In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of ProjeQtOr on the latest version of Ubuntu Server.
Before proceeding with the installation process, let’s start by updating our system packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
ProjeQtOr is built with PHP, so we need to install PHP and its dependencies along with an Apache web server.
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-gd php7.4-cli php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml libjs-jquery
Visit the ProjeQtOr website and download the latest stable version of ProjeQtOr by clicking on the download button.
After downloading, extract the archive file into the Apache www directory:
sudo tar -xzf projeqtor-<version>.tar.gz -C /var/www
Rename the extracted folder to something simpler:
sudo mv /var/www/projeqtor-<version> /var/www/projeqtor
Create a new MySQL database for ProjeQtOr and a new user with full privileges:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and create a new database and user for ProjeQtOr:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE projeqtor;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projeqtor.* TO 'projeqtoruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
projeqtoruser is the name of the MySQL user and password is the password we set for that user.
Create a new virtual host configuration file for ProjeQtOr:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/projeqtor.conf
Add the following content to the virtual host configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/projeqtor
<Directory /var/www/projeqtor>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/projeqtor_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/projeqtor_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your server's domain name or IP address.
Now, enable the new virtual host configuration file:
sudo a2ensite projeqtor.conf
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Navigate to your server's domain name or IP address in your web browser (http://example.com/), and you should see the ProjeQtOr installation page.
The installation process will prompt you to select your language, database configuration, and some other settings. Enter the database username, password, and database name that we created earlier.
After finishing the installation process, you will be redirected to the ProjeQtOr login page. The default login credentials are:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed ProjeQtOr on the latest version of Ubuntu Server!
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!
