Olaris is a self-hosted project management platform that helps you manage your projects, tasks, and team communication in one place. It is an open-source software that can be installed on your local server or on a cloud hosting service. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Olaris on MXLinux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, there are a few things you need to have set up on your system:
The first step is to install the required packages for Olaris to work properly. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install apache2 php php-mysql mysql-server
You will be prompted to enter a password for the MySQL root user during the installation process.
Once you have installed the required packages, you need to create a MySQL database for Olaris. To do this, run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root user's password that you set up during the installation. Then, run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE olaris;
GRANT ALL ON olaris.* TO 'olaris'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Be sure to replace yourpassword with a secure password for the Olaris database user.
Now, we need to download and extract the Olaris package to our web server's root directory. Run the following command to download the latest version of Olaris:
wget https://gitlab.com/olaris/olaris-server/-/archive/master/olaris-server-master.zip
Once the download completes, extract the file to your web server's root directory:
sudo unzip olaris-server-master.zip -d /var/www/html/
sudo mv /var/www/html/olaris-server-master /var/www/html/olaris
Now that we have extracted the Olaris package to our web server's root directory, we need to configure Apache to serve the Olaris site. First, create a new virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/olaris.conf
Then, paste the following configuration block into this file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/olaris/public
<Directory /var/www/html/olaris/public>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Be sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name. Then, save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, then ENTER.
Enable the new virtual host file and then reload the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo a2ensite olaris.conf
sudo service apache2 reload
Now the Olaris installation process is almost complete. Open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/install to complete the installation process. You will be presented with a web-based installer that will guide you through the remaining steps of the installation process.
Once the installation has completed, you can access your Olaris site by navigating to http://yourdomain.com.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Olaris on MXLinux Latest.
