pretalx.org/">Pretalx is an open-source conference management system. Installing pretalx on Manjaro is quite easy and can be done by following these steps:
Pretalx is built in Python, so you need to have Python installed on your system. If you don't have Python installed on your Manjaro system, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S python
Pretalx requires PostgreSQL as its backend database. If you have not installed PostgreSQL on your system, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
After installing PostgreSQL, you need to create a new database for Pretalx to use. You can create a new PostgreSQL database by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo -u postgres createdb <database_name>
You can install Pretalx on Manjaro by using pip. First, you need to install pip by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S python-pip
Once pip is installed, you can use it to install Pretalx. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pip install pretalx
After installing Pretalx, you need to configure it. Generate a new configuration file by running the following command in your terminal:
pretalx migrate
This will generate a new configuration file config.yml in the Pretalx installation directory. You need to edit this file and provide the necessary configuration details such as database name, username, and password.
Open the configuration file with the following command:
nano ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/pretalx/config.yml
Update the following fields with your database information:
DATABASES:
default:
ENGINE: django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2
NAME: <database_name>
USER: <database_username>
PASSWORD: <database_password>
HOST: localhost
PORT: ""
Save and close the configuration file.
After configuring Pretalx, start it by running the following command in your terminal:
pretalx start
This will start the Pretalx server on your Manjaro system. You should be able to access Pretalx by opening your web browser and typing http://localhost:8000 in the address bar.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Pretalx on Manjaro!
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!
