QloApps is an open-source online hotel management system that allows hotel owners to manage their hotels effectively. Installing QloApps on NetBSD gives you access to all the features of QloApps while running on the secure and stable NetBSD operating system.
First, update the system packages by running the following command:
sudo pkgin update && sudo pkgin upgrade
QloApps requires the following packages to be installed on your system:
To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo pkgin install apache mysql-server php72-gd php72-bcmath php72-intl php72-mbstring php72-pdo_mysql
During the installation of MySQL Server, you will be prompted to set a root password. Once you've set the password, remember to keep it safe.
By default, Apache is installed and started after the first run of the 'update' command in Step 1. However, we need to configure it to use QloApps.
Create a new virtual host configuration file for QloApps in the Apache "sites-available" directory by running the following command:
sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/sites-available/qlo.conf
Edit the file to look like the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_server_name_or_ip
DocumentRoot /usr/pkg/qloapps
<Directory /usr/pkg/qloapps/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/qlo.error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/qlo.access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Note that you should replace "your_server_name_or_ip" with your server's domain name or IP address.
Enable the newly created virtual host by creating a symbolic link to the "sites-enabled" directory:
sudo ln -s /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/sites-available/qlo.conf /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/qlo.conf
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl restart
Download the latest version of QloApps from the official website:
wget https://github.com/qloapps/qloapps/releases/download/v1.4.2/QloApps-v1.4.2.zip
Unzip the downloaded file:
sudo unzip QloApps-v1.4.2.zip -d /usr/pkg/
Rename the extracted folder to "qloapps":
sudo mv /usr/pkg/QloApps-v1.4.2 /usr/pkg/qloapps
Set the correct permission for the Apache user (www-data) to access QloApps directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/pkg/qloapps
Navigate to the QloApps installation wizard by visiting your server's domain name or IP address in your web browser:
http://your_server_name_or_ip/install
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
In this tutorial, we covered the steps to install QloApps on NetBSD. After the installation, the QloApps can be accessed at your server's domain name or IP address. QloApps is now ready to manage your hotel effectively.
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!
