Phorge is a web-based free and open-source platform for software development and project management. It allows users to manage their projects, track bugs, and collaborate on code. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Phorge on POP! OS Latest.
Before installing Phorge, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step in installing Phorge on POP! OS is to install the dependencies. You can install the dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-intl php-pear php7.4-imap php7.4-pspell php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-xsl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-dev git-core git-man git
Next, download the Phorge source code from the Github repository by running the following command:
cd /var/www/
sudo git clone https://github.com/phacility/phabricator.git
cd phabricator/
sudo git checkout --track refs/tags/release
Now, you need to configure the Apache web server to serve the Phorge application. You can do this by creating a virtual host configuration file in the sites-available directory. Run the following command to create it:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phorge.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/phabricator/webroot
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
<Directory "/var/www/phabricator/webroot">
Require all granted
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host and rewrite module by running the following commands:
sudo a2ensite phorge.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Finally, restart the Apache server:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Create a new database and user for the Phorge application. Run the following commands to login to the MySQL shell and create the database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE phorge;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phorge.* TO 'phorgeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Replace phorgeuser and password with your desired username and password.
Now that you have all the dependencies installed and configured, you need to configure Phorge itself. To do this, copy the config template and edit the necessary settings:
cd /var/www/phabricator/
sudo cp conf/local/local.json.sample conf/local/local.json
sudo nano conf/local/local.json
Edit the file as appropriate. Here's an example configuration:
{
"mysql.user": "phorgeuser",
"mysql.pass": "password",
"mysql.host": "localhost",
"mysql.port": "3306",
"mysql.database": "phorge",
"auth.email-domains": [
"example.com"
]
}
Save and close the file.
Finally, you can install Phorge itself by running the following command:
sudo ./bin/config set mysql.pass password
sudo ./bin/storage upgrade --force
Replace password with the password you set in Step 4. This will install and configure the database schema required by Phorge.
Phorge is now installed and configured on your POP! OS Latest machine. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip-address/.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Phorge on POP! OS Latest. You can now start using Phorge for your software development and project management needs.
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!
