Organizr is an open-source tool that provides an easy-to-use interface for managing your server applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Organizr on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Before installing any application, it is always recommended to update your FreeBSD system to the latest version. To update FreeBSD, run the following command:
freebsd-update fetch install
Next, you need to install curl, git, and unzip packages on your system. You can easily install them using the following command:
pkg install -y curl git unzip
Now, you can download Organizr using git. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/causefx/Organizr /usr/local/www/organizr
Organizr requires PHP and several PHP extensions to run correctly. You can install PHP and the required PHP extensions using the following command:
pkg install -y php74 php74-extensions php74-curl php74-dom php74-json php74-mbstring php74-openssl php74-pdo php74-pdo_mysql php74-sqlite3 php74-zip
Once you have installed all the required packages, you need to configure Organizr. To do this, navigate to the Organizr directory using the following command:
cd /usr/local/www/organizr
Next, rename the sample configuration file to "config.php" using the following command:
mv sample-config.php config.php
Now, you can edit the configuration file using your favorite text editor:
vi config.php
You should update the following parameters in the configuration file:
define('ORGANIZR_INSTALL_PATH', '/organizr'); // Update the install path according to your setup
define('MYSQL_HOST', 'localhost'); // Update the MySQL host if you are using a remote MySQL server
define('MYSQL_PORT', '3306'); // Update the MySQL port if necessary
define('MYSQL_USER', 'organizr'); // Update the MySQL user
define('MYSQL_PASS', 'password'); // Update the MySQL password
define('MYSQL_DB', 'organizr'); // Update the MySQL database name
Save and close the file.
You may need to configure PHP to work correctly with Organizr. To do this, open the "php.ini" file:
vi /usr/local/etc/php.ini
Next, find and uncomment the following lines in the "php.ini" file:
extension=curl
extension=mysqli
extension=pdo_mysql
Save and close the file.
Finally, you can start Organizr using the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/php-fpm -R && nginx -g 'daemon off;'
You can now access Organizr by visiting your server's IP address on port 80.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Organizr on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Organizr to manage your server applications easily.
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!
