How to Install Krayin on OpenBSD

Krayin is a web-based customer relationship management (CRM) system. In this tutorial, we will provide complete instructions on how to install Krayin on an OpenBSD operating system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need to have the following:

• A server running OpenBSD
• Root access to the server
• A web server installed and running
• PHP 7.2 or later installed and running
• MySQL 5.6 or later installed and running

Step 1 - Download Krayin

First, download the latest version of Krayin from their official website https://krayincrm.com/.

Step 2 - Extract Files

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to the document root of your web server.

$ tar -xzvf krayin-vX.X.X.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/

Step 3 - Set Permissions

Make sure that the web server has permissions to read and write the files. Run the following command to set the file permissions:

$ chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/krayin/

Step 4 - Create a Database

Now you need to create a new MySQL database for Krayin's data. Use the following command to log in to MySQL server as root:

$ mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password and press Enter.

Create a new database with the following command:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE krayin;

Now, create a new MySQL user and grant permissions to the newly created database:

mysql> CREATE USER 'krayin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON krayin.* TO 'krayin'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace password with a strong and secure password.

Step 5 - Configure Krayin

Next, you need to configure Krayin to connect to the database. Copy the config-sample.php to config.php using the following command:

$ cp /var/www/htdocs/krayin/application/config/config-sample.php /var/www/htdocs/krayin/application/config/config.php

Edit the config.php file and enter the database details:

$config['db_hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_username'] = 'krayin';
$config['db_password'] = 'password';
$config['db_database'] = 'krayin';

Replace password with the password set in the previous step.

Step 6 - Finalize the Setup

To finalize the setup, navigate to http://your-server-ip/krayin/ in your web browser. You will be prompted for the setup process, follow the instructions to finish the setup.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Krayin on an OpenBSD server. You should now have a working instance of Krayin and can customize and use it for your CRM needs.
