Foodsoft is an open source web-based software for managing food cooperatives. It allows cooperatives to manage orders, inventory, and accounting. Here's how to install it on Void Linux.
Before installing Foodsoft, you need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following command as root user.
xbps-install -Su
xbps-install -y ruby ruby-bundler ruby-sqlite3 sqlite-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel make gcc zlib-devel
Download the latest version of Foodsoft from their official website.
wget https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/archive/main.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file using the following command.
tar -xzf main.tar.gz
This will create a directory named "foodsoft-main".
Navigate to the extracted directory and run the following command.
cd foodsoft-main
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:seed
Once the installation is complete, start the Foodsoft server with the following command.
bundle exec rails server
Now, you can access Foodsoft by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:3000.
By following the above steps, you should be able to install Foodsoft on your Void Linux system. You can now start using this powerful tool to manage your food cooperative.
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!
