Thelia is an e-commerce software that allows you to create a professional web store. If you want to install Thelia on OpenBSD, here is a step-by-step tutorial.
To install Thelia, you first need to download the source code from the official Thelia website. You can download the latest version of Thelia from the following link:
https://thelia.net/download/
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version of Thelia directly from the terminal:
$ cd /var/www
$ git clone https://github.com/thelia/thelia.git
Before running the Thelia installer, you need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed on the system. To do this, use the following command:
$ pkg_add php-yaml php-zip php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xmlwriter php-xmlreader php-dom php-pdo php-pdo_mysql php-pdo_pgsql php-curl php-zip
You need to set the correct permissions for the Thelia directory and its subdirectories. You can do this with the following command:
$ chown -R www:www /var/www/thelia
Creating a database is an important step in setting up Thelia. First, create a database using either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Then, give a database name, database username, and password.
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
CREATE USER dbuser with PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO dbuser;
Thelia requires a configuration file to run. You need to create a new configuration file by copying the config.dist.php file to config.php.
$ cp /var/www/thelia/config/config.dist.php /var/www/thelia/config/config.php
Open the config.php file with a text editor and fill in the database connection details including the password that you set earlier.
'TH_DB_DSN' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbname',
'TH_DB_USER' => 'dbuser',
'TH_DB_PASSWORD' => 'password',
Now that the configuration is set up, you can install Thelia. Run the following command in the terminal to start the installation process:
$ php /var/www/thelia/index.php install
You will be asked to create an administrator account, set the store name and other information.
Thelia installer automatically sets up the server. Now to start the server, we can use;
$ php -S localhost:8080 -t /var/www/thelia/web
Once started, you can access Thelia by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost:8080/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Thelia on OpenBSD. Feel free to explore all the features of Thelia, and remember to keep your installation updated for the best experience!
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!
