Juntagrico is an open-source system that enables community-supported agriculture (CSA) organizations to manage their members, products, and deliveries. It is built using the Yii PHP framework and depends on several PHP extensions, a database server, and a web server.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Juntagrico on Ubuntu Server. We will assume that you have a basic understanding of Ubuntu and command-line interfaces.
You will need the following to install Juntagrico on Ubuntu Server:
Before installing any new software or application, make sure to update your system packages to the latest available versions. The easiest way to do this is by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Install the following packages required to run Juntagrico:
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysqli php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-cli openssl libcurl4-openssl-dev libzip-dev unzip
After installing the packages, restart the Apache server to activate the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that enables the installation of libraries and packages. Juntagrico requires Composer to manage its dependencies.
Run the following commands to install Composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
Verify that Composer is installed by running:
composer --version
Download the latest release of Juntagrico using the following command:
sudo curl -sS https://api.github.com/repos/juntagrico/juntagrico/releases/latest \
| grep browser_download_url \
| grep "juntagrico-.*-full.zip" \
| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
| wget -qi -
This command will download the latest version of Juntagrico in zip format. Extract the downloaded zip file:
sudo unzip juntagrico-*-full.zip
Move the extracted files to the web root directory:
sudo mv juntagrico /var/www/html/
Next, configure the database and other required settings for Juntagrico. Create a new database for Juntagrico:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MySQL password and run:
CREATE DATABASE juntagrico;
CREATE USER 'juntagrico'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'juntagrico_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON juntagrico.* TO 'juntagrico'@'localhost';
Replace "juntagrico_password" with a strong password of your choice.
Navigate to the Juntagrico directory using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/juntagrico/
Copy the env.example file to a new .env file:
sudo cp .env.example .env
Update the new .env file with your database details:
DB_USERNAME=juntagrico
DB_PASSWORD=juntagrico_password
DB_DATABASE=juntagrico
Install the required dependencies by running:
composer install
Initialize Juntagrico using the following command:
php init
You will be prompted to choose the environment. Select "dev" for development.
After initialization, migrate the database structure using:
./yii migrate/up --interactive=0
Create a virtual host configuration file for Juntagrico with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/juntagrico.conf
Copy and paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/juntagrico/web/
<Directory /var/www/html/juntagrico/web/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/juntagrico-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/juntagrico-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace "admin@example.com" and "example.com" with your email and domain name respectively.
Enable the new virtual host configuration and restart the Apache server:
sudo a2ensite juntagrico.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
You're almost there! You can now access Juntagrico by opening your web browser and entering your server IP address or domain name.
http://<your-server-ip-address-or-domain-name>
You should be redirected to the Juntagrico setup page, where you can create an admin user and configure your CSA organization.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed and set up Juntagrico on 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!
