ChiefOnboarding is an efficient solution that helps organizations onboard new employees quickly and effectively. In this tutorial, we will describe the process of installing ChiefOnboarding on Ubuntu Server Latest.
To install ChiefOnboarding on Ubuntu Server, you need the following things:
Before installing any new software, it is always a good idea to update your system and software packages. You can do this through the terminal using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To host and manage ChiefOnboarding on your server, you need a web server. We will be using Apache2. You can install Apache2 using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
ChiefOnboarding is built using PHP, so you need to install PHP and a few extensions to make it work. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-dom php-curl php-mysql
Composer is a PHP package manager used to install, update, and manage dependencies in PHP applications. You can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install composer
You can download ChiefOnboarding from the official website or clone the GitHub repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ChiefOnboarding/onboarding.git
ChiefOnboarding uses several third-party libraries and packages that are managed by Composer. Navigate to the ChiefOnboarding directory and install these dependencies using the following command:
cd onboarding
composer install
ChiefOnboarding requires a MySQL database to store its data. You can create a database using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
create database database_name;
grant all privileges on database_name.* to 'username' identified by 'password';
Replace database_name, username, and password with your desired values.
Now that you have everything installed and set up, you need to configure ChiefOnboarding to use your database. Copy the config-sample.php file in the app directory to config.php and edit it:
cp app/config-sample.php app/config.php
nano app/config.php
Replace the database details with the details you set up in Step 7.
ChiefOnboarding comes with a SQL file containing the necessary schema for the database. Navigate to the ChiefOnboarding directory and import it using the following command:
cd onboarding
mysql -u username -p database_name < sql/onboarding.sql
Replace username and database_name with your database credentials.
ChiefOnboarding needs write access to a few directories to function properly. You can set the necessary permissions using the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage public/uploads
sudo chmod -R 775 storage public/uploads
To apply the changes we made, restart the Apache2 web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
That's it! You can now access ChiefOnboarding by navigating to http://your-server-ip-address/onboarding/public/ in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install ChiefOnboarding on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now you can start using ChiefOnboarding to onboard your new employees easily and efficiently.
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!
