In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ITFlow on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites that you should have:
The first step is to update Ubuntu packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
After updating packages, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y git curl php7.4 php7.4-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-mbstring php7.4-zip php7.4-xml mariadb-server mariadb-client
Next, we will install Composer to manage dependencies for PHP packages. Run the following command to download and install Composer globally:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Clone the ITFlow Git repository to your Ubuntu server by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ITFlowOrg/ITFlow.git
Create a new database and user for ITFlow by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted, then run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE `itflow`;
CREATE USER 'itflowuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `itflow`.* TO 'itflowuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT
Navigate to the ITFlow directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
cd ITFlow && composer install
Copy the .env.example file to .env and edit it as needed:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Make sure to configure the database settings as follows:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=itflow
DB_USERNAME=itflowuser
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
Run the database migrations to set up ITFlow's database schema:
php artisan migrate
To configure Apache or Nginx web server for ITFlow, follow the instructions in the official ITFlow documentation.
Finally, start the ITFlow application by running the following command:
php artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8080
You can then access ITFlow at http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ITFlow on Ubuntu Server Latest.
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!
