This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Shopware Community Edition on OpenBSD. Shopware is a popular e-commerce platform that offers a range of features for online stores.
Before installing Shopware, make sure you have the following prerequisites set up on your OpenBSD server:
The first step is to download the latest version of Shopware Community Edition from the official website. You can find the download link at https://www.shopware.com/en/download/.
Once downloaded, extract the ZIP archive to a directory on your OpenBSD server.
# mkdir /var/www/shopware
# cd /var/www/shopware
# wget https://releases.shopware.com/install_5.7.3_3f2b3c53e31b7a505d5b5bdcd96e81fb6c0355d5.zip
# unzip install_5.7.3_3f2b3c53e31b7a505d5b5bdcd96e81fb6c0355d5.zip
Next, you need to configure PHP on your OpenBSD server to meet the requirements of Shopware. Edit the following settings in your php.ini file:
memory_limit = 512M
max_execution_time = 3600
file_uploads = On
max_file_uploads = 20
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 50M
Save the changes and restart your web server to apply the new PHP settings:
# rcctl restart httpd
Shopware requires a MySQL or MariaDB database to store its data. Create a new database for Shopware and a user with the appropriate permissions:
# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE shopware;
mysql> CREATE USER 'shopwareuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON shopware.* TO 'shopwareuser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
Now you are ready to install Shopware. Open a web browser and navigate to the URL of your Shopware installation. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.100 and you installed Shopware in the /var/www/shopware directory, you would navigate to http://192.168.0.100/shopware.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will need to enter your database credentials, specify an administrator account, and configure other settings as needed.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the Shopware admin panel to configure your online store and begin adding products.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Shopware Community Edition on your OpenBSD server. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the Shopware documentation or seek help from the Shopware community.
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!
