Tine Community Edition is an open-source groupware solution that provides various tools for managing contacts, emails, calendars, and more. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Tine Community Edition on an Ubuntu Server.
Before starting the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites:
To ensure that your server has the latest packages and dependencies, update the software packages using the command below:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

To install Tine Community Edition on your Ubuntu Server, you need to follow these steps:
Download the latest version of Tine Community Edition from their GitHub page.
Extract the downloaded package to the /var/www/html/ directory by running the command below:
sudo tar -xvf Tine-2.0-Community-Edition-*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Rename the extracted directory using the command:
sudo mv /var/www/html/Tine-2.0-Community-Edition-* /var/www/html/tine20
Assign the correct ownership of the /var/www/html/tine20/ directory to the www-data user and group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/tine20/
You need to configure Apache to serve the Tine Community Edition files. For that, you need to create a new configuration file /etc/apache/sites-available/tine20.conf and add the following lines to it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName tine20.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tine20/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace tine20.domain.com with your Ubuntu Server's hostname or IP address.
Next, enable the newly created virtual host by running the commands:
sudo a2ensite tine20.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Create a new MySQL database for Tine Community Edition using the command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE tine20;
GRANT ALL ON tine20.* TO 'tineuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure that you replace tineuser and password with your desired username and password.
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-servers-ip/tine20/. You should be redirected to the Tine Community Edition Welcome Page.
From here, you can follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup and start using Tine Community Edition.
That's it! You can now install Tine Community Edition on your Ubuntu Server and organize your personal and professional groupware data with ease.
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!
