This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Foodsoft on OpenSUSE latest release.
Foodsoft requires several dependencies for it to work properly. To install these dependencies, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install ruby ruby-devel rubygems sqlite3 zlib-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel nodejs
Next, download the Foodsoft source code from the official website. Foodsoft source code is available in tar.gz format which can be downloaded using wget:
wget https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/archive/v6.0.0.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive with the following command:
tar -xvf v6.0.0.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted directory by running the following command:
cd foodsoft-6.0.0
Install the required gems using the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
bundle install
Copy the default database configuration and adjust the database credentials according to your setup:
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
Before running Foodsoft, we need to initialize the database. The following command will set up the required tables and fill them with initial data:
bin/setup
Once the database is initialized, you can start the Foodsoft server by running the following command:
rails server
You can now open a web browser and access the Foodsoft web interface at http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Foodsoft on OpenSUSE latest release. Foodsoft is now ready to use and you can start managing your food cooperative with it.
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!
