How to install Organizr on NetBSD

Organizr is a web-based tool that allows users to organize all their different web applications in one place, making it easy to access them from a single dashboard.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Organizr on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A NetBSD server or VPS with root access
• A domain name pointing to your server's IP address
• A basic understanding of SSH and the command-line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Install necessary dependencies

First, we need to install the necessary packages and dependencies for Organizr to work. Run the following command to install them:

pkgin update
pkgin install php-fpm nginx mysql-server php-mysqli php-curl php-mbstring php-json php-xml php-zip php-gd

Step 2: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve Organizr. First, create a new Nginx server block by running the following command:

nano /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf

Then, paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME;

        root /usr/pkg/share/organizr;
        index index.php;

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

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }
}

Don't forget to replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME with your actual domain name.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Next, create a symbolic link to enable the site:

ln -s /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/organizr.conf

Then, restart Nginx to apply the changes:

rcctl restart nginx

Step 3: Download and install Organizr

Next, we need to download and install Organizr. First, create a directory for Organizr:

mkdir /usr/pkg/share/organizr

Then, go to the Organizr releases page on GitHub and find the latest release. Download the .zip file and extract it into the newly created directory:

cd /usr/pkg/share/organizr
wget https://github.com/causefx/Organizr/releases/latest/download/Organizr.main.zip
unzip Organizr.main.zip

Step 4: Set up Organizr

Now, we need to set up Organizr. First, navigate to the Organizr directory:

cd /usr/pkg/share/organizr

Next, rename the config.sample.php file to config.php:

mv config.sample.php config.php

Then, open the config.php file and edit the following values:

• $db_host - Set this to localhost.
• $db_username - Set this to root.
• $db_password - Set this to the password you set for the MySQL root user during installation.
• $db_name - Set this to the name of the MySQL database you want to use for Organizr.
• $timeZone - Set this to your timezone, for example America/New_York.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Finally, open your browser and navigate to http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting up Organizr.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Organizr on NetBSD. You can now use Organizr to organize and access all your web applications from one convenient dashboard.

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!
