Organizr is an advanced web-based software that allows you to organize and manage various online content and services, like Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, and more, in a single location.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Organizr on MXLinux Latest using the terminal and the Nginx web server.
Before we begin, you must have the following:
The first step is to update the package list and install the required packages for Organizr:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl git unzip php-fpm php-zip php-mbstring php-xml php-curl php-gd
Once the installation is complete, enable and start the PHP-FPM service:
sudo systemctl enable php7.3-fpm
sudo systemctl start php7.3-fpm
Next, download and install Organizr. We will use Git to clone the Organizr repository from Github:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/causefx/Organizr
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data Organizr
The last command changes the ownership of the Organizr directory to the www-data user and group, which is necessary for Nginx to serve the webpages.
Now, we need to create a new Nginx configuration file for Organizr. Let's use the default Nginx configuration file for our website:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Delete everything in the file and replace it with the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain-name.com; # domain name or IP address of your MXLinux system
root /var/www/html/Organizr;
index index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
}
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y, and then Enter.
Next, test the Nginx configuration and restart the server:
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, visit your MXLinux system's IP address or domain name in a web browser:
http://your-domain-name.com/
You should see the Organizr setup page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Organizr requires a database. You can either use the built-in SQLite database or connect to an external MySQL or MariaDB database.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to Organizr by visiting:
http://your-domain-name.com/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Organizr on MXLinux Latest using Nginx. You can now start organizing and managing your online content and services in a single location.
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!
