How to Install Tuleap on Manjaro

Tuleap is a web-based suite of tools designed to help you manage projects and collaborate with other team members. It includes a variety of tools for version control, issue tracking, wiki documentation, and more. In this tutorial, we will be installing Tuleap on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Manjaro Linux machine
• A sudo user account

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can install Tuleap, we need to install some required dependencies. Open a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm nginx mariadb nodejs npm composer unzip git

This will install PHP, the FastCGI Process Manager, the Nginx web server, the MariaDB database server, Node.js, npm, Composer, Unzip, and Git.

Step 2: Create a Database

Next, we need to create a MariaDB database and user for Tuleap. Enter the following command to open the MySQL prompt:

sudo mysql

Once you are in the MySQL prompt, enter the following commands to create a new database and user:

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

Be sure to replace yourpassword with a strong password of your choice.

Step 3: Download and Configure Tuleap

Use git to clone the Tuleap repository:

git clone https://github.com/Enalean/tuleap

Now, go into the Tuleap directory:

cd tuleap

Next, switch to the latest stable release:

git checkout `git tag | sort -V | grep -P "^v\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)?$" | tail -1`

Once you have checked out the latest stable release, run the installation script to set up Tuleap:

sudo ./install.sh

The installation process will ask for some configuration options, such as the database credentials and administrator email address.

Step 4: Set Up Nginx and PHP-FPM

Now that Tuleap is installed, we need to set up the web server and PHP-FPM to serve the application.

First, create a new server block in the Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/tuleap.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com; // replace with your domain name or IP address
    root /usr/share/tuleap/www;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Be sure to replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name or IP address.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Next, enable the server block by creating a symlink to the sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tuleap.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Test the Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors, restart the Nginx and PHP-FPM service:

sudo systemctl restart nginx php-fpm

Step 5: Access Tuleap

Open a web browser and navigate to your domain name or IP address. You should see the Tuleap login screen.

Log in using the administrator credentials you configured during installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tuleap on Manjaro Linux.

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!
