Phorge is a free and open-source collaborative platform used for project management, code review, and other related activities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Phorge on Void Linux.
Before you proceed with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:
First, update the package information and install the necessary dependencies using the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -Syu
sudo xbps-install nginx mariadb mariadb-client php php-fpm php-mysqli
Once the installation is completed, start the Nginx and PHP-FPM services and enable them to start automatically at boot time.
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/nginx /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/php-fpm /var/service/
Next, navigate to the directory where you want to install Phorge and clone the repository by executing the following command:
cd /var/www/
sudo git clone https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge.git
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/phorge
Now, create a new PHP-FPM pool configuration file for Phorge with the following content:
sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/phorge.conf
[phorge]
user = nginx
group = nginx
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 5
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 3
chdir = /
; Catch the Heroku headers
env[REQUEST_METHOD] = $request_method
env[REQUEST_URI] = $request_uri
env[SERVER_PROTOCOL] = $server_protocol
env[QUERY_STRING] = $query_string
env[DOCUMENT_ROOT] = /var/www/
env[SCRIPT_FILENAME] = /var/www/phorge/webroot/index.php
env[SCRIPT_NAME] = /index.php
env[PHP_SELF] = /index.php
Save and close the file.
Create a new server block configuration file for Phorge with the following content:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/phorge
server {
listen 80;
server_name phorge.example.com;
root /var/www/phorge/webroot;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/phorge/webroot$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~* /_storage/.*(\.php|\.phb)$ {
return 404;
}
}
Save and close the file. Then, create a symbolic link to enable the configuration file and restart Nginx service using the following commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/phorge /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t
sudo sv restart nginx
Create a new database for Phorge and a user with necessary privileges using the following commands:
sudo mariadb-install-db --user=mysql && sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql
sudo sv start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p
Then, create a new database, a user, and a password for Phorge:
CREATE DATABASE `phorge` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
CREATE USER 'phorge'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `phorge`.* TO 'phorge'@'localhost';
Once the database is created, navigate to the Phorge installation directory and configure it by executing the following commands:
cd /var/www/phorge
sudo ./bin/config set mysql.host localhost
sudo ./bin/config set mysql.pass password
sudo ./bin/config set mysql.user phorge
sudo ./bin/config set mysql.port 3306
sudo ./bin/config set storage.uploadpath '/var/www/phorge/files'
sudo ./bin/storage upgrade --user=root phorge
sudo ./bin/phlab upgrade --user=root phorge
You can now access your Phorge installation by entering the IP address or domain name of your server in the web browser. The default username and password for the application are as follows:
adminadminCongratulations! You have successfully installed Phorge on your Void Linux server. You can now start using it for project management, code review, and other related activities.
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!
