Step 4: Set up Apache

To make Grocy accessible from your browser, set up Apache virtual host. Create a new Apache virtual host by running the following command:

Paste the following configuration into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName grocy.example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/grocy/public

</VirtualHost>

Replace grocy.example.com with your preferred domain name. Save the file and enable the new virtual host:

sudo a2ensite grocy

Restart Apache for changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Configure the Database

Create a new database user and database for Grocy:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Execute the following commands to create a database and user:

CREATE DATABASE grocy;
CREATE USER 'grocy'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON grocy.* TO 'grocy'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace password with a secure password.
