RERO ILS is a free and open-source integrated library system that helps automate library management tasks such as cataloging, circulation, and acquisitions. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install RERO ILS on Manjaro.
Before we get started, make sure that you have the following:
Before we begin, we need to update our system to ensure that we have the latest software packages:
sudo pacman -Syu
RERO ILS runs on Docker, so you need to have Docker installed on your system. If you don't have Docker installed, run the following command to install it:
sudo pacman -S docker
You also need to start the Docker service:
sudo systemctl start docker
To enable Docker to start automatically after a reboot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose on Manjaro, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S docker-compose
You can download RERO ILS from the official website. Click on the "Download" button to download the latest version of RERO ILS.
Alternatively, you can run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rero/rero-ils.git
This will download the RERO ILS repository to your current directory.
Before you can start RERO ILS, you need to configure it. Navigate to the rero-ils directory and copy the .env-sample file to .env:
cd rero-ils
cp .env-sample .env
Open the .env file in your preferred text editor and update the configuration variables according to your needs.
To start RERO ILS, run the following command:
docker-compose up
This will start the RERO ILS containers and display their logs on your terminal. Wait for the containers to start and press CTRL+C to stop the logs.
Once the containers are up and running, you can access RERO ILS by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000. If everything is working correctly, you should see the RERO ILS login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed RERO ILS on Manjaro. You can now start using RERO ILS to manage your library's resources.
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!
