database username
$conf->dbpassword='password'; // Database password
$conf->dbname='dolibarr'; // Database name
Save and exit the file.
Create a virtual host configuration file for Dolibarr in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory. Run the following command to create a new virtual host configuration file named dolibarr.conf.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/dolibarr.conf
Add the following lines to the file and save it.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/dolibarr
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/dolibarr>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dolibarr_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dolibarr_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Run the following command to restart the Apache web server.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL http://your-server-ip/dolibarr/ or http://your-domain-name/dolibarr/. You will see the Dolibarr installation wizard.
Follow the wizard instructions to complete the installation process. Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to create an administrator user account. After creating the administrator account successfully, you can login to Dolibarr with your administrator credentials.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dolibarr on your Fedora Server 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!
