How to Install InvoicePlane on OpenSUSE

InvoicePlane is an open-source invoicing platform that provides a simple and easy-to-use platform for creating and managing invoices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing InvoicePlane on OpenSUSE, the latest version.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

1. You have root access to your OpenSUSE machine.
2. You have installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL on your OpenSUSE system.
3. You have the latest version of Git installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Git

First, you'll need to install Git on your OpenSUSE system. To do this, simply run the following command:

zypper install git

Step 2: Clone the InvoicePlane Repository

Now that you have Git installed, you can clone the InvoicePlane repository. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository and run:

git clone git://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane.git

This will create a directory named InvoicePlane in the current directory.

Step 3: Create a New MySQL Database

Next, you need to create a new MySQL database for InvoicePlane. Log in to the MySQL server as the root user with the following command:

mysql -u root -p

When prompted, enter the root user password. Then, create a new database named invoiceplane using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE invoiceplane;

Step 4: Create a New MySQL User

Next, create a new MySQL user with full privileges on the invoiceplane database. You can do this by running the following command:

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

Be sure to replace password with a strong password of your choice.

Step 5: Install Composer

InvoicePlane uses Composer, a PHP package manager, to manage its dependencies. To install Composer on your OpenSUSE system, run the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Step 6: Install InvoicePlane Dependencies

Next, navigate to the InvoicePlane directory and run the following command to install InvoicePlane dependencies:

composer install --no-dev

Step 7: Configure Apache

Now that you have installed InvoicePlane and its dependencies, you need to configure Apache to serve the application. Create a new Apache configuration file for InvoicePlane with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/invoiceplane.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/invoiceplane/public
    <Directory /path/to/invoiceplane/public>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Be sure to replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name and /path/to/invoiceplane/public with the actual path to your InvoicePlane directory. Save and exit the file.

Step 8: Restart Apache

Finally, restart Apache to load the new configuration:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 9: Access InvoicePlane

You can now access InvoicePlane by navigating to http://your_domain.com in your web browser. You will be prompted to create an administrator account before you can use the application.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed InvoicePlane on OpenSUSE.

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!
