Traq is a PHP-based project management system. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Traq on POP! OS latest version.
The first thing we need to do is to install the Apache web server. Run the following command to install Apache on POP! OS:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Next, we are going to install MySQL database server. Run the following command to install MySQL on POP! OS:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
The next step is to install PHP on your system. Traq requires PHP version 7.1 or later. Run the following command to install PHP on POP! OS:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
We need Git to clone the Traq repository. Run the following command to install Git on POP! OS:
sudo apt-get install git
Next, we need to clone the Traq repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the Traq repository:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/traq/traq.git
Create MySQL database and user for Traq.
CREATE DATABASE traqdb;
CREATE USER traquser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON traqdb.* TO traquser@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace the 'PASSWORD' with the password you wish to use.
Create a new virtual host for Traq. Run the following command to create a new virtual host for Traq:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/traq.conf
Add the following configuration inside the <VirtualHost> tag:
ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/traq
ServerName yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
<Directory /var/www/html/traq>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Save and close the file.
Enable the traq virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite traq.conf
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com. You will see the Traq installation wizard.
Follow the instruction in the wizard to complete the Traq installation.
You have successfully installed Traq on POP! OS. You can now use Traq to manage your projects.
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!
