Admidio is a free, open-source web application that helps you manage your organization's members, events, and activities. In this tutorial, we'll cover the steps to install Admidio on POP! OS Latest.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
First, you'll need to download the latest Admidio release from the official website. You can do this by visiting admidio.org/">www.admidio.org and clicking on the "Download Admidio" button.
Alternatively, you can use the command line to download the latest version:
wget https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/releases/download/v_4_2_1/admidio-4.2.1.zip
Before you can install Admidio, you'll need to install some additional packages to ensure that Admidio works correctly. To do this, open up the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php php7.4-gd php7.4-mysql unzip
This command installs the required packages for Admidio.
Once you've downloaded Admidio and installed the prerequisites, you'll need to extract the files. To do this, navigate to the directory where you saved the Admidio ZIP file and run the following command:
unzip admidio-4.2.1.zip
This command will extract the Admidio files to a folder called "admidio" in the directory where you saved the ZIP file.
Now that you've extracted Admidio, you'll need to configure it. To do this, you'll need to create a virtual host or subdirectory in your web server configuration file.
For Apache, you can create a virtual host by creating a new file in the "sites-available" directory. Here is an example configuration for a virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/admidio
ServerName admidio.example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/admidio>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/admidio-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/admidio-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
For Nginx, you can create a new server block in the "sites-available" directory. Here is an example configuration for a server block:
server {
listen 80;
server_name admidio.example.com;
root /var/www/html/admidio;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/admidio-error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/admidio-access.log;
}
Once you've created the virtual host or subdirectory, restart your web server:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
or
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Now that you've configured Admidio, you can install it by visiting the URL you configured in your web server configuration file.
For example, if you configured a virtual host for "admidio.example.com", you can access Admidio by visiting http://admidio.example.com/ in your web browser.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process.
Admidio is now up and running on your POP! OS Latest server. You can start using Admidio to manage your organization's members, events, and activities.
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!
