In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Organizr which is an open-source solution for organizing various web applications behind a single, user-friendly interface.
Before diving into the installation process, make sure you have the following essential items setup:
Organizr requires a webserver and a PHP runtime environment to run. We will begin the installation process by installing Nginx and PHP using apt package manager.
Open a terminal window and type the following command to update the system package list:
sudo apt-get update
Next, run the following command to install Nginx and PHP along with their dependencies:
sudo apt-get install nginx php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-intl php-curl
To install Organizr, you will need to download its latest release from its official GitHub repository at https://github.com/causefx/Organizr.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install Organizr and clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/causefx/Organizr.git
Now that we have installed Nginx and downloaded Organizr, we can configure our webserver to serve Organizr.
To do that, we need to create a new virtual host configuration file for Organizr. Use the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr
Now, copy and paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com; #Replace with your domain name
location / {
root /path/to/organizr;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.x-fpm.sock; #Replace x with PHP version you are using
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
}
}
Make sure to replace the server_name and root values with your domain name and actual path respectively.
Once done, save and exit the file.
Next, create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory using the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Once the configuration is done, start both the Nginx and PHP-FPM services using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl start php7.x-fpm #Replace x with PHP version you are using
You can also enable them to start automatically on system boot using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl enable php7.x-fpm #Replace x with PHP version you are using
Organizr is now up and running. Browse to your domain name, and you should be able to see the Organizr login page.
Enter the desired credentials and start organizing your web applications.
Organizr is an excellent tool to organize your various web applications in a single interface, allowing you to consolidate your workflow. We hope that this tutorial has helped you successfully install Organizr on your POP! OS Latest system.
