In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of FoodCoopShop on Fedora Server. FoodCoopShop is a free software platform designed to help food coops manage their tasks efficiently. It includes features such as inventory management, member management, and ordering processing.
Before we begin the installation process, we will make sure that the required packages are installed on the machine. Run the following command to update the package list:
sudo dnf update
Next, install the following packages:
sudo dnf install git curl zip unzip screen nano nginx php php-fpm php-gd php-dom php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-mbstring php-xml php-json
We will now clone the FoodCoopShop Git repository into the web directory. Navigate to the /var/www/ directory by running:
cd /var/www/
Clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/foodcoopshop/foodcoopshop.git
We will now configure Nginx to host FoodCoopShop. Edit the default Nginx configuration file by running:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the following block of code inside the http{} block:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain_or_ip_address;
root /var/www/foodcoopshop;
index index.php index.html;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Note that you will need to change your_domain_or_ip_address with your server's domain name or IP address.
After you have made the changes, save the file and exit.
We will now configure PHP-FPM to serve our FoodCoopShop installation. Open the following file with your text editor:
sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
Make the following changes:
listen = /run/php-fpm/www.sock
Uncomment listen.mode and set it to 0660:
listen.mode = 0660
Uncomment the following lines:
env[HOSTNAME] = $HOSTNAME
env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
env[TMP] = /tmp
env[TMPDIR] = /tmp
env[TEMP] = /tmp
Save the file and exit.
FoodCoopShop uses MySQL/MariaDB database as its backend. We will now create a new database for our installation. Run the following command to access the MySQL shell:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted.
Create a new database and a new user by running the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE foodcoopshop;
CREATE USER 'foodcoopshopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_database_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON foodcoopshop.* TO 'foodcoopshopuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Note that you will need to replace your_database_password with a strong password of your choice.
We will now install FoodCoopShop by navigating to your application folder and running composer install:
cd /var/www/foodcoopshop
sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
sudo composer install
During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter your database details. Enter the following:
foodcoopshopfoodcoopshopuseryour_database_passwordAfter you have entered your database details, the installation process will complete.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain_or_ip_address/.
You will be prompted to run the setup wizard. Follow the instructions and enter the required details. After you have completed the setup wizard, you will be redirected to the FoodCoopShop administration dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FoodCoopShop on 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!
